STL SPEX (Joceline): What are your artistic influences?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My comic influences are mostly from the newspaper funny pages\u2013 Bill Watterson, Gary Larson, Jim Davis, Johnny Hart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

STL SPEX: Who do you create for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, I’ve found that if I try to create for a specific audience, I’m inevitably disappointed by the response. But when I create for myself and just put the work out there, it seems to find the audience all by itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

STL SPEX: How did the idea of commemorating legendary drummer, Keith Moon, and satirizing a classic children\u2019s book come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goodnight Keith Moon<\/em><\/a> was born in the haze of sleep deprivation that comes with being a new parent. I was listening to The Who one afternoon, and the previous night’s reading of Goodnight Moon<\/em> was still echoing in my head. And the two suddenly crashed into each other like “what if the moon in Goodnight Moon<\/em> was actually KEITH Moon!!” From there, it just wrote itself…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STL SPEX: What are you currently working on?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And speaking of writing itself, I’m just putting the finishing touches on the tenth chapter of my comic series Woodstalk: 3 Days of Peace, Music, and Zombies<\/em><\/a> about the zombie outbreak at Woodstock in 1969. And my new picture book Homophones Visualized<\/em><\/a> (based on my blog Homophones, Weakly<\/em><\/a>) will be available in September from Chronicle Books! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Black Market Books publishes comics and picture books usually in the comedy (and sometimes science-y) genre .
