Jim Ottaviani is the writer and all-round mastermind behind G.T. Labs, which boasts a fine library of biographical and historical fiction comics about scientists. A new one is in the works. His blog is well worth a read, too.

A Return to Forum

MSUCFheaderAnnouncing a new addition to the schedule: I’ll be participating in the Artists’ Alley of the 2014 MSU Comics Forum in Lansing, MI this February 22nd. The forum actually kicks off on Friday the 21st with keynote speaker Stan Sakai, so come both days if you can!

I haven’t set up in Artist’s Alley for this show in a couple of years and I’m looking forward to coming back. I’ll have minicomics which haven’t shown there before; including, if all goes according to plan, a brand new comic (the first in a brand new series)! Things are brewing here at Fridge-Mag HQ. More news soon.

He’s currently working on a third comic about his daughter, Emily (the previous two being Springtime For Autism and Summer of Nove). “It should be ready by this time next year,” he says, “and I hope to do an animated music video for my girlfriend after that. Or alongside it!”
