Comicdom Con Athens was a blast of fun. Thanks to everybody who came by and said hello or even bought the new book! Now i get back to work, writting and drawing a lot of 2-pagers for “9″ magazine, and planning much more.
The thumbnail on the right is a panel from a comic I finished last night about me dreaming of being a member of Mogwai. It says: “And I ‘m having as much fun as possible”. Yes, that’s how it would be.
You mayclick on the thumbnail for full view.

Hello everyone!
What we did with Accra Minoa in Salonica was a hit, so we will do it again in my hometown, Athens. I ‘ve dreaming this moment for ages, and now here it is. Accra Minoa playing music and me drawing synched to their tunes.
The concert takes place on April 2nd, in AN club, Solomou 13, Exarchia, Athens. Also appearing : Figurant and One Hour Before The Trip.
Accra Minoa, will be playing live before Giardini di Miro, on Saturday 7th February, at Eightball, Pindou 1, Salonica, Greece.
And I will be there, doing digital paintings live, which will be projected during Accra Minoa’s show.
The 13th Athens International Comics Festival is held in Technopolis, Gazi, Athens, from 22nd to 25th January. You can find more info (in greek) here.
I participate in the main Greek artists exhibition for the second time, with a 13-panel one pager, which I also printed in 111 numbered and signed A3 posters. They cost 2 euros a piece, and will be auctioned in sotheby’s in killer prices 10 years from now. In case you don’t want to miss the chance to purchase one (or maybe six) in 2009 and become rich by the end of the next decade, you will find me in the self-publications booth.
Clicking on the thumbnail you get the poster in (almost) desktop proportions.
Happy New Year everybody!
2009 kicked in with the return of All the Pretty Little Jonsies . The strip is back on track, in its regular schedule, every Wednesday. In case you didn’t notice that there had been a 2-week hiatus, it’s fine by me, because I didn’t either.
I hope 2009 is better than the best year you ever had.
