"Tomorrow is a Long Time"

 

How is it nigh on September and where did my Summer go? Cicadas, keep humming and let's pretend Fall is a no-show.

And I'm finishing up final art for a book right now, but wanted to pop in to say that:

*The Year of the Book just got a pretty nifty write-up in the New York Times.

*Also, a nice little bit of news about the Princess Flip & Draw I illustrated for Mudpuppy last year.

Warp and Weft

Growing up in the shadow of so many abandoned textile mills results in an inevitable fascination with these mammoth structures, the people employed therein and the miles and miles of fabric they wove.

At least that's what's floating around my head/filling up my sketchbook today, looking for a story bound up in all of those literal/metaphorical threads.

Canicular Days

Thick in the midst of deadlines, so a few snaps of what else is happening in the meantime.
