The transition to mainly working from home this month was pretty brutal! I have since switched to coworking away from home as much as possible.
***
Two pieces of info! One: my bilingual (French/German) comics workshop has been moved to Saturday, July 4 at Raum B and there are still spots available! Two: if you like what I do and you want to help me pay my Netflix coworking bills every month, I have a Patreon campaign for the comics on this blog! All the details are right here.
I've had deserts on the brain lately: deserts where chem teachers cook meth, deserts that get driven through by postapocalyptic death rigs, deserts irrigated by humans who now face severe drought. So I drew this and played around with colors again. Oh, by the way - the new Mad Max? I finally went to see it, and it melted my face off. In a good way.
Expected more of the sunshine daydream pastel colors from last week? Heh.
If you're in Berlin this weekend, be sure to stop by the Expat Markt off Mehringdamm this Sunday! I will be tabling there from 12PM to 6PM and selling comics, postcards and doing small commissions. Come by! Bring your hangovers.
It wasn't a cute French one, that's for sure - since I don't have one?

I was on German radio this Sunday! Hear me talk about autobio comics, faith, my upcoming Franco-German comics workshop at Raum B, what brought me to Berlin and what made me stay, beginning at 44:44, right here (uff Deutsch).
Hey! I'm doing a Franco-German comics workshop on June 18 at Raum B in Neukölln! Spots are limited, details here (in French and German, like the workshop).
My friend Remus is what you might call a joke cookie (Scherzkeks), if you were German. Ask him about his puns (or, y'know, don't?). P.S. London! You never cease to fascinate! Also you are exhausting! But only because you never cease to fascinate! So it's a good thing!
Tabling at cons is extremely rewarding and one of my favorite parts of this gig - but it can be rough on your system! Monitoring your needs for nourishment is key. I'm off to London this weekend! Yeehaw!
I’ve met a freakishly high number of people in and around Berlin who know that the Central Valley is a thing.

Berlin! Comic Invasion was insane. So many people came out to the show - in fact the floor was non-stop full until nearly 7 on Sunday - and you all bought so much, it was amazing! Thanks to everyone who came by, grabbed some minicomics, bought sketches and prints, gave me cool things, watched me do my beer o'clock dance and simply said hi! Looking forward to #5 next year.
