SPX and John Porcellino at Desert Island

Just back from SPXPO and I’m exhausted.  Had a great time and wish I could have stayed longer. Thanks to everyone who made it possible. TONIGHT you can come to a celebration of John Porcellino and his works, starting at 7:00 p.m. at Desert Island, 540 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211:


SPXPO

Going to the Small Press Comix Expo (www.spxpo.com) in Bethesda, MD this weekend. Come visit. I have new comics for sale.



Ass For Cash

Help Julia pay her hospital bill this Friday, September 18, 2009. 8:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. Buy her stuff at 282 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211:

so, I have this insanely high hospital bill, because as some of ya’all might know, America hates giving affordable insurance to people like me. The Brooklyn Hospital can suck if they even think I’m paying that whole thing, but I do have to pay most of it so I thought hey, might as well get some fun out of all this. So please join me on Sep. 18th for a night of fart party art on display, medical horror story readings and free cookies. The event is free but if you’re so inclined, all the artwork on display will be for sale.

wanna help but can’t attend? you can always buy something from the store
don’t want goofy comics drawings muckin’ up your walls donations are appreciated as well, click the donation box on the top right corner
I’m also accepting comics panel/art work commissions (no paintings at the moment though) inquires can be sent to juliawertz(at)gmail(dot)com

If the details of the party are too small to read on your screen, go here

and of course, the facebook invite.

Secondly: FCC To Further Investigate Janet Jackson Super Bowl Reveal (5 years after fact, your tax dollars hard at work… Personally, I’d rather have my taxes go towards health care reform then to fund a bunch of perverts’ hobby of studying Janet Jackson’s tit.)
