I am the writer/artist of the nonfiction graphic novel A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge (Pantheon). Most recently, I illustrated the bestselling graphic nonfiction book The Influencing Machine: Brooke Gladstone on the Media (W.W. Norton).
Other work of mine includes the Xeric Award-winning graphic travelogue A Few Perfect Hours (and Other Stories from Southeast Asia & Central Europe), and the series The Vagabonds. With writer R. Walker, I co-created the one-shot comic Titans of Finance: True Stories of Money & Business. With Dean Haspiel, I co-created the two-man anthology Keyhole. My illustrations have appeared in such publications as the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal.
I have spoken and given presentations at universities, schools, cultural centers, libraries, museums, and professional conventions, and have been featured on C-SPAN2's Book TV. As part of the U.S. Department of State's Speaker and Specialist program, I have traveled abroad as a “cultural ambassador,” meeting local cartoonists and conducting workshops in such countries as Burma, Egypt, Algeria, Bahrain, and Israel/Palestine.
In 2012–2013, I will be a Knight-Wallace Fellow in journalism at the University of Michigan.
