Press and Promotion

Hey there, internet peeps! So, I got me a funky fresh new site here. This semester at Parsons, I have to teach my class to make simple websites that will only take a few weeks to do, so I thought Wordpress would be a good platform for it. As such, I had to learn how to use it myself and figured I might as well overhaul my own site at the same time. The ol' practice what you preach approach.<div class="qodef-more-link-container"><a itemprop="url" href="http://neilswaab.com/new-site/#more-1210" target="_self" class="qodef-btn qodef-btn-medium qodef-btn-solid"> <span class="qodef-btn-text">Continue reading</span> </a></div>

I'll be participating in a panel called, "The Funny Pages: Comedy in Comics" with Lisa Hanawalt, Bob Fingerman, Michael Kuperman, and Emily Flake, and moderated by Alex Zalben this weekend (Saturday, November 6th) at the King Con convention in Brooklyn. <div class="qodef-more-link-container"><a itemprop="url" href="http://neilswaab.com/king-con/#more-87" target="_self" class="qodef-btn qodef-btn-medium qodef-btn-solid"> <span class="qodef-btn-text">Continue reading</span> </a></div>

Heya! So, in the next week and a half, I've got some stuff lined up for my Italian promotional trip. I'll be in Ferrara for the <a href="http://www.internazionale.it/festival/" target="_blank">Internazionale Festival</a>, teaching a workshop on October 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. While I'm in Ferrara, I'll be doing a book signing on Saturday, October 2nd.

I'll be at the Internazionale Festival again this year in Ferrara in early October! This time, though, instead of a talk, I'll be giving a three-day workshop on making comic strips.
