Just in time for Valentine’s Day, I am very pleased to be contributing in a small way to a very cool and important project which debuts today. The image above is being used by Love Under Apartheid, a place where Palestinians tell their stories of how Israeli policies of separation have affected them and their families . Keep reading to see the bittersweet tragicomic introductory video for the project…
One of my most widely-seen comics at this point is “Why Do I Boycott Israel,” created for Peter Kuper’s class at SVA but used broadly as a flyer by the Boycott, Divest, & Sanctions movement. Now, thanks to Adalah-NY, I have had the opportunity to color this comic and print it in color. After the jump, the complete color comic!

Once, I was asked to do a number of sketches illustrating the idea of a woman’s companionship with a chicken. These were rough sketches to try out for a job. They also represent some of my earliest attempts at coloring on a computer. I didn’t get the job, but I always thought these were funny drawings, or at least the basis for funny drawings to come.
Three more after the jump!
