I spent 20 hours in any airport from Sunday morning to Monday morning. It takes a lot to break me down from my fun and happy demeanor, and getting zero sleep while trying to leave a place is the thing that will destroy me. But I had my Moleskine as usual to document the weekend. So here it is, the fourth chapter to my travelogue. I’m almost done filling it up (and then I could buy a new book!). Read it here!

Click the image above to read “New York Bagel”!
New York is a magnificent place. Can you believe that I went there for the first time ever?? I had a blast with my classmates, Ben Frisch, Amber Gant, Lilly Higgs, Caleb Soloman, and Dean of SCAD: John Lowe. It was a brilliant week, felt longer than 8 days, and it’s too bad I won’t be back for a long long time. I kept a log of it in my sketchbook. It’s filled with visits to plenty of professional offices and practicing artists, including:
- Mickey Duzyj
- Rebekah Isaacs (whose name I spelt wrong throughout my journal, SORRY!)
- Cliff Chiang
- Paulo Rivera (whose name has a ‘o’ in place of the ‘u’. Gawrsh, I’m a great journalist).
- R. Kikuo Johnson
- Sean Chen
- Peter Kuper
- DC Comics
- Marvel Comics
- First Second Books
- ….and more!
- Special thanks to my great friend Alyssa and her family for housing me for a period of time (she’s in the journal for a bit, too). Hope you enjoy these 20-24 pages of my vacation/class!

I’m back in the U.S., with lots of energy and brand new things to share with you! Spring quarter is coming soon, and before that happens, I thought I’d stop here first and let you know what has been happening and where I’ve been. This week I was in Thailand, and I kept a journal during my trip. There are a whopping 17 pages of art and words up online, and will be available anytime in the Other Comics section. Enjoy, and let me know what you think!
