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.

Kingdom Of “I Wonder” Comics Exhibition

01 

Thanks to Artillery Cafe for hosting my comics (particularly Brittany and Sopor) as well as Samros and Vanessa for their persistend effort in honing the details.  https://www.facebook.com/events/1602233853388330/

 

Thanks also to Will Jackson for a writeup in the Phnom Penh Post.

And Sotheavy Nou for pictures via the Khmer Times. http://www.khmertimeskh.com/news/13364/around-town/

I was just a little apprehensive to see if people would ‘get’ cartoons in a gallery context, but was gratified to see the crowd that showed up.

It was also a mini-reunion of sorts as friends and students from the Center For Khmer Studies showed up – Undergrad Students, Fellowship Recipients, postgrads as well. Auspicious timing, as many of these folks are only here for a short study stint.

If you want to buy one of the prints? Mosey on down. http://artillerycafe.com/

And there are more comics to come at www.QuickDraw.me. 

 

Thanks again to all who encouraged and assisted in both putting this show together — in addition to those who encouraged the initial daily drawings. More pictures:
