Hey, check out our awesome exhibitors list and get excited about all the amazing artists who will be coming to Bellingham for BellCAF on March 31st!
Leading up to the festival, keep an eye on our blog as we will be spotlighting these amazing creators who will be coming to BellCAF to share their work. Get excited for this show!!!
There are those who think that autobiographical comics are essentially over and done with, and in darker moments of my past I confess to having perhaps felt that way myself, but in recent years cartoonists such as Noah Van Sciver, November Garcia, Mimi Pond, and Max Clotfelter — to name just a few — have done much to re-invigorate a genre that, for many years, Gabrielle Bell and John Porcellino were essentially carrying on their shoulders after the ’90s autobio boom went bust. Now, I would suggest, it’s time to add the name of Sarah Romano Diehl to the list of the new wave of illustrators who have found that the most fertile creative ground to exercise their considerable storytelling “chops” on is to be found within their own lives. The Seattle-based Diehl has done some interesting travelogue minis in her time, but with Crust, her new self-published memoir of her days as a pizza-delivery driver, she’s stepped up her game considerably. Like the previously-mentioned Pond, she’s “created”...
Super nice review for Crust by Ryan Carey at Daily Grindhouse!
It’s come time for Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery curator Larry Reid to name my choices for the best comix of past year. This list is customarily limited to the top 10 publications plus a handful of honorable mentions. This being a banner year for contemporary comix, I’ve expanded my subjective selections to an even dozen,...
Crust is mentioned by Larry Reid on the Fantagraphics Bookstore blog as a “must read” from 2017!
New Thick As Thieves issue 3 is out on the streets.Â
More about it at: https://www.facebook.com/thickasthieveszine/?ref=br_rs like where to find them or how to support them on Patreon!Â
We had a great release party the night after Short Run at Mount Analog! Photos of the crew, and of me in the tub.Â
Last image is a panel cropped from my page in TAT. Many awesome artists are involved!
Some pages in Crust.
New book! Pick it up at Short Run Seattle or Comic Arts Brooklyn!
This comic contains 72 panels created by 12 artists, all of which are regular contributors to Thick as Thieves, a Seattle-based comics art...
I’m in this thang. Get one before they’re gone cause there’s a bunch a cool people’s art in here.Â
It’s been a while! Some updates: I got stickers made. The above designs are really nice quality screen printed stickers. I am happy to have them available.Â
Also, I got into Short Run again this year! I’ll be tabling in November and I’ll have a new book. Stay tuned for more updates. I am very excited about it.Â
Hey here’s a new mini comic/zine I made- the cover, and two separate pages. The book is 14 pages total.Â
Join Peter Kuper, Emil Ferris, Barry Deutsch, Sarah Romano Diehl, and Taylor Dow for the panel discussion Resist Through Making Comics, this Saturday from 11:30 to 12:30 at the Olympia Comics Festival Expo, at the Olympia Center (222 Columbia St NW)! Seeing all these awesome folks assembled is sure to be great!
Guess What?!! I am on a panel ^!
It's the 2017 Olympia Comics Festival, the Northwest's longest-running alternative comics event! We have a fantastic lineup of Guests Of Honor this year,...

What is your favorite zine of the moment?
My favorite zines of the moment are the Hey Lady collaborations put together by Regina Schilling. I was super stoked to discover them. She features some amazing artists, the style is superb, and they come with a button!
What do you like about Olympia, or if you’ve never been, what are you most looking forward to experiencing outside the fest?
I haven’t been to the city of Olympia for a few years. I am looking forward to stopping in to get a slice of Old School Pizza and seeing my niece and her family.
What makes your zines recognizably yours?
My work is recognizable because my drawings have a fluid, maybe messy style. I often have reoccurring themes of feminism and plant power/mysticism. Humor and playfulness are often my building blocks but I sometimes acknowledge tragedy.
What motivates you to finish a zine?
I’m motivated to finish a zine or comic because having a book to share with others is so deeply satisfying. I am addicted to the whole process, I’ve been making books of different kinds for about 10 years. I have made great friends along the way and that in itself has been worth powering through the creative process.
What is your weather prediction for this year’s fest?
The weather for the fest this year will be reminiscent of fall in every way. I expect the air to smell of decomposing leaves and the north wind.
What workshop are you the most stoked about?
I want to attend the “Disability and Zines” and “How to Win at Zining: Advice from the Pros” most!
I got spotlighted. :) See ya at Olympia Zine Fest!
This last month I printed a new travel/diary/sketchbook zine that debuted at Exterminator City 6. I will be tabling at Olympia Zine Fest October 1st!
Exterminator City 6 comix market at Push/Pull gallery was pretty awesome.Â
