...I hope you'll consider preordering this picture book by me and Mike Deas. That's the only Christmas gift I need.
Might be the best one I've ever co-created.

Last week we visited a most amazing bookstore, Chamblin’s Bookmine in Jacksonville, FL. A densely packed labyrinth of books and shelves, with helpful, colorful signs taped up everywhere to help navigate. I could have stayed a week, but we only had a couple of hours. #books

Pogo, 1951 book - Walt Kelly - some real zingers, some a little dated

Jacob Lawrence paintings

A hard book to read, more violent & vengeful than I like, almost quit 11 chapters in, but it has some moving character arcs, messages, solid twists and surprises, good heart. Not sure whether I’ll read more by him, glad to have read this.

This is a cool book, and adds about a hundred movies to my watch list. Cool to see makeup for some favorite characters, (Lost Boys, David Bowie in The Hunger, too many to count)
