First First Interview With Me about Hereville!

Desirous of Everything has posted their “first first” interview with me. That one’s from a while ago, I think, but it’s nice to see it online. Here’s a sample: Question: I personally, loved Pig. I love how much expression he portrays before he even speaks. And then when he spoke for the first time, I [...]

Mini-interview of Barry from TCAF

I’ve been quiet lately because I’m in Canada. I’ll post a bit about this trip once I’m home, but meanwhile here’s a short interview from last month’s trip to Canada, when I attended the Toronto Comics Arts Fest.

Barry Interviewed on “Hey, Women! Comics!” (And why having good female characters matters.)

Hereville interview on The Book of Life!

Heidi Estrin — a librarian who knows more about Jewish kids books than pretty much anyone on Earth — interviewed me for her podcast, “The Book of Life.” It was a really fun interview for me (and only the second interview I’ve done face-to-face, rather than via email or phone), and considering the depth of [...]

Today, I’ll link to a series of four (!) articles by Christian Lipski in The Portland Examiner. First, there’s Christian’s detailed report of the Premiereville event at Powell’s on Hawthorne. (I posted some photos [...]
