Out Now!

The Twilight of the Bums, written by Raymond Federman and George Chambers and illustrated by Mot, is now available from Starcherone Books

The first collection of Aline The Alien stories, backed with Lonnie Allen's Wonder World, is now available from the Squid Works.

The fall issue of Backwards City Review, a literary anthology, opens with three of Mot's short comic stories. Mot also has short comics in Mapjam #1 and Not My Small Diary #13. The Eisner-nominated compilation 24 Hour Comics Day 2005 includes a 16 page piece by Mot titled "The Gaiman Variations."

Mot's pinup illustrations have appeared recently in SubCulture #3, Betty Paginated, Maximum Traffic's White Buffalo Gazette, and __ Are Always Fun To Draw.

True Fiction #6 is a substantial collection of Mot's Hector strips starring the characters Wilhelmina, Hector, and "aRT." Heath Row from Poopsheet gives it two thumbs up: "This 28-page sideways digest – a format more creators should experiment with – largely features one-page gag strips, many quite complex. Given the quality of the strips, it's no surprise that some of the comics collected previously appeared in publications such as Exquisite Corpse, Rocktober, Snicker, the Stranger, and White Buffalo Gazette. Good, good stuff. Great, even! Motley's got the Motts."

Big ideas in small packages: Froggy's Problem is a recent minicomic that takes the form of a sorites paradox. Another mini, Damn Weird #23, a collaboration with obscuro cartoonist Buzz Buzzizyk, is actually weirder than the title suggests.

Coming Soon!

Want more Mot? He's got MySpace and ComicSpace pages, a portfolio on iFreelance.com, some of his constrained comics can be found at Oubapo-America here and here, and his wife has a blog in which she muses about their recent relocation to Brooklyn, New York.
