So I’m Overextended, So Sue Me
Posted in News May 9th, 2008 by Ellen

Mom, Dad, yes I exist! I’m swamped: finishing up the annual report for the Seattle Public Library, working on public art for the light rail station in Capitol Hill, writing my book proposal, finishing end-of-the-semester stuff (grading papers: yuck), getting together various comics and commissions and presentations, and bracing for the Emerald City ComiCon this Sunday. I’ll call you when I find the phone, I promise!

In the meantime:

My interview with Canadian TV show SexTV aired a week ago, and they have an excerpt on their site (below I am doing the “bunny ears” quotation marks, not miming something pervy):

… and here are the most recent Lustlab Ad(s) of the Week(s):

LUST, the “Lustlab Ad of the Week” book collection, is out and on the shelves! You can order it here directly from the Fantagraphics web-catalog. “Lustlab Ad of the Week” is a comic adaptation of one of the week’s kinky personal ads in Seattle alt-weekly The Stranger, and I post them here every Wednesday.

“Going My Way!” - Thanks, Jason!
Posted in News April 30th, 2008 by Ellen

My Intro Comics student, Jason Bready, came up with the idea for the second cartoon in my “Going My Way!” series for Choose Your Way Bellevue. (The first was the flying dragon.) What next? You, too, can send a suggestion!

Lustlab of the Week 4/24

The legs don’t really make sense here - like, the right foot is kind of backwards. But I decided I liked it, that it suggests movement, so I left it.

Lustlab Ad of the Week: 4/10

Lesbian couples rarely seek extra partners on Lustlab. Or maybe they only have to answer ads — practically EVERYONE wants to fool around with two women.

Think of it: he’s hogtied in the trunk, with all those mall shoppers chatting and walking by in the parking lot. (”Mindi, I can’t believe these scented candles were 20% off!”) That’s pervy!!

Roller Skates and Pinwheel Hats
Posted in News March 24th, 2008 by Ellen

I’ve just started a new cartoon series for Choose Your Way Bellevue. It’s part of Bellevue’s Transportation Department, but it’s their Demand Management Program, so it’s all about alternatives to driving your car. Readers write in with their crazy!whimsical! ways to get around, and I make a cartoon out of one of them.

You want me to draw your idea? Write in!

Sound Transit ‘N’ Me
Posted in News March 23rd, 2008 by Ellen

I’ll be doing the public art for the Sound Transit tunnel from the west entrance by SCCC under Broadway, to the station. Yay! I’m not sure what art I’m going to do yet but I’ll come up with something with my signature feel-good flair. “Keep it edgy!” my friends remind me. But will Big Fuckin’ Hands or naked ladies pass through the committee processes??

(Here is a “sample of my public work” for my Sound Transit interview, courtesy of Photoshop.)
