Here’s the first page of my three-page story for Shelter.

Home

Here’s the first page of “Home”, a story from the new Trees & Hills anthology Shelter. The following four pages show the house’s life after foreclosure. “Home” was written by Trees & Hills co-founder Daniel Barlow; when the original artist wasn’t able to finish the piece, I volunteered (insanely, given everything else I had to do) to draw a quick version at the last minute. I’ll post ordering info and a page from my own story soon.

A Public Service Announcement

Tedford - PSA 1x

Whoah, what’s going on here?! It looked like a sort of dull installment of Spinning World, and then it got all – all sexy?

This is most of the first page of my contribution to Big Sexy, an anthology I haven’t yet mentioned that I’m co-editing. The remaining pages are way sexier than anything heretofore shown on my little website, so if you want to see the rest you’ll have to get a copy of Big Sexy (to do which you’ll need to be a legal adult). It debuts this weekend at SPX (I’ll be there), and shortly thereafter will be available through Offshore Comix online and gradually through local retailers – a mere $6 for a whopping 92 pages!

Here’s the intro I wrote for the collection:

A society’s sexual art can reveal a lot about that society beyond the “basics” of what turns its people on – which I think is why some of us have such difficulty finding pornography we can enjoy without reservations. Modern mainstream porn is the porn of a sexist, racist, class-divided society.

We want something better.

The comics in this anthology express a variety of sexuality’s many aspects: social, solitary, fantastic, realistic, straight, gay, serious, humorous, and more. What they share in common is their spirit. The artists have each drawn on their interests and values to bring us something positive. They have presented sex in ways that make sense to them.

Together they present us something we hope is much more inclusive and enjoyable than the narrow visions so often sold to us as “sexy” – a Big Sexy, with room for everyone.

Maybe I’ll get along better with time if I keep drawing comics about it?

Super Friendly Garlic 1 of 8

As you can see, I’ve decided to create a comic designed to become the next blockbuster movie hit…(I’ll replace this with a proper scan when the comic is finished & I can bring myself to tear it out of my sketchbook.)

Multiple Internet Presence Disorder Worsens

In the quest to inflict my doodlings on as wide an audience as possible, I have entered the realms of Farcebook. Click away if you’re into that sort of thing!

You can also find me on Livejournal and some more specialized networks: We Make Zines, Poopsheet Foundation, and Comicspace.

I’m hoping to overhaul this website soon, once I set aside some time and come to grips with ComicPress.
