It will be out some time late fall 2009

About a year ago, I was commissioned to illustrate two short stories in two books edited by Paul Buhle.
One book was based on the lives of The Beat generation ans the other was based on the interviews of Stud's Terkel's Working.
I just got a copy of the Best Seller's list. The Beats: A Graphic History came up #3 and Working is listed as #12.

(Not sure what's up with the LJ cut, can't get it to edit today.)

One of the many reasons I won't get a Facebook account.
This article is about a new work malware that sounds pretty awful.

The 21st World Wide Sketchcrawl this Saturday January 10th.
Check out the forum and hook up with your city.

If you never done this before, you're in for a real treat. Sketching around your hometown is lots of fun.
We're hooking up with the Portland Sketchcrawl at Pioneer Place in downtown Portland around 10:00 am

I have a very Happy friends page!
I borrowed this wonderful graphic from colleencoover

Went to Sketchcrawl yesterday. Weather was sunny, a little cool so after we sketched Teddy Roosevelt, we went into PAM and skethed Venus. Had a fantastic time and met up with some great people who enjoyed sketching in downtown Portland as much as I did.

Met at Starbucks first. Always a great place for their comfy chairs!
Then it was off to the Park Blocks for some sketching outdoors.
Next stop, before lunch was the statue gallery.

My friend,  schung1968 sent me a great scan of the San Francisco Examiner's article on the Kick-Ass All Girl Graphic Novel Panel coming up on Wed, Oct 8th.
(I was so pleased they chose my art from GoGirl! )


Hope you can check it out this great panel!
The event is sponsored by Litquake and the panel will be held at Books Inc.

See online article for more details of time and place.

Just saw this on notyourmothers community. Great line up of creators at the Oct 8: "KICK-ASS, ALL-GIRL, graphic novel panel"! I just wish I lived in San Francisco because this looks like a lot of fun!
If you're in the area, check it out and hear my friend and collaborator, Trina Robbins talk all about Girls comics!

I like Apple products because they are very well made.
I am a very happy Mac user!
The service at the Apple store is always great and I always come back. The employees are reliable, dependable and well trained. I would probably not purchase Apple products at any other store but a certified Apple store because I have found the staff at other stores to be very lazy. Most of the employees tend to be very poorly trained and do not know what customer service is really all about.You ask them where a certain product is and they just point and say, "It's over there!"  That's just plain laziness!   I worked in retail for over a decade and customer service training was a priority and if it was not met, you heard about it from the manager!

After a very much anticipated wait, the cover for Pigling is up on Amazon.
I illustrated this story last year for Lerner's Graphic Myth's and Legends line. Please check out all their books. Great line and exceptional color, mostly by Hi Fi.

Gothic Classics came out last spring. It was an absolute  joy to illustrate. All those velvet jackets and muslin gowns.
My publisher, Tom Pomplun sent me a link for this review from Newsarama. The Reviewer, Michael May  has been enjoying The Complete Jane Austen on Masterpiece and gave a nice review for Northanger Abbey.

Perfect Day to spend a sunny, February day!
I went out and visited a couple of comic book shops to help promote Free Comic Book Day.

I passed out postcards from the Graphic Classics: Special Edition coming out May 3.
First one on my stop was Excalibur Comics in Portland and the other was Floating World Comics. I can say with confidence that these establishments have the greatest staff. Very knowledgable staff and really took the time to talk with me.
Both shops have a very diverse collection of comic and graphic novels.
Hope to hit some more tomorrow.

Happy Valentine's Day! Have a Happy Heart Day!
