New website will be up shortly!

Sadly, Blogger was never meant to be a semi-permanent website to host my work. And yet, it's served that function for the past 4 1/2 years as I've uploaded numerous comics, paintings, and articles from time to time (though admittedly not as frequent as I should be).

That will be changing with a newly updated website that will streamline a lot of my content for viewing. As such, this blog may or may not be continuing from this point forward. If there is no update beyond this point, assume the latter.

Expect the move to take place in the next few days, but for now you can see the new site at http://erikthurmanblog.wixsite.com/erikthurmancomics.

Myanmar's Rohingya Refugees comics journalism up on The Nib

Earlier this year, I went to India to investigate one of the largest exodus of refugees of our times, where the Rohingya Muslim minority of West Myanmar (Burma) are escaping genocide from their ancestral homeland in Rakhine state.

And now that Nobel-laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and her Party have ushered democracy into the Southeast Asian country, is a path to peace finally in sight?

Or will the new Myanmar government continue to turn its back to ethnic cleansing?

New comics journalism by mine is finally up on the rebooted Nib. Click the image on the left to be taken there.

Chile. June 2017. It’s happening.

Thanks everyone for coming out on Sunday a couple weekends ago for BBQ! It means a lot to share good food and drinks to mark my 5^th year anniversary away from the USA. Definitely had a great time with you all!

So a lot of you might have known that I’ve been making plans to go to South America for some time. But this is the first time I'm announcing a hard date.

Chile is finally going to happen exactly one year from now.
