One. Hundred. Beasts!: Opening This Weekend

This Saturday, at Giant Robot in San Francisco, a massive showing of the work from Beasts! Book 2 will be opening. More than one hundred artists will have work to view and purchase, so if you're in the area, it sounds more than worth the time to stop by. All the details can be viewed at Giant Robot's site or at the Beasts! blog.

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.
