SPX debut for DIANA, Sept. 12-13!

More answers, more questions, more moods, more darkness, more bootleg magic gone wrong, more expansive love.

One month until the debut of Diana (and new editions of the rest of the triptych, Come Again and Fall Through— all thanks to Abrams ComicArts) at SPX in Rockville, MD on September 12-13!

I’ll have all of these books, prints, original artwork and more at table W64.

Things to come in 2026.

Most important of all, let’s continue to work individually and collectively to halt the spread of fascism— and to preserve the remains of democracy in our society. Let’s look out for our neighbors— especially the ones we don’t know. Let’s continue fighting back against the immense multifaceted harms of artificial intelligence. Let’s recognize that social media does not provide freedom, real communication, or opportunity— it is not the future — and chart a new course.

I’ve been continuously at work nearly every day for over a year, so here’s a roundup of many things on the horizon in 2026:

I wrote and drew The Twilight Zone #4, which will be out Feb. 4th from IDW. If you live in Indiana, I’ll be doing a signing for its release at Bloomington’s own Vintage Phoenix Comics (114 E. 6th) on Saturday, Feb. 7th from 2-4pm. See you there!

The biggest news is the release of my next graphic novel, Diana, in early fall 2026! Expect an official announcement in a month or so— along with a long-awaited reissue of one of my previous Eisner-nominated books. I’ll be traveling a lot during the fall for the release of Diana, so please write me (seemybrotherdance@yahoo.com) if you’d like me to be a special guest at your comic/book expo— I’m already making plans. Thank you!

In February, I’ll be opening up another ten slots for commissioned artwork via Athenaeum Comic Art— I had a blast doing these last year and really enjoyed drawing the requested subjects! The previous slots were all filled within a day, so don’t sleep on this.

Sometime in 2026 will see the release of Islands In the Sky from the Appalachia Comics Project— I collaborated with Nobel Prize-winning climate scientist Dr. David Easterling on an 8-page story about his experiences and knowledge surrounding Hurricane Helene’s catastrophic hit on his community. You can still preorder one (and get more info) here!

I’ll have an exhibit of my artwork going up in January at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, with an event/talk/signing in April.

Five March pieces of mine currently in the “Imprinted: Illustrating Race” exhibit will be moving to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, TN this spring— stay tuned for the details.

I’ll be doing a volley of events in Cleveland, OH this March 20-21, including a live drawing session as artist-in-residence at the Cleveland Museum of Art, as well as an author event & signing. Stay tuned!

I’m quietly working on a comic with friend and lyrical torchbearer Jonathan Vance from the singularly influential band Moss Icon, and hope to self-publish the first issue in 2026.

That’s all I’ve got— see you out there!

Death to fascism. Light and love to humanity.

"Imprinted: Illustrating Race" exhibition at Delaware Art Museum

I have five pieces of original artwork from the March trilogy on display as a part of the Norman Rockwell Museum’s “Imprinted: Illustrating Race” exhibition at the Delaware Art Museum (2301 Kentmere Parkway, Wilmington DE 19806) from October 18th, 2025 to March 1st, 2026.

"The Long March" mural installation + project with Ben & Jerry's!

IMG_3246.JPG

I’m proud to announce that Chris Ross, Andrew Aydin, Val De Landro, and I have been collaborating with Ben & Jerry’s on a massive 35-foot mural installation at their corporate HQ, documenting the late, great John Lewis’ path through organized, revolutionary nonviolent resistance— using artwork from the March trilogy. This is intertwined with Ben & Jerry’s voter registration and activism efforts, and they’ve been fantastic to work with.

Tune in Tuesday, September 22nd at 7pm EST for their virtual launch of the exhibition!

Bloomington IN: talk/Q&A/art exhibit on February 20th!

Bloomington friends: on Thursday, February 20th (John Lewis’ birthday!), I’ll be giving a talk/Q&A about my work at the I Fell Gallery (415 W. 4th, next to Rainbow Bakery). There will also be a one-night-only exhibit of my original artwork spanning the last two decades!

Here’s a link to the same info on my events page.

7pm, free, all as a part of the Indiana Remixed series. See you there!

(Adding this note here, because I know that a certain local crust-punk with a long history of sexual assault, domestic violence, and physical intimidation keeps tabs on me via the internet: you are not welcome at my events. Ever. Do not show up.)

If you're in the Bay Area, come to the Cartoon Art Museum (781 Beach St., San Francisco) on Friday, February 9th from 7-9 pm for the opening reception of a March original artwork exhibit!
