After growing up in the Chicagoland area, Matt Silady taught eighth grade for six years in Champaign, Illinois before moving west to study creative writing at the University of California, Davis. It was there he discovered comics as a medium for fine art.

In 2007, he published his first graphic novel, The Homeless Channel. The story about a television executive attempting to start a 24-hour cable network for the homeless was nominated for an Eisner Award.

Since then, Matt accepted a teaching position at California College of the Arts where he helped expand the undergraduate comics curriculum and founded CCA's MFA in Comics program in 2013. After chairing the graduate program from 2013-2021, Matt guided the creation of CCA’s new BFA in Comics

Jeremy I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me yesterday. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened to create so many messages. Some weird glitch.

Argh...this is terrible...

Again, I'm very sorry.

-Jeremy


Jeremy Here’s wishing you a nifty New Year filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats.

-Jeremy :)

P.S.—I’m currently offering autographed/personally-inscribed copies of my novel, Vacation, with free shipping for those in the US. If there’s anything you could do to help me spread the word about this, I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to click here for details:

Jeremy Hi Matt!

Here’s wishing you a yippee-filled Yuletime overflowing with yard-long yams, yapping yoyo-yanking yetis, yak-milk yeast-cakes, and yellow yarn-yielding year-end yard-gnomes.

-Jeremy :)

Pia Hey Matt - I'm in awe of graphic novels - the illustration/characterization, the cell composition and cropping, the writing - and how terrifically moving they can be. i.e. Jimmy Corrigan, Blankets, Everyday Matters, Cruddy. The books you're reading and rating sound/look interesting.

Jeremy Hi Matt!

If you don't mind sharing--I was wondering, what's your favorite graphic novel of all time?

Here’s wishing you a weekend filled with wacky whims, wonderful weirdness, and well-disposed werecats.

-Jeremy :)

Jeremy Thanks for the friendship, Matt! Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous fates, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools. :)

Patrick Doyle Hello Matt,

Thanks for adding me to your friends list. When you have a moment check out the series I'm currently working on - edgarfont.com. It's a busy week for me here. I just finished the rewrite of book 3 and it's due to the editors in a couple days. With that, I had better go. I look forward to sharing stories. Maybe I'll see you in town one day. Have an adventurous if not haunted day.

~patrick
