Umbrella Black-out has been translated into Chinese

Last October, I went to Hong Kong to cover part of the Umbrella Revolution, hoping to spread a bit more of the reality that was taking place in the protests. And fortunately today, a bit of that message will be able to reach a larger audience now that it's been translated into Chinese.

Been Busy Around the Web

When I'm not storming away at drawing full-length graphic novels or doing investigative pieces in comics journalism, I occasionally type words without pictures.Who would have thought?

I recently did a piece for Rate Your Story about writing for minorities, for non-minorities, that looks at how writers can work to portray stories that aren't theirs more accurately, in order to push towards greater diversity in books. Check it out here, and be sure to keep updated on #WeNeedDiverseBooks on Twitter.

And when you're done with that one, I did a piece for Localiiz in Hong Kong, reflecting on my experience covering the Umbrella Revolution last year. Check that out here.

New comic on The Nib: Umbrella Blackout.

My new comic up on The Nib places a spotlight on the Umbrella Movement to show how governments around the world are increasingly turning to alternative measures in order suppress dissent, beyond resorting to tear gas and rubber bullets.
