Graphic drawings of the movies I saw in 2011

Thought you might want to check out this post. I thought it would be fun to come up with a graphic image for every movie I saw last year. Yeah, I know, not all of them work 100%, but....

Check out the other 44 film graphic images here on my blog.

Look What I Found...

So, I have been cleaning up around the studio and unearthed a few copies of PCS Book 2. I have been asked about this book a bunch of times hanging out with some of the newer PCSers. It contains more than 25 of our members. Among them are: Jeffro Kilpatrick, Christine Larsen, Andrew Hart, Melissa Lomax, Jacob Lambert, James PointDujour, Andrew Hoffmann and myself. I have six copies for sale up on my store. Hey, if you are a local yokel shoot me an e-mail and I just put her in yer hands and we can save on the postage. Click on the link below to check it out.

Interview with Quo Vadis Writers’ Project.

I was recently interviewed about my book, “I Put the Can in Cancer: A Journey Through Pictures” by the Quo Writers’ Project as a featured writer. These are the folks (Exaclair, Inc.) that make some really beautiful sketchbooks; Rhodia, Clairefontaine and Quo Vadis to name a few. They were also gracious enough to donate a bunch of their Exacompta sketchbooks to bundle with my book to give to Children’s Hospital here in Philadelphia later this year. You can read the interview here . Great company, awesome products, good people!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Karen Doherty (VP, Marketing, Exaclair.com) and Leah Hoffmann (Quo Vadis Blog blogger) for their amazing help and support.

Pen to Publisher - The Life of Three Sendak Picture Books

Taken from the Rosenbach Museum's website:

On display fromTuesday, January 24, 2012 to Sunday, July 15, 2012

Every book has a life of its own: the flash of insight that inspired its creator; the negotiations among authors, publishers, and printers to produce it; and the readers who cherish and critique it. This exhibition follows the lives of three picture books by Maurice Sendak: The Sign on Rosie’s Door (1960), Outside Over There (1981), and Brundibar (2003). Spanning more than 40 years, each of these books was inspired and produced in radically different ways by Sendak and his collaborators. Together they reveal how Sendak pursued and preserved a core idea or character through his own artistic refinements and the ever-changing techniques and technologies of the publishing industry.
