Today I started production on my new project, tentatively called
NYC Graphic Novelists. Anyone who knows me knows that my first love is comic books, so this project will be about the creators behind them. I plan to include 30 of the most important independent graphic novelists in NYC and create a series of portraits of them. Additionally, I will be filming interviews with them for a film and collecting pieces of their original work to go beside their portraits in a book and in an exhibition.
The first session went great. I started with
Dean Haspiel, who has generously agreed to advise me on this project. Dean is someone whose work I've admired for years, so I'm thrilled to be working with him. Check out some of his books -
American Splendor, Billy Dogma, The Quitter and The Alcoholic. We did the shoot on the rooftop of the Gowanus building which houses his studio,
Deep Six.
I'll be posting more images and info on this project soon.

Can I NOT be on a rooftop looking like a Pillock?
The gods look angry.
Nice.
Very awesome, bro!
I never realized that Dean's club foot was that big
I was afraid it would be transplants, but nice job starting it off with Dean.
That's the way I always picture Dean.
I almost didn't recognize Dean in a buttoned-down shirt!
That's some serious Haspiel you got there. This project is a great idea!
