MoCCA Comic Arts Festival 2011

Just wanted to mention that the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art festival 2011 is this weekend, April 9 – 10, at the Lexington Avenue Armory, 68 Lexington Ave (Between 25th & 26th Streets), New York City. More info HERE.

The “festival” is really a comic book convention which acts as a fundraiser for the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art. Hours: Saturday April 9th and Sunday April 10th 11am-6pm.

I don’t have my own table this year, but I’ll be sketching at the MoCCA table from 12 – 1 pm both Saturday and Sunday. All proceeds go to the MoCCA gallery.

Ben 10!

I should mention that CARTOON NETWORK ACTION PACK #58 is out now, featuring a full-color cover by me and 17 interior pages that I penciled, inks by Dan Davis, story by Marc Bernardin.

It’s the first time I colored my own work on one of these stories, other than the covers. I thought it all came together pretty well.

A New York Story

Last night, attended the New York premiere screening of first time documentary film-maker Dan Makara’s “IRWIN – A NEW YORK STORY”, at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art. The film is a portrait of legendary cartoonist Irwin Hasen, co-creator of “DONDI” and “WILDCAT”, and early chronicler of the adventures of “WONDER WOMAN”, “GREEN LANTERN” and “THE JUSTICE SOCIETY”.

I was a student of Irwin’s over 20 years ago at the Joe Kubert School, and it’s always a pleasure to see Irwin at conventions or gatherings like the one last night.

Also on hand were Jerry Robinson and Jules Feiffer.

Whether you know a lot about Irwin or not, the film is worth seeing for a glimpse of his own larger-than-life character. At 92 years of age, he still knows how to work an audience.

Congrats to Irwin and Dan for a job well done!
