This weekend — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — I’m at the Phoenix Comicon in Arizona! I’ll be at the TopatoCo booth. Look for the GIANT YELLOW ORB.

Here are some Roll-a-Sketches from last weekend at Maker Faire!

PLATYPUS + MARIO + CLOWN + HAMBURGER:

PIRANHA + ICE CREAM:

Thanks to all who said hello at Maker Faire! And a PRE-EMPTIVE HELLO to those of you YET TO COME in Phoenix!

Here are a couple of the many Roll-a-Sketches I did in Toronto last week! Thanks to everyone who came by the table, it was a great reminder of why I do that show every year. Everybody’s so nice and it’s such a neat environment for art and friends!

OSTRICH + AIRPLANE + CAVEMAN + HELICOPTER:

RHINO + ICE CREAM + CAVEMAN + COWBOY:

CACTUS + TOASTER:

Would you like a Roll-a-Sketch of your very own?? THIS WEEKEND I will be returning to the Bay Area Maker Faire in San Mateo! The show is Saturday and Sunday, May 18-19.

I’ll have a booth in the Bazaar Bizarre section, right next to my old pal Chris Yates (handmade puzzle crafter extraordinaire).

BONUS VIDEOS: The last time I was at Maker Faire, two years ago, I recorded a video journal of the drive up and back! Full of HIGH DRAMA and BURRITOS and THE TERRIFYING SPECTER OF FATIGUE. If you’ve ever wanted to see a lot of me in sunglasses, YOU’RE IN LUCK.

I re-watched these videos tonight and the whole thing seems like just yesterday. But it was TWO YEARS AGO. I don’t even KNOW.

I’m heading back to Ol’ Miss (Toronto, of course) for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival this weekend!

On Saturday at 1:30 PM, Ryan North and I will be hosting a Machine of Death drawing game panel, featuring Meredith Gran, KC Green, Carly Monardo and Christopher Hastings!

( Here is the blurb on the TCAF website with info about the venue )

TCAF is one of my favorite shows, not least because it’s FREE to attend. Come on up to the Toronto Reference Library and say hello! I’ll be on the second floor.

HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME WE DID THIS PANEL

“Two Chips” by Adam Patch. [Video link]

“My wife drank a bottle of wine, then wanted to tell me a joke.”

“Finally my 2nd Calarts film is completed! I wanted to make something that focuses on how meaningful it is to make food for someone you love.”

I LOVE THESE BOTH

Here are a few of the Roll-a-Sketch drawings I did in Calgary over the weekend! First up, PIRANHA + CAVEMAN:
