MOCCA - 2012

I should have two new books ready for MoCCA Fest 2012:

The Collectors #1

Over the past couple of years, I have taken a couple of classes at the excellent Center for Contemporary Printmaking in Norwalk, CT. Chris Shore, Associate Printmaker and Workshop Manger at the center, got me thinking about trying to silk screen an entire comic book on one piece of paper. So after finishing the covers to Pulped #1 and #2, I took up the challenge. The result is The Collectors, a 16 page 6" x 7 3/4" comic poking fun at the obsessions of comic book collectors. The uncut page is 24" x 15".

Here's a quick look at the front side of the big newsprint page:

I'm in the midst of printing the back side now. The plan is to have around 50 copies in dark blue/white and 100 copies in dark red/white ready for MoCCA. I'll also do a few on other kinds of paper.

The second book is still brewing so I'll keep a lid on that one until the show, April 28 and 29.
