Hello! I’m John Weeks, developing innovative fundraising and communication strategies in Southeast Asia.

I particularly relish the challenge of growing nonprofit infrastructure. I’ve founded Our Books, Our Books Illustration and Design, House32 Web Design, and assisted in getting Open Development Cambodia and the ICT4 Cambodia Development Network off the ground.

I serve on the boards of Open Development Cambodia, Our Books, Nou Hach Literary Journal, and arts ‘think tank’ Sang Salapak.

I frequently teach at varied tech events, and enjoy sharing my interests via blogging, cartooning and varied writing. My opinions on art, culture, and technology are cited in publications ranging from Time and USA Today to Punk Planet.

Please feel free to get in touch.

‘Liquid City’ Gets Eisner Award Nomination

It’s been a busy time for comics.

Liquid City Volume Two

I’m happy to note that Liquid City Volume Two has been nominated for an Eisner Award, for ‘Best Anthology’.

The Eisners are a USA comic industry annual award, named after one of the giants of the medium. I have a small text piece on Cambodian comics included, what really excites me seeing mainstream enthusiasm for Southeast Asian comics. (And probably a Volume Three, down the road!)

In other comics news:

  • Sale of two framed comics prints at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Cambodia, to raise funds for Japan quake relief. (Above)
  • ‘Darkest Day’ Anthology is out, including my contribution ‘Maps’. You can purchase it online from http://funtime.comics.org.nz/
  • And QuickDraw (online) gets a thumbs-up from AsiaLife! Thanks!

Darkest Day

Not comics: we had a spirited discussion about just what the heck ‘Social Media’ is for the Overseas Press Club of Cambodia at Meta House.
