Permanent Press is a graphic novel adaptation and combination of his stories The Unofficial Cuckoo’s Nest Study Companion and The Big and Small. Through it, he explores themes of art and existence through worlds of words and numbers. The Unofficial Cuckoo’s Nest Study Companion was nominated for both and Ignatz and the Slate Cartoonist Studio Prize.
DCAF is a quarterly show celebrating small press comics. To the organizers of DCAF, small press means creator-owned, independent comics, including everything from self-published, photocopied zines to professionally printed graphic novels such as Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Avery Hill Publishing is the sponsor for the April 2018 show.
