Best of a Dead Year

While I think this falls safely (distastefully?) under the "Tooting One's Horn" category, I did want to extend a thanks to New York Magazine and Entertainment Weekly for choosing "The Three Paradoxes" for their "Best of 2007" lists.

And a cross-continental handshake goes to Toby Litt and Nathan Burton, with whom I shared a very flattering illustration award in early December from the Victoria and Albert Museum in England, for the cover to Mr. Litt's book, "Hospital." I thank you, as does my Anglophile mother. A doff of the bowler, mum.
