    Announcing the beautiful PRESENT by Leslie Stein! In stores this September - head to our website for more info 💚

    Excited to announce I have a new book coming out with Drawn and Quarterly this fall… a collection of short stories, many of which first appeared on VICE…

    Here’s a link to some of the chapters.

    I don’t post too regularly here, so if you’d like more up to date info on my comics and art, follow me here!

     

  2. Anonymous asked: Do you pick your subject matter or are your vice comics commissioned?

    I pick the subject matter and send them in fully finished… Sometimes they get rejected if the editor doesn’t think they are appropriate for vice. Thanks for asking! ❤️

  15. This weekend I’m happy to be a guest at the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo! (CAKE) I’ll be debuting my new EOTMC book Time Clock (available all over at the end of the month) at tables 7 & 8 as well as selling originals drawings.

    Sunday I’ll be conducting a special watercolor/sound experiment workshop…

    1:00–2:00 Sound and Vision: Color with Leslie Stein

    Come explore color with Brooklyn-based artist and musician Leslie Stein, author of Eye of the Majestic Creature and Bright-Eyed at Midnight. Following an introduction to her materials and process, Leslie will demonstrate how she hand colors her drawings, then lead participants through colored pencil and watercolor exercises that show how color can grab readers’ attention and establish control (or lack of control) around a design. Some exercises will incorporate music to investigate how it can affect one’s drawing. Supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your favorite color media for this trip beyond black and white. This workshop is sponsored by Fantagraphics Books.
