Traditional Marriage

Since the issue's been out for a while now, I'm throwing my latest comic from Secret Prison #4 up onto the internet for your reading pleasure. It's my little tryst through art history and anthropology. Click to see the full size image.



The other weekend was Punk Rock Flea Market here in Philly, and it was lots of fun! I tabled with Claire Folkman, Dre Time, and David Jablow and I debuted a series of little itty bitty mini-comics with alternate endings all about monsters! I sold out of all but one book, so I will need to make more for future tabling occasions.

When would that be, you ask? Well, plans have it that you can find me on August 14th at Philly Alt Comic Con, and on September 24th at MICE in Boston. How fun! There will be tons of new comics and, as I prepare to stay stocked on these for the rest of the year, stickers to commemorate your survival of the Rapture.

The Functionality of Flaws

Hey hey superfriends, I want to thank everybody who came out for the Philly Alt Comic Con and supported local cartoonists! It was a total blast, and we had the best seats in the house (right in front of the only window fan ;)). I'm really looking forward to next year!

And in the meantime, I'll be sharing a table with Claire Folkman and Dre Time at B.Y.O.T.Y. II (Bring Your Own Table Yo!) at Little Berlin on September 26. I am planning a few more books for that event, so check it out! Should be sweet.

The Secret Prison #2 release party was also really great, and the tabloid itself is so incredibly good. Make sure you check out comic shops around the city for a copy, every page is fantastic! I'll be posting my comic from it soon.

At PACC I got to debut my hand-bound books of my "The Functionality of Flaws" series of drawings. For your viewing pleasure I have uploaded them all on my website! Go enjoy my resourceful little ladies. Feel free to email me if you'd like a copy (kellymakesart (at) gmail.com).

MoCCA Trip continues! HULK OUT

I'm long past due on wrapping up the comics about my trip up to MoCCA months ago. I've passed over any events at MoCCA for the time being (or any escapades that occurred after Drink & Draw) and jumped ahead to my friend Claire and my subway journey back to Penn Station.

I had some x-treme bruises after this, but the horror and embarrassment of NOT making it through those doors was too much for my latent superhuman strength to not emerge.

Reminders:

Aug 7 - Philly Alt Comic Con/Secret Prison BBQ @ Locust Moon! 6:00pm, 40th & Locust
Aug 8 - Philly Alt Comic Con!! @ The Rotunda! 12:00-6:00pm, 40th & Walnut

The Ladies Down The Hall

One of the biggest perks/distractions from my old internship was the non-stop entertainment from the extremely loud, unbarred, unaware ladies down the hall. Really nice though! Also, the irony isn't lost on me that the day after I finished this comic, I spent most of the day sneezing uncontrollably.

Secret Prison #2 has also been totally funded (and then some!) and is heading out to the printers at the end of the week!! Keep an eye out for it at comic shops around the city, or come to the official debut at the Philly Alt Comic Con, where I'll be sharing a table, on August 7! There's also a BBQ for PACC at 6pm the day before where you can meet and hang out with lots of Secret Prisoners (including ME!) at Locust Moon Comics at 40th & Walnut. COOL.

Secret Prison (and me!) @ MoCCA!

This weekend (actually in mere moments!) I will be heading up to MoCCA Festival for super fun comicking adventure! Kicking it off tonight with Drink & Draw Like A Lady with my ladyfriend and fellow rad person Claire Folkman (who makes sweet comics, go look at them!). Then it's off to the meat of things on Saturday.

MoCCA marks the debut of the first issue of the entirely fantastic Secret Prison! A Philly-based alternative comics tabloid that I'm pretty stoked to be participating in! It's being put out by the fine people who partake in the Philly Comix Jam.

You can take a look-see at my SP comic here: The Ol' Grumpy Mountain.

Secret Prison's also having a second debut here in Philly at Brave New Worlds next weekend, which will be just as exciting! Away we go!
