This Feed Will Be Decommissioned

Dan Goldman — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 18:14:33 +0000

This is just a quickie note: I’m going to decommission this blog (and the Red Light Properties one) and consolidate everything to my Tumblr to make myself easier to keep track of.

I hope you’ll continue to follow me on Tumblr (I’ll be posting new work there today); you can follow which you can do by clicking the image or via RSS:

Thanks for all the follows over the years; I’m moving back to NYC in a few weeks and a whole new phase is about to begin. Let’s keep it rolling over at the new joint…

Red Light Properties

Dan Goldman — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 06:51:59 +0000

My ongoing Miami real estate comic series, published by Monkeybrain Comics / IDW.

The story of a small family-owned exorcism & realty office on Miami beach, this series balances the supernatural of the Tobins’ workdays with the existential horror of a marriage on the rocks.

Available in English/Spanish/Portuguese for iOS / Android / Windows Mobile / the web.

Editorial Illustration

Dan Goldman — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 06:12:59 +0000

This year, my illustration work was selected by Taschen Books for their ILLUSTRATION NOW! 4 series.

Here are some recent favorites I’ve drawn for clients like TIME, New York Magazine, Bloomberg Business Week and a veritable host of others.

The Walking Dead Social Game

Dan Goldman — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 06:00:26 +0000

Working as Editor and Consulting Writer on AMC Television’s The Walking Dead social game on Facebook gives me the opportunity to form my own original gang of characters and set them loose in the iconic show’s zombie wasteland. Building character arcs and breaking them into gameplay-specific vignettes that try to break your heart as well as scare the shit out of you… it’s been a fantastic workout for my writer muscles to create emotionally-engaging stories in Facebook-friendly bites.

JFK & the Unspeakable

Dan Goldman — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 07:55:58 +0000

Forthcoming comics adaptation of the 2007 nonfiction book JFK & the Unspeakable: How He Died and Why It Matters by James Douglass, the book Oliver Stone called “the best account I have read of this tragedy and its significance.”

Adaptation written by Seth Jacobson and illustrated by myself.
Publisher TBA

Toucannuí: Gringo Tales of Isolation in Urban Brazil

Dan Goldman — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 06:55:27 +0000

In late 2009, I left New York City for Brazil in search of… something else. This serialized travel-memoir is both an attempt to document what I found and a meditation on being a “global digital creative.”

Still a work in progress, as I’m writing this sentence from my bedroom in São Paulo.

The Concrete Shoe Club

Dan Goldman — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 17:29:19 +0000

In celebration of the first anniversary of my pals’ TRIP CITY site, I’ve posted a new prose story there called “The Concrete Shoe Club.” It’s related to the recent flooding of Brooklyn by Hurricane Sandy and that’s all the spoilers you’re gonna get out of me. Read it here:

Terrible Minds Interviews Me (plus a new story)

Dan Goldman — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 16:29:54 +0000

I’ve had the terrific honor of doing one of those “Terrible Minds” interviews at Chuck Wendig’s super writer-resource site. Chuck’s the brilliant author of the brilliant Miriam Black series (which I eats up), and his interviews are designed to get into the specifics of writing and storytelling.

As such, the first question is always: “Tell us a story”… and so I wrote something called “Where It Goes” for the occasion. You can read my interview and the story by making with the clicky-clicky below:

Global Digital Speedbump

Dan Goldman — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 15:14:48 +0000

My reflection on a helluva dream that maybe didn’t work as well as planned (at least not yet), this is where my work-online/live-anywhere idea hits that Global Digital Speedbump, the new chapter of TOUCANNUÍ:

Post-Dictatorship Spending Disorder

Dan Goldman — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 19:06:25 +0000

I’m back in Brazil after two weeks in NYC, and have a new chapter of TOUCANNUÍ to prove it; this one is less memoir and more think-piece, looking at Brazilian’s current shopping fever and some reasons behind it:
