Book Signing at the Gulledge House

Over the holiday weekend I had a Page by Paige book signing party at my parents' house in Woodbridge, Virginia! (All the photos are on Flickr)


There were some blasts from the past! Such as color guard friends from the JMU marching band...

Fellow survivors of Osbourn Park High School.

Another former Kappa Pi (art fraternity) president.

As well as neighbors and friends of the family.

And we made some NEW friends as well.

We gave out door prizes and goody bags, and I signed books of course.


Thank you everyone for coming out! And a big-whopping-extra-super-sized thank you to my family for hosting and feeding and photographing everyone so wonderfully! (Mom and Brian made the food, Dad took the pics) THANK YOU!


Now I'm headed back to New York! In the fall when school is back in session I'll be lining up some Page by Paige events/workshops here in Virginia, so stay tuned!

Kids CC Recap/ Launch Party Next Week!

*KIDS COMIC CON*

This past weekend I trekked up to the Bronx to take part in Kids Comic Con! I did a small workshop, and the fact that everyone left with some new drawing ideas inspired by MY process made me very happy. (Hooray thinking in metaphors!) I also had some great conversations with other comic artists, such as Raina Telgemeier and Yuko Ota.



*PAGE BY PAIGE - BOOK LAUNCH PARTY*

It's time to say THANK YOU for all you folks who have supported/ encouraged/ inspired me while making this book come to life! (If you can't make it, don't fret! I'll be doing a bunch of workshops at different NYC bookstores over the next month.)

Sunday, May 1st
Powerhouse Books
37 Main Street (DUMBO) Brooklyn, NY
Facebook Event

4:00-5:00
There will be a short reading and then a live musical performance by glockenspiel-yielding-quirky-rapper Alyson Greenfield! She's writing an original song just for the occasion. Don’t be late or you won’t receive a raffle ticket for some goodies...including an original DRAWING from the book!

5:00-6:00
We'll finish the formal stuff and hang out....You can have a Paige-inspired block print stamped on you by a cigarette girl, nibble on light refreshments, snag freebies, and have your fill-in-the-voice-bubble cartoon portrait taken! And of course I'll be signing copies of the book.

After 6:00ish
We'll either head across the street into Brooklyn Bridge Park for the best waterside view of Manhattan OR we'll head over to Rebar for drinks. (Depending on the weather and what folks are in the mood for.)
