There’s a New Ann in Town.Take a look at a few snaps from our Michigan Avenue concept store opening! Our hosts, including Chicago Social and Step Up Women’s Network, were on hand to help us celebrate our new space - chic and inviting, inspired by a stylish contemporary home. Our bright, modern Spring collection and luxe styling rooms provided the perfect backdrop for the night.
KUS! n°9, Baltic Comics Magazine, collectif
Format A6, 164 pages, publié par Biedriba Grafiskie stästi, novembre 2011
Une fois n’est pas coutume, sacrifions aujourd’hui à l’actualité brûlante, à savoir le récent palmarès d’Angoulême, et saluons cette extraordinaire revue lettone qui vient d’y remporter le prix “Bande Dessinée Alternative”. 164 pages en couleurs regroupant 27 femmes , auteurs, peintres, graphistes, illustratrices de tout horizon (Lettonie, Lituanie, USA, Suisse, Allemagne, Italie, Pologne, Mexique, Canada, Chine) planchant autour du thème “Female Secrets”… de la variété des graphismes et des écritures se dégage une étonnante homogénéité, due certainement à la tonalité intimiste des histoires. Difficile à trouver en France, mis à part chez quelques libraires pointus ou quelque part sur le web. Il faudra attendre le prochain Angoulême pour découvrir l’ensemble des publications de Kus! puisque chaque lauréat se voit attribuer gratuitement stand et déplacement lors de l’édition suivante.
(BB)Thanks you very much for the nice mention! Kuš! is indeed difficult to find in shops, but some got it, which ones you can find here http://komikss.lv/shop/, and if there isn’t one near you, you can also order it here http://komikss.lv/books/. Looking forward to meet you in Angouleme!
Chuck will be doing a comic for Retrofit later this year…
If you liked Chuck in Mome, buy his new minicomic (and vice versa).
Hello everybody. I somehow managed to pull together another issue of my mini comic, The End of the Fucking World. This is part four in which not much happens but as Melissa put it, this is kind of a romantic issue. I hadn’t planned that but that’s perfect for February. I put Hank Williams on the cover because he is great.
Melissa Mendes was very nice to do a special drawing for this issue. It’s the pretty one above of the kids dancing. Melissa has been posting tons of her Freddy trips on her tumblr lately. Follow them. Feel like a kid.
These comics are only a dollar. You can order them from me or get them at comic book stores that carry this sort of thing like Atomic books, Jim Hanleys, Bergen St Comics, Comix Experience, Tate’s Comics, Fantastic Comics, Chicago Comics, Dr. Comics and Mr. Games, Quimby’s and probably some others.
If you own a shop and would like to carry these comics then contact my whole sale guy Tony Shenton.
In other news, my hands are freezing.
NEW
Happy New Year guys :)

Aside from CvsH, I have new comic/blog! It’s called Lemonade Swimming Pool. The title comes from a story I told when I was a child, and the comic is about growing up.
I have about 3 comics uploaded at the moment and I think I’ll be updating it once a week or so. I’ll be posting updates in FB, Twitter and G+ :)
Thanks for reading! xo
