Hello It's Me

[ejbarnes]

I neglected to post the link to this interview some weeks back, when my NYC colleagues Michele Witchipoo first posted it. She interviewed me at the end of MICE 2019; she’d been staying with me during the show. So now I’m in the august company of Diane Noomin and Jaime Hernandez.

Freelance Tax Class Thurs 2/27 & Various Sundries

If you’re a freelancer in the NYC area, please go to my DO FREELANCE TAXES EASIER class! It’s coming up this Thursday, February 27th, from 3p-4:30p at Caffeine Underground in Bushwick. I’ve been getting materials together for my OWN taxes as well during this time, so I’m right there in the trenches with you on the tax journey! You’ll probably save more $ in deductions (& knowledge!) than you’ll spend on this class, which is only $25 via Eventbrite or $30 walk-in. Feel free to spread the word to your friends who don’t know where to begin on their freelance taxes.

In other news, spring is almost here (or is it here now? I saw flowers while jogging in the park yesterday) and that means MoCCA Fest is approaching! I’m tabling there with my friend ToughSpirit Creations again. This is the first comic convention I’m exhibiting at this year - last year I did a bunch of small ones early in the year. I’ve decided to participate in less conventions this year for various reasons. While it’s great to exhibit in conventions large and small, I’d like to take a different approach and focus on growing my audience more online rather than in-person. It’s an experiment - we’ll see how it pans out.

In other OTHER news, my friend Michele Witchipoo recently released a bunch of episodes of her podcast, Comic Book Convo W/ Michele! This may be the most comprehensive interview I’ve had, as Michele asks me about everything from my Kickstarter to the No Tears web comic to my zines.

Take care & enjoy!

Still Here!

Quick update!

Hello. It’s been a while since last posted. I’ll make this brief – a lot has happened since Feb 2021. In a few weeks I’ll fire up this blog again. I’ve done a bit of traveling since 2021. On my last trip, I visited a lot of museuems, took in some art. Below is an example. The photo is from a visit to Musuem De Reede, in Antwerpt, Belgium. A lithograph of Edvard Munch’s ‘The Scream’. The Scream…

Like everyone else, my introduction to Numancame through his classic album The Pleasure Principle. It’s an album I still play to this day. Mixing dystoptian influences with new wave sounds, Numan had an…
