Comic artist, writer, punk. East Bay all day.
Blarg Shop opens this Thursday 8/13! Been a minute since I did mail order!
The Planetarium is an all-ages show space tucked away in a former karaoke lounge in Richmond. As someone of West CoCo County origins, I especially love to see people creating scrappy, arty spaces here, where we’ve traditionally had to fight harder for every cool thing.
Finally back in stock (with a new cover!). Read about the first successfully unionized strip club in the country, San Francisco’s legendary Lusty Lady.
2017 Throwback: the cool thing about chemo is when your hair starts to grow back, you will look like the lost member of Sha-Na-Na
What better way to express your devotion than an Oscar the Grouch glory hole? Blarg valentines are in the shop now. Set of 6 valentines for $10, shipped. Venmo janelleblarg with your name and address.
Having a lil pop-up at my (small 😬) studio in Berkeley this Sunday. Drop by!
I recently discovered that “gleeking” wasn’t just a regional term, but an international one?! Did you know?
Mark your calendars! I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be the visiting artist at the Charles Schulz Museum this July. As a lifelong Peanuts fanatic, this feels like a prophecy has been fulfilled. Saturday, July 12, 1pm - 3pm. See you there!
Oakland’s Fairyland is precious in every sense of the word. My take on Humpty will be part of their miniatures display on exhibit at the Oakland Museum, celebrating 75 years of being cute. Opens April 4!
If you only knew how many revisions this goes through every year. File names like “finalfinalFINALv8-brat.tif”
I’m a confirmed bachelor that loves Valentine’s Day. The color scheme and iconography is hella cute, candy, flowers, plus it’s a holiday about getting a bunch of MAIL 📬 which I am all about.
An ode to @fannullona.bsky.social, granny-chaser at large. From my 40th bday art show 2/2/15.
An ode to Barker Gee 😂. From my 40th birthday art show at 1234Go 2/2/15.
How have we strayed so far from Prince’s plan? When he sang about Darling Nikki having “so many devices”, this is not what he wanted for us 🥀
Bluesky is still a little ghost towny for me so far but @stephenking.bsky.social is here so we’re all in the right place. #bangorididntevenknowher
