Dan Goldman — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:56:09 +0000

Starting today, I’m writing a series of nonfiction “gringo-in-Brazil stories” for the Brooklyn-filtered literary salon TRIP CITY called TOUCANNUÍ, based on my adventures chasing the “global digital creative dream” way down south in Brazil. The first chapter “Dead Yorkie” is live right now for your reading pleasure:

A quick bloggity-doodle here to let you know I’ve been featured by Taschen Books as one of 150 illustrators in the new ILLUSTRATION NOW! 4. The level of work inside is seriously staggering and inspiring, and somewhere in this fat delicious tome is work by lil’ ol’ me:

Talking with Michael Moore for Inaugural TRIP CITY Podcast

Dan Goldman — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 18:36:44 +0000

A few weeks back I was in NYC and I some truly golden hours of hang-time at Hang Dai Studio, a not-just-comics shared studio started by Dean Haspiel that just happens to be above Brooklyn Book Court. While there, I bumped into their events honcho Zack Zook, who I know from my “08″ reading I did a few years ago there; Zack was talking passionately about what was happening in Zuccotti Park for just a few weeks, the thing that became #OccupyWallStreet and continues to spread. I was the only person interested and we bounced to the site with Zack that afternoon to catch Naomi Klein speaking to the occupiers. It was electric, from the buzzing negative-energy barrier of the NYPD at the entrance to the amplification-by-refrain of the meetings. Something was finally happening… and it was starting in New York. As my grandfather used to say, it’s like they rubbed by heart with butter.

I went down to the park a few more times before the Comic-Con hit (the justification for my trip to NYC from Brazil), but after that first visit, I was telling the Hang Dai studiomates how they had to go down there and feel the energy of #OWS themselves. Dean immediately changed the subject to whatever-he’s-working-on and asked if I was interested in interviewing Michael Moore on Friday, as he would be downstairs for a book event. I took a sip of coffee and said of course. A bink and a bonk and it’s Friday; I walk into BookCourt with Dean and Seth Kushner and Seth Kushner’s Cameras and Seth Kushner’s Lights and we meet Moore’s security guards, who are very intense but somehow also very cool and all shared some kind of link via telepathic earpieces. I focused my chi and radiated as much Harmless Bearded Leftist as I could muster. And lo, I got the thumbs-up.

Moore talked to a packed-house about his new book memoir-of-anecdotes, signing books, and found himself staring at us. We sat for about twenty minutes together, talking about the media’s piloting of “the narrative”, #OccupyWallStreet, the death of apathy and my chest hair… the results of which are up at TRIP CITY, a new Brooklynese “cultural salon” with contributors coming from the whole creative spectrum.

On the day of President Obama’s inauguration, this story I did ran on Tor.com. I heard from a handful of people that it wasn’t viewable in Tor’s “fancy new player”, so I’m reposting it here for posterity. Click to begin:

RLP Under One Roof

Dan Goldman — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 12:25:07 +0000

The first volume of my ongoing series RED LIGHT PROPERTIES now lives at the same site as the new stories I’ve been bleeping about. This story ran all last year on Tor.com with a click-through navigation, but my RLP site is a no-frills/just comics affair designed for any bandwidths.

You can access all my Red Light Properties stories to date now
via the RLP Case Files page:

This should tide you hungry-brains over till next week, when the current story “Florida Pain” winds up; I’m finishing it up with my not-typing hand now…
