I Got NOBROW 6 In The Mail The Other Day And It Is Awesome To See It In Person. I Cannot Believe How

I created my own cover illustration of William Gibson’s Neuromancer (one of my favorites) for Atomic Book’s “Jackets and Sleeves” show. Up for just a little while longer at Atomic!

"Severian and the Undine" a scene from Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.

I painted this piece for Seb Mesnard's upcoming gallery event in Paris "The Book Show." Thanks, Seb, for inviting me to participate! You can check out some of the other awesome work on the show blog here.

Book of the New Sun may be my favorite book series of all time. It's so astoundingly good, I don't really have adequate words. It transcends science fiction, fantasy, novel, whatever you want to call it, and is more an epic prose. It's just gorgeous, riveting, mind-blowing imagery and world-making by Gene Wolfe, a writer whose stories change and only get more amazing with each read. Just wow. You guys. You guys need to read it. Jimmy Giegerich introduced me to it. Check out his Severian!

Fantastic Tales II from Scout Books' Good Ink: American Shorts series just came out, and it features the short story I illustrated last year, "The Isle of Voices" by Robert Louis Stevenson. Other mini books in the set are "The Giant's Heart" by George MacDonald, illustrated by Lark Pien; and "Mowgli's Brothers" by Rudyard Kipling, illustrated by Rebecca Dart. This was a lot of fun to work on, and I loved the story I got assigned. Thanks to editor François Vigneault for including me in the series!

You can pick up the Fantastic Tales II set for $12 and check out all the other Good Ink: American Shorts sets from Scout Books here. All are illustrated beautifully by many talented artists and come in nicely-packaged mini-book form. They're all great little classics that are definitely worth revisiting.

For Valentines Day I give you a galactic prince reclining on a nebula. Space flowers are perfect for pondering the timeless "She loves me, she loves me not. She loves me, she loves me not..."

My lovely friend Kelly Lasserre's handwritten type is so good and so enviable!  There's something really sweet and silly about this that I adore, and all the painted objects she's been creating just make me so happy.

Dusknoir! For Jordan Rosenberg's Ghost PokeZine. Check out details (because funding has ended and was successful! alright!) on its Kickstarter here. This was fun. Look at that little Eevee! So doofy and unsuspecting...
