Public Speaking and Presentations

I have given lectures and presentations at universities, schools, cultural centers, libraries, museums, and professional conventions, and have been featured on C-SPAN2's Book TV.
I most often speak about my own work — particularly Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and comics journalism — but am also prepared to speak on the subjects of Harvey Pekar and American Splendor, my new collaborative project The Influencing Machine, autobiography and memoir, taking web projects to print, and other topics.
I accompany my always evolving lectures with a cascade of images — as many as 75 in a single talk. I always leave time for Q&A, which usually results in engaging conversations.
I have also participated in panels and roundtables with other creators, a very interesting and fruitful format.
Though the majority of my presentations are suited for college-age and older audiences, all can be adapted or redesigned to suit individual circumstances.
