There’s No Such Thing as a Graphic Novel

test heading[From the drawing board of Cyril Pedrosa] That was probably a bad way to start my blog entry. I already regret it bitterly. I would've been better off talking about the arrival of spring or rambling about French trains. Telling you that I'm uncomfortably seated on seat 27, aisle side, heading towards a small [...]

LAIKA: making-of site

Have a look-see: Nick Abadzis calls this gem a 'micro site' dedicated to the making of his LAIKA. Well worth a visit, it's a beauty! It's an online version of the slideshow talk he gave at various venues last October and November when Laika came out.  http://www.nickabadzis.com/laika/   "a luminous masterpiece filled with pathos and [...]

Beginning-Middle-End

test heading[From the desk of Steven Seagle] I’m always amazed by people who tell me that they could never do what I do: tell a story. I think it’s the opposite. I think people can’t not tell a story. I think it’s in our blood. Genetic? Jungian? I don’t know, but I blame a little [...]

The Birth of a UFO

test heading[from the drawing board of Fabrice Parme] I'm not going to talk about how Tiny Tyrant came into being. That'll be for another time. Instead I want to tell you about the birth of another work I created with Lewis Trondheim. In June 2004, Trondheim and I were invited to attend a comics convention in [...]

Trust

test heading[From the studio of Mike Cavallaro] I’ve worked off and on at my own desk or at various studios here in NYC for almost 15 years, but this past spring I took a slightly different step. I rented a separate workspace with five other artists and moved my old art table in, along with [...]

In the Studio

test heading[From the studio of Teddy Kristiansen] My name is Teddy Kristiansen and I am a readaholic. I read a lot . . . a lot a lot. Almost any genre, and always with a hungry appetite for more. Biographies, fiction, short stories, essays and so on and so on. . . . I love [...]
