Chicken-footed Cauldron

spendin all day in the print shop. “Cauldrons & Casseroles” and covers!

This was a fun series I illustrated for the children’s magazine Faces on “The Wizard’s Book”, an Argentinian folk tale about gauchos and life on the pampas. Thanks to my wonderful AD John Sandford.

Hey there, jewel eyes. I made new Loot bags for you...

Printed by the fine fellows at Pizza Party. $15, available at SPX. 

"Tales from Aeaea" is a 28-page collection of stories about the various citizens of Aeaea, the isle of Circe, goddess of magic. Centuries ago, Aeaea, the isle to which Circe was exiled, was a place imbued with her magic, and docile lions and bears roamed its woods. "Tales from Aeaea" is set in a universe in which Circe was celebrated, rather than scorned, and she embraced her exile, making the isle flourish. Its citizens are students of magic, world-spanning sailors, and many are descendants of the isle's enchanted animals of old.

Here's a sneak peak of a couple pages from Saturn and Egon's story (who you might remember from my previous zine, "Warlow's Guide to Wizards, Sorceri and Familiars Arcane", a sort-of prequel).

"Tales from Aeaea" will premier at the Small Press Expo, September 13 & 14. Come see me there, and stay tuned for more updates!

*Update!*

Preorders for The Warriors baseball tees are up over at Pizza Party!

SPX this past weekend was amazing. It always roars up like a storm and then flies by too fast! I had such a great time seeing everyone and the response to “Cauldrons & Casseroles” was more enthusiastic than I'd hoped for, so thanks to everyone that bought a copy! If you're wondering about how to buy a copy for yourself, they, along with giclée prints, LOOT tote bags, the MINISCULE (as in 3) amount of enamel pins remaining will be up on my store, andreakalfas.bigcartel.com on Monday, next week. 

I'm also going to be at Baltimore Comic Con with Pizza Party Printing and Jimmy Giegerich (who’ll be selling his unbelievably good “Fight Frogs 2″) this weekend so you can grab a copy there too! ♡♡♡

What are you thinking about, Log Lady?

So there you go. What'd I tell ya? (She'll be B&W in the zine, but I can never resist color on my own time.) This one's for you, cacophonyofcolour.

Got to.

It's been awhile since I've updated, but I'm really looking forward to this year and everything I have lined up to work on. I'll be participating in some very exciting (to me and my nerd self at least) exhibitions soon, and I have a compilation zine in the works which I'm psyched to get started on/spreading the word about as well.

Stay tuned all!

Last night was another Pizza Party After Dark at The Ottobar in Baltimore where The NeverEnding Story was shown and my poster was sold (also shirts!). It was a blast. If you're in the Baltimore area, get out here every last Sunday of every month for free movies, free pizza and rad screen-printed posters & shirts by Pizza Party Printing.

You can get said rad screen-printed goods and my NeverEnding Story shirt (poster coming soon) here!

Nobrow 6

Nobrow 6, The Double is available for preorder! The big reveal feels pretty good.

My piece entails an unwelcome invasion into a private bucolic garden. I was psyched to be included in this dauntingly great lineup of artistic talent. The book features work by Luke Pearson, Chuck Groenink, John Martz, Tom Gauld, Niv Bavarsky, Nick Iluzada and tons more, and has a good chunk of comics in this issue as well. Thanks very much to Alex Spiro for extending an invitation my way.

Get your hands on it!

here are a couple details if you'd like to take a look:
