So, a photo I took of Pet Shop Boys ended up in an exhibition on electronic music at the Science Museum in London.

The title says it all, really. Geoff from the museum contacted me and I was, of course, honored and eager to help out. I can now say my work has been shown in a museum! In London!

I am 37.

I made a little video. You can view it when you click here.

Tonight.

Tonight, instead of giving two tugs of a dead dog’s cock about Andrew Garfield (who seems very nice, yes) appearing at Comic-Con and delivering a (quite good) piece of nerd polemic at the panel for Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man, I saw two women that mean (and will always, hopefully) the world to me, Sarah and Cathy. We talked about our mutual obsessions and interests, our highs and lows, our ins and our outs and most of all, we talked about real connections between people that weren’t based entirely on corporate-owned properties that we’ll never touch.

I am sure Garfield is a very nice young man; I’m sure the people who are making new movies on the things that you liked when you were 9 are decent enough, and I am sure that you don’t care about the stuff that I make, but I just want to say, to reiterate, how very lucky I am to have amazing friends who help me make things that are my own.

No offense, Andrew Garfield or Sony Pictures or director(…wait, who directed this one?) but I am happiest doing what I do, with people that push me and inspire me in ways that I can’t quantify. I just wish all creatives could feel the same way.

(Yes, I’ve been drinking. Suck it.)

Max Riffner drew me and then he drew me punching Hitler.

I got podcasted.

I’m on the new installment of War Rocket Ajax. I am pretty awful. I ramble and digress and just basically make an ass of myself.

You’ll probably really enjoy it.

My only resolution for 2011.

Other people wake up in the gutter after a night of drink.

Me? I come home two weeks later to discover that I actually did buy that limited-edition Human After All remix disc with Kubrick figures of Daft Punk from that guy in Japan while under the influence of a perfectly indecent number of vodka tonics instead of just strongly considering it.

Oops.

Attention: Local Comics Artists. Help kids, get paid.

My friend Jackie works with Young Audiences of Massachusetts and they’re looking for a comics artist/graphic novelist to help them out with their programming. You should have some experience working with students and be interested in working in schools. You’ll also have to be available during the day (as you’ll be visiting area schools,) but they can work around your schedule. Young Audience Of Massachusetts is a good organization doing good work and I think that creators looking to expand their repertoire and earn a little extra bank could do much worse than talking to them about this opportunity. You’d have flexibility, resume fodder, and a chance to help make sure the next generation isn’t the worst generation.

Email jarko@yamass.org to get more information.

I gave in and set up a Tumblr account.

It’s right here. I’m planning on linkblogging there almost exclusively, so don’t expect anything mega.

Bernard Chang.

A bit over four years ago, I wrote this review of How To Make Money Like A Porn Star, a book that I was not kind to. In fact, the sole exception to my fairly nasty screed was a brief portion in which I talked about Bernard Chang’s art, which I said reminded me of a more varied Phil Noto. I also said that I wanted to see him draw comics that weren’t so aggressively stupid. To be frank, Neil Strauss’s misogynistic, mean-spirited script deserved worse than I gave, and Chang’s work deserved more praise than I could muster.

Yesterday, I approached Chang’s table in Artist Alley at the New York Comic-Con and said that I liked what I’d seen from him lately. Chang told me that he wanted to kick my ass and that “if I were you, I’d leave right now.”

Today, Bernard Chang was announced as the new artist on Supergirl, working with Nick Spencer, a writer whose work I’ve very much enjoyed.

Bernard Chang, I hope you treat your peers better than the people who have praised your work in the past.
