Residence dates:
From 20 to 22 june 2011 Josh Neufeld (born in 1967 in New York City) is an alternative cartoonist known for his fact-based comics on subjects like Hurricane Katrina, international travel and finance, as well as his collaborations with writers like Harvey Pekar and David Greenberger.
Neufeld was awarded a 2004 grant from the Xeric Foundation for his graphic novel, A Few Perfect Hours (and Other Stories From Southeast Asia & Central Europe), a collection of real-life stories about his travel experiences. He is the creator of the comic book series The Vagabonds (published by Alternative Comics), and co-creator (with high school friend Dean Haspiel) of Keyhole (Millennium/Modern and Top Shelf Productions) and (with R. Walker) Titans of Finance: True Tales of Money and Business (Alternative Comics). In 2005, shortly after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, he spent three weeks as an American Red Cross volunteer in Mississippi. The blog he kept about that experience turned into a self-published book, Katrina Came Calling (2006). In 2007–2008, Neufeld wrote and drew A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge, an online graphic novel serialized on SMITH Magazine. More info on Josh Neufeld |
