I’ll be at the Toronto Comics Arts Festival this weekend!

It’s my first time in Toronto, and I am EXCITED! Joe Quinones and I will be hanging out at TABLE 216.

Primates isn’t officially out yet, but I have 10 copies of the book that I’m giving away for free. There’s a slight catch; if you want a book, you have to do a little work (I promise that it’s FUN work). Come see me for more info!

I’ll also have a bunch of other stuff (books and prints)!

Tomorrow (Saturday May 4th) is Free Comic Book Day! Joe and I (along with a bunch of other cool comics peeps) are celebrating this joyous occasion at Acme Comics in Greensboro, NC. If you’re in the area, stop by anytime between 10 AM and 5 PM for a free sketch! I’ll also have prints for sale, as well as a preview copy of Primates for you to lay your eyeballz on.

If you’re not in the area, be sure to pick up the Free Spongebob Comic! It’s got a one-page comic about camouflage (by yours truly).

Seems like everyone could use a hug this week. Good thing evolution gave the blue-ringed octopus all those arms.

(Disclaimer: The blue-ringed octopus is venomous. Please do not actually attempt to hug one.)

Here’s a sneaky peek of Primates, courtesy of Boing Boing! It’s got one of my favorite parts from the book; I’ll let you guess which one it is…

In the beginning of Primates, a young Jane Goodall has the opportunity to witness a chicken lay an egg. This moment of observation reveals not just where that egg came from, but the significance of observation itself! So much of the science in Primates is about sitting, and waiting, and looking, and listening, and documenting…and making connections.

Hey everyone, the brand-new hard cover version of “Yes, Let’s” is out today!! Tugboat Press initially released an awesome mini-version of this book in 2010; the new edition is published through Tanglewood Press, and it’s larger and includes some additional illustrations.

Written by Galen Goodwin Longstreth and illustrated by me, “Yes, Let’s” can be purchased at all sorts of places: Powell’s Books, Amazon, or your favorite local book store. If they don’t have it, please ask! The more people asking for “Yes, Let’s”, the more stores will carry it (and I thank you ahead of time).

And since “Yes, Let’s” is all about getting outside, I’m going to go enjoy this glorious Spring weather (while it lasts — I DO live in New England…so, it’ll probably snow tomorrow or something).

Do you use watercolours for some of your pieces? Any particular favorite brands?

Wed, 03 Apr 2013 19:17:25 -0400

oops! Sorry I took so long to respond…I used a Windsor Newton travel set for these, but I’ll use whatever watercolors are lying around. I’m particularly fond of the circular grade school ones.

Happy Birthday, Jane Goodall!

And, in case you want to hear it for yourself: Orangutan long call.

(I went back and did this with the Chimpanzee and Gorillas calls too!)

Gorilla call. Here’s what it sounds like.
