Reaching Out with... Invisible Hands

A million thanks to Mike Baehr at Fantagraphics for linking to Richard Cowdry's catalog of Richard Sala's Invisible Hands episodes. This was one of my absolute favorites on Liquid Television (R.I.P. Liquid Television), and I'm glad to see the internet has exhumed it.

Guardian's One Thousand Novels

I was honored to find out out that in the graphic novel section of their 1,000 Novels Everyone Must Read, The Guardian has selected The Three Paradoxes. (Thanks to the ever diligent Mike Baehr for the tip.)

More Creatures, More Carré

A reciprocal tip of the hat to Mike Baehr at Fantagraphics for posting a link to The Oregonian's "Best of Beasts 2" post, featuring, among others, Lilli Carré's contribution to the book. I've been an unabashed fan of Lilli's work since her days interning for me, but this has got to be one of the best drawings I've seen from her. Ever. Absolutely eye-popping.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't say that I received my copy of Beasts! Book 2 and it's easily as impressive as the first. I understand that can be taken as biased since I contributed, but trust me when I say that designer and editor Jacob Covey has done it again. Another tip of the hat to you, sir.

Yoda, Yoda, Yoda

In keeping with my earlier post about convention sketches: I'd be remiss in my duties as the boyfriend of a die-hard Star Wars enthusiast to not mention that my drawing of Yoda, along the legion of Yoda drawings amassed by Mike Baehr ( tireless web editor for Fantagraphics), is featured on the Star Wars blog, with a short interview with Mike. Strong with the thematic sketchbook he is.
