I apologize to all my readers out there for not updating the blog on its usual day of Saturday. I’m back in New York at present for a personal visit as well as to visit Carmine Street Comics, one of the shops that carries my work.
Located at 34 Carmine Street in the West Village of New York City, this independent comic shop is operated and owned (in part) by Jon Gorga.
There he is – the big man himself. I arrived earlier at the store, but didn’t find Jon there. I encountered Tom Gambino there, whom I follow on Twitter. We chatted for a bit and I was informed that Jon would be showing up around 1:00pm.
I left, wandered around for a bit, had lunch, and then returned. I chatted with Jon for a while, signed one copy of my book he had in stock, and explained my plans for the future.
I plan to return to New York for Christmas and was even talking with Jon about taking part in the storefront artist program. We’ll have to see what happens.
In the meantime, make sure you stop by Carmine Street Comics today!

Tell them that Max West sent you. Be sure to buy comics and trade paperbacks from them, including my own Sunnyville Stories Volume 1! They do have a signed copy of my book in stock!

I love the inside of that shop! It reminds me of my studio. Kinda.
Yes, it is a small store – it’s small enough that it shares space with a bookstore.
If you ever make it to NYC, I recommend visiting at least once and chatting with Jon Gorga.
