WELCOME!

WELCOME! This blog is a personal project I started in August 2011 with the goal of drawing and posting an illustrated status message a day - I haven't stopped since. On weekday mornings, I get up, draw a cartoon, and post whatever I can manage to before going to work. I began cartooning to find my voice. Still searching, but I've learned that the attempt is everything. What's your status message today?

A Status Message a Day #76

(I ran out of time to refine this, but I'm trying to work fast and post what I have, even if it's not fully baked.)

Let's talk about race...

This is only a snippet of a larger conversation, but it's a good start. Jeff Chang ("Can't Stop Won't Stop") had this to say last week at an event hosted by the Asian American Writers' Workshop. Check them out! Twitter: @aaww)

The panel's them was "AFTER 1989: Why can't we all just get along?: Integration, Assimilation, and Fantasies of American Society" and also featured Kazembe Balagun, Elizabeth Mendez Berry, Hua Hsu, Hiram Parez, Jay Smooth, and Salamishah Tillet.
