The Touring Test

I'm in a touring band and I draw comics about things that happen to us.

I’m in Bozeman today! Brave the snow and come hang out in the cozy @countrybookshelf this evening at 6:00.
.
I ended up using a panel from this comic page as the icon for the spine of my book “How To Completely Lose Your Mind”.
Kids are funny.

Today is my graphic novel’s soft-release party!
The event starts at 6:30 at @banksquarebooks in Mystic, CT.
My book isn’t even technically out yet! But we’ll have copies for sale.
AND a bunch of cool swag that you can only get at my book tour events!

In my graphic novel (“How To Completely Lose Your Mind” find it wherever books are sold!) I reference 29 different songs from my band Pocket Vinyl
So we made a pay-what-you-want downloadable playlist that you can listen to while you read!

This How-To page from my graphic novel is a packing hack that we use when we’re traveling. It really helps with space in the car, AND with freeing up brain space deciding what to wear everyday!
Have you preordered my book yet? If you got it from @bookshop_org you’d have it by now

Sorry I’ve been a bit absent from posting lately. My debut graphic novel comes out next month!! So I’ve been a bit preoccupied getting ready for that.
So why not share some of the pages with y’all??

Big thank you to @ChrisHallbeck creator of "Pebble and Wren" for reading an early version of my upcoming book and providing me with a blurb!
The feedback so far has been amazing, thank you all!

If my cat comics are your favourite, I have some great news: The cats make multiple appearances in my upcoming graphic novel!

Big thank you to @mattloux for not only reading an early version of my upcoming graphic novel and giving me a wonderful blurb, but also for being to one to connect me with my agent Janna and getting this whole project rolling in the first place!

Earlier this month I was in a really dark place and believed that I had been foolish to pursue my creative dreams.
Then I saw this quote from @zoesees and it made me cry. THEN I realized the quote was actually about MY book and it made me cry even more.

[The Touring Test @thetouringtest]

Another wonderful book blurb from another wonderful artist!
We’re big Dr McNinja fans so it was an honor to have @drhastings read through my book and give it such a glowing review!

“How To Completely Lose Your Mind” is set to be released this October; have you preordered yet?

[The Touring Test @thetouringtest]

It’s really important!

HUGE thank you to @tommysiegel for being one of the very first people to read my upcoming graphic novel, and for being willing to write a blurb for the back of the book.
Being another comic artist who’s also in a touring band, it meant a lot to get your thoughts on my book.

Foolishly telling myself “I just need to make it through this week, then things will slow down”

Word-for-word this happened this past weekend

This is a comic I drew some time ago, and it’s word-for-word a real interaction we had!
Also: I don’t actually think being drunk is an excuse to be a bad person. Even intoxicated people should he help responsible for their words and actions. Just wanted to make that clear!

Some people are poets.
Some people draw comics to express their feelings.
What do you do?
