Secret Identity
Secret Identity: Asian Americans in Comics, originally uploaded by nyaafilmfest.
My alter ego has been compromised! It's true, despite all my recent posts of film and fashion sketches, I am at heart a comic book illustrator.
It's been almost a year since BREAKING UP was released, and I've only done a couple short comics-type things since then, but I do have quite a few things lined up for 2008. Unfortunately, I cannot release any specific information on these projects yet, but what I have on deck: two interesting anthology shorts, a one-shot super-hero thing, and a big surprise. Of my own. Of which I am writing as well as illustrating.
In the meantime, I will post as ever, my "matinee" sketches, random doodling, and the growing pile of mugshots of me. Including these from the 30th Anniversary Asian American Film Festival: SECRET IDENTITIES, comic book panel moderated by the charming Greg Pak, where we discussed the Asian American impact in comics and film.
(L-R) Jeff Yang, Pornsak Pichetshote, Christine Norrie, Larry Hama, Jennifer Lee, and Greg PakIllustrious co-panelists.
Talking about seven years as a comics professional!
Jenny turns a blind eye as I contemplate biting Elim Mak's noggin.

Look how serious you look in that photo! (two up) Those teeth are practically going "grrrrrrrrr..."
Seven years in comics will do that to anyone. (even though I'm totally looking forward to your "secret" new project!)
so that's where pornsak has been at? he said he had "jury duty"...wtf?!
awww. Larry Hama looks like a cute old man!
I'm so VERY serious! I might be growling in that shot because I'd been getting agitated all summer long by audience questions on lettering... and how I prefer hand-lettering over digital.
Larry Hama is not only cute, but he's kinda sexy. Pornsak and I went over to his gorgeous Tribeca loft for dinner a few weeks ago and were blown away by his old school stories of the comics world in 1970's New York!
