Tatiana Gill’s Blog of Wax

From David Lasky’s blog:

There is an article in today’s Seattle Times about an educational comic I drew about the 1918 flu pandemic, and how to prepare for a new flu pandemic.  They reproduced a page from the comic, which I pencilled and Lin Lucas inked. 
I’m glad the word is getting out about this.  Flu preparedness can save lives.

The comic book is free from King County Public Health and can be ordered  (or read online) via this link…

This Friday I ventured out to Ballard for my first formal Drink n’ Draw (the third such even in Seattle). I met Calamity John and Adam Watson, saw my pals Dalton Webb and Scott Faulkner, and a few other nice and funny peeps. I ate a burger with goat cheese and beet relish (Adam talked me into it and it was quite good!). Everyone was really good, we drew many awesome jams and I drew an illo I liked, we made endless Batman jokes and all in all a great time was had. I will be darkening the Drink n Draw doorstep in the future!

 Also, everyone was stoked for the Seattle Dr. Sketchy’s happening tonight - I can’t make it but for sure I wanna go to the next one!

Steve Schofield is a British photographer who takes pix of complex fan costumes (calling it the British fasicnation with American Pop Culture), worn by British fans, in their living rooms. The result is mind-blowing, impressive, and pretty funny.

The Friends of the Nib was contacted to complete a mural on a soon to be demolished Jack in the Box on Capitol Hill. The project was for Sound Transit and they wanted to spruce up some buildings that will be standing empty for 8 months until they tore them down to build a train tunnel in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle. Within less than a week the murals were being slashed off the walls and stolen off into the night.

On my way home from work, I bumped into the incredible Ellen Forney, one of my fave artists evar and hands down my favorite local artist (I even helped build her website some back in the day).

She has been comissioned to do the Capitol Hill light rail station murals!! OMG OMG. How cool is that? I’ve never been prouder to be a denzien of my city.

And I’m truly amazed at how in the span of time I’ve known her, she’s gone from fringe art, indie art, the cartoonist making a living on comic strips and spot illustrations, into being an undisputed and cherished local hero and creator of public works. But Capitol Hill knew that all along.

From Damon’s Blog:

I’m going to be exhibiting at the MoCCA Art Festival this weekend for the 6th year in a row. I’ve been at MoCCA every year since it’s inception and it remains my favorite show to this day.

I’ll be selling copies of my latest book, PICTURES OF YOU, which was written by myself and drawn by series co-creator Tatiana Gill. PICTURES OF YOU is the second book in a three book series that we’ve been calling the “Cure Trilogy” I’ll also have copies of some of my other recent books like A STRANGE DAY, THE WHITE ELEPHANT, and TEMPORARY.

The show runs Saturday, June 7 - Sunday, June 8 from 11am-6pm each day. I will be setup at table A45 in the “big room” alongside my good friend Pete Stathis who will be selling copies of his EVENFALL series, which he has recently been streaming online at his website.

Here’s a couple illos I’ve been doing for friends:
