MANO NO IKAN

We spent all week in comic-making workshops @ Gembel Art Collective here in Dili, Timor-Leste... The young folks in my class worked really hard to complete this story about a sad rooster & a happy fish! Probably East Timor's first ever all-original comic zine! Photocopy + spray-paint stenciled covers. Have a read-thru here... It's in Tetum w/ English subtitles. Great job, y'all!

CRUMMY CARDBOARD COMIC!

"I hitch-hiked from the east coast to the west coast (of Florida)... and all you got was this crummy cardboard comic!"

Little portraits & vignettes of each spontaneous chauffeur, drawn on the backs of my destination signs. Rollerball + sharpie + white-out + duct tape + cardboard. This particular adventure actually happened a few years back; I just got around to assembling the art now.

I have met some of the most interesting people while hitch-hiking...

MERRY CHARLIEBROWNSMAS!

The infamous Brothers Nylon covered this classic Vince Guaraldi tune for their new "Dubcember" holidays album, and I happened to have sung the vocal for it. Enjoy the glorious public-access TV style video... Kinda brings me back to my roots! You can also check out the whole album here.

BLESS YOUR SOLSTICE

Bless Your So(u)lstice! There are more than enough Christmas songs... How about a Winter Solstice song? The Auroratones (that's my friends & I) just finished one of our very own... Here it is. It even has a nifty real-time "making-of" video, complete with sing-along / strum-along lyrics & chords... ENJOY! PS: I love you & i hope that you & yours are healthy & safe on this longest night of the year. XO Ivan
