SUMMER 2008
It's hot as Hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!
I'll be honest: I get a lot of emails and I'm really bad at going through and answering all of them. I try to write back to as many people as I can but seriously I'm really behind and it just gets worse. Here are some FAQ's I get though, to hopefully answer some questions. Almost all of my comics can be found on Khepri.com, even my self-published books. East Coast Rising v.2 is still in the works, it's been on "hold" since this winter. I have 40 more pages left to draw and will hopefully be able to say something about the future of the book in a few weeks. I haven't been talking about it because I'm not sure what was happening with it, and I don't like to speculate or spread rumors. When I know, you will know. Between traveling, conventions, comics and now school looming on the horizon, I don't have much extra time. I don't do personal comissions outside of conventions, and I don't do tattoo designs (even for money, I just don't have the time!) Although if you were looking to get a tattoo of something that I've drawn, be my guest and please, send a photo when it's done.
That about covers it. I really appreciate all the mail I get, and I read all of them. I just can't respond to every single one of them.
As for San Diego (I didn't forget!) I'll be at the Image island, booth 2729, with Vasilis Lolos, Fabio Moon, Gabriel Ba and Rafael Grampa! I have some signings at DC/Vertigo as well, Wed: 8-9pm, Thurs: 1:30-2:30pm, Fri: 11-12pm, Sat: 2:30-4pm and Sun: 12-1:30pm. That about covers it! Don't forget to buy PIXU!!
Also, don't forget about our Post-SDCC PIXU Jam Session!

EAST COAST RISING
By Becky Cloonan
Published by TokyoPop
When his ship is attacked by pirates, Archer is left floating adrift in a violent sea. But the young urchin is nothing if not resilient. He soon finds himself sailing with the infamous Cannonball Joe aboard "La Revancha," the fastest ship on the East Coast, in search of a legendary cache of hidden treasures. Their dangerous quest will lead directly to a showdown with the "Hoboken," one of the most feared pirate vessels ever to sail the Jersey shores, and its reckless captain, Lee. But there are far worse things than pirates that call these waters home...

Becky Cloonan's East Coast Rising takes a decidedly urban approach to the pirate life with a mixture of punk rock, street gangs and a half-submerged wasteland once known as New York... this graphic novel marks the full-length debut of Eisner-nominated artist Cloonan. For longtime fans, it's a book they've heard about for years; for the newcomer, it's an ideal opportunity to discover a cartoonist praised by Entertainment Weekly and the Village Voice as a talent to watch.

How can one of the most exciting and unconventional comic artists on the scene turning her hand to a work marketed as OEL in a high spirited adventure not be a real treat? ...In a work like East Coast Rising brings together the energy of pop energy of comics with a modern and informed look. Like a painting with evident brush strokes, in Cloonan's work the ink lines visual convey the energy of creation in the bold style.

AMERICAN VIRGIN
By Steve T. Seagle and Becky Cloonan.
Published by Vertigo (2006-2008)
Adam Chamberlain is a 20-year-old youth minister, a best-selling author, and most important, the head of a rabid national virginity movement. But practicing virgin or not, Adam is about to lose it when his girlfriend is killed.
--
Spiritual and grungy, a wholly original piece of work... It takes religion, a subject usually approached in pop culture with either bloodless piety or tiresome blasphemy, and gives the matter some hard, honest thought.
