I will be tabling at the Oregon Coast Comic Con in Tillamook on March 24th & 25th, 2018. It is my first Oregon Comics event and I will be looking forward to displaying my wares.
I will be bringing Squid Row books (1&2), brand new hand drawn pinback buttons (no two are exactly alike!), the MugShots, lots of issues of Art-o-rama (zines), Randie & Ryan prints, and more!
For more info, you can poke around at their official site:
The split art show currently up at Motivasi Coffee has been extended until the end of February. Go for the art, stay for the joe… and the art… and maybe a cookie. 
If you like coffee and art, you might drop by Motivasi Coffee to see Jack Kent‘s Sketchy People Series and my Coffee Fairy collage series. Motivasi Coffee is located at 4502 NE 42nd Ave. in Portland, OR. The folks there are real friendly and they make some amazing coffee. Show starts the second week of January.

We Got Our Drool On!
So my pal Betsy Streeter makes a zine… It is aimed at empowerment. I’m not exactly sure why k-9s are involved… but hey, every dog has its day! Mocha, my pooch of some time ago, is getting HER day on the cover of issue # 8.
If you want a copy, let me know via an email… brig@squidrowcomics.com
… AND why not peruse the updated “Books & Zines” page? You might just see an issue you can’t live without!
I’m sketching into October… everyday in the month of October, I will post on Instagram and Facebook, an inked drawering. Each day of the month has an official prompt on the official Inktober website. So the “word of the day” is interpreted by artists all over the world and uploaded onto social media with the hashtag Inktober and Inktober2017.
So come find me on Instagram (I am brigtoon on Instagram) and on Facebook under my name. Smiles! And I hope you enjoy the silly stuff I come up with!
I just added some back issues of Art-o-rama to the Books & Zines page. If you missed an issue or you need a specific zine for a gift, you can now order them through this website. I’m still adding older back issues (sub #15), so if you don’t see an issue, check back. I am sold out of Love Letters to Ireland #21 and the Sketchbooking issue #24. Zines are $5 each with some shipping and handling. Pictured is one of my favorite issues…
It’s time to do some updating. You’ll be seeing some changes on the site here as I am updating the portfolio page … you can now see more of my work, including the Mug Shots (complete with prices… ). If you see anything on the site that you wish to purchase you can get a hold of me through the contact button. I can do the PayPal… or other options that we can discuss.
After 10 years of living in Salinas where lettuce is king, I have picked up my artist self and moved to Portland, Oregon… where coffee, microbrew, cartooning, books, donuts, gastropubs, bicycles (and more) are king.
Thank you to all of Monterey and Santa Cruz counties for your support and love over the years. 20 years in The Monterey Bay area… I will miss it so… but adventure calls. Love & Hugs.
The Monterey County Weekly (and Walter Ryce) gave me a nice sendoff. Here’s the Artifact blurb.
If you are as upset as I am about how the current president is using our tax money to fund his trips to his Florida resort… moneys that could otherwise be spent on funding PBS or the NEA or Meals on Wheels… then download this “Tell It to HIM” cartoonification and send it off to The Trump White House. ** visit the download/letters link to see more “Tell it to’em” cartoonifications.
