All the Living (Fantagraphics, 2025)
The English version of Tous Les Vivants, finally coming out this year, with some small revisions, and printed on unglossy paper.
Tous Les Vivants (Dargaud, 2023)
Depressive pandemic mental breakdown book. Has some pretty pages, at least. Partly conceived as an attempt to revisit the themes of my awful first book, for some reason.
Yield to Partial Elation (jjok press, 2020)
Vague and unfulfilling. A few stabs in the direction of unifying influences from manga and abstract art, which found better expression in the next book.
Les Aventures de Munich dans Marcel Duchamp (Dargaud, 2019)
Good story, writing could’ve been tighter. Some nice drawings. Has since been heavilyE edited for the English version, which has been ‘forthcoming’ from Uncivilized Books for years. Harass the publisher if you want it.
Vanishing Act (Fantagraphics Books, 2018)
Decent idea, ruined by overwriting and terrible execution. A couple of nice pages, but overall a complete mess. Deeply ashamed of this book, because by that point in my life I should’ve known better. Geriatric juvenilia of sorts.
On Doing Nothing (Chronicle Books, 2018)
Could’ve been a nice little nonfiction book, but it got edited and presented to read like one of these pocket-size gift books. Idiotic clash of cutesy illustrations and obscure art references. Can be easily found in libraries and pirate sites, do not buy.
Resident Lover (Kuš, 2018)
Relatively decent, aged better than other work from this time because of the minimalist digital style. Probably my best pre-2020 book.
Jacob Bladders and the State of the Art (Uncivilized Books, 2016)
Hysterically over-drawn and burdened with grating wordplay. Has a couple of nice panels, and the design is still solid, otherwise it is in keeping with my very annoying early work.
Aujourd'hui Demain Hier (Dargaud, 2016)
A French collection of the first 3-4 books and shorter comics. A mixed bag to say the least, best avoided.
The End of A Fence (Kuš, 2015)
Once again, good premise ruined by over-wrought execution. Exhausting amounts of wordplay that serves no purpose other than trying to cover the fact that my English at the time wasn’t up to the task.
(In A Sense) Lost & Found (Nobrow Press, 2014)
Awful first book. Contains all the trappings you’d expect, and none of the youthful energy that might redeem them. Needlessly flashy drawings, and bad printing to top it up. Avoid.

The assesments are revised on a daily basis as part of my artistic penance.
