Big Questions Book Tour: Day One
Went to bed at 1am, got up at 5. I did a couple of drawings on the airplane. Sammy took us to the best old-time L.A. burger joint ever. I took a nap. I talked to his kids about learning to swim. Two hours from now I give the first reading with Souther and Ron. And I'm almost done with my slide show. Almost.

Recent happenings in the interblob
This interview just got posted this week at Tiny Mix Tapes. Some topics discussed:
–Zen koans in the form of a gag strip
–Canadian superheroes
–Drawing the landscape of New Mexico
–Dennis Hopper's highly regarded mis-steps
Also, they used a certain image to headline the piece:
In honor of being disemboweled, and because I'm not sold out like I thought I was, the print of that image is on sale here for $25 through next week.
Two books, one with pictures by, one with pictures of me also are being released upon the world this week. One is Julia Rothman's Drawn In, which is about artist's sketchbooks. Highlights include awesomeness by Austin English, Abbey Hendrickson, Christian Defilippo and Laura Park .
The other one is Heroes and Villains, a book of photographs of artists by Tatiana Wills and Roman Cho. Gabrielle's photo is especially awesome.
