Frédéric Coché, “Infini” (FRMK, 2026)

Will you open the door?

I was very happy to attend and ask exactly one question at this Frédéric Coché event - I think his first ‘long’ interview in English…?? Much of it consists of Coché walking through each of his major works and explaining his whole deal, and it is therefore invaluable to admirers of this artist!

Tuesday's NY Comics Symposium with comics creator Frédéric Coché (L’homme armée, Hortus Sanitatis) was a revelation! Kudos to Austin for his questioning and to Frédéric for his thoughts. The attendees also added a lot to this conversation. #altcomics #FrédéricCoché youtube.com/watch?v=tWyd...

Job hunting in August has proven especially futile so I've been trying to use the extra time to come up with better ways to effectively market/pitch patreon.com/sfultra. Sadly, I keep just making shit like this instead.

I was pleased to assist in proofreading the super-deluxe issue #2 of “dummy,” the editorial project of longtime comics-focused journalist and museum director John Kelly. It’s 92 pages dedicated to a century of artists parodying America’s best friend, Mickey Mouse. Recommended!

Hi, I have a long article up today about Kazuichi Hanawa, artist of grotesque, folkloric, metaphysical comics, sometimes all at once, who’s just had two books published in English: Red Night from Breakdown Press (which the article is mostly about) and Light of the Moon from The Mansion Press. ENJOY.
