Dudes and ladies! If you couldn’t make it to ape, my comics are now up in my Etsy store. I’m constantly adding more stuff; my new buttons and prints will be up soon.

APE is a convention for indie/diy publishers. Cartoonists from across the country, proffesional and not, sell their books, crafts, and art. A vast majority of these works are hand-made and not available in stores anywhere; many never see second printings.
This event has been huge influence on me (and every cartoonist I know) for the last 10 years. It was the first show of its kind and still of the largest. I started attending when I was 15 and have been exhibiting for the last 5. This show is comprised almost entirely of artists, not distributors or stores. Often the people selling the books are the artists that drew, wrote, copied and stapled the books themselves.
Even if you would normally not have interest in comics at all, I urge you to come. There is art, crafts, and a varietty of amazing unique hand-mades.
I’ve been working every spare moment to have a slew of cool art for you- I’ll have 3 new books, original paintings, prints, and more. I’ll be at table 531 with pal DocPop. I would really love to see you come to this event that means so much to me.
