For the past few months, I had been coloring a graphic novel adaptation of Little Women.
(I also pencilled and inked the art, too.) The work is done and has been sent to the ftp server.
I learned so much about Photoshop, more than I could ever imagine!
Here's the completed cover. The Little Women will be a part of the Graphic Classics: Louisa May Alcott Vol 18. Book will be out in December.

The Beats: A Graphic History

Harvey Pekar

I illustrated a story in this anthology about the Beats  cultural movement. Just received an email from my editor for The Beats. It's # 3 on the The Independent Bookstore Comics and Graphic Works Bestseller List for June 2009!
Also, Working -another book I worked on with Paul is listed as # 12 on the same Best seller list.

It's National Stress Awareness Day. Show us something that calms you.

I meditate to music. I found some great music  at iTunes and I subscribe to several.

This one is very good.

I really like electronic music. It can be more than just relaxing. It helps me unwind and  puts things into perspective.

Haven't been able to update in a while. Car trouble, (car eventually died) flu, work. Not really out of the woods yet but getting there.
Here's a book I recently contributed to. It's a graphic novel history -all about The Beat Generation

Do you have any stereotypical Type-A personalities in your life? How does that affect you?

I do. Being around these individuals  is totally exhausting. They talk a lot.They expound on the most tedious details. I am amazed on how one little problem has so many facets!

They spend so much of their time multi-tasking and list making, I 'm amazed they have anytime to get anything done! But they do. They make their deadlines and finish their projects, even with all the interruptions! I really don't know how they do it! Which is why I'm a Type B!

"It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air." ~W.T. Ellis
How are you celebrating Christmas this year?

We have been snowed in for the past 5 days. Very rare for our area. Haven't had much of an opportunity to get out and visit friends. Roads too slick, even with chains.

Still, I am amazed that after so many years, we really have a White Christmas.

We are experiencing a true winter storm. Snow is up to our knees where we hardly have any snow. And haven't had a White Christmas in a long , long time!
Took some pics around our neighborhood.
