The Night Bookmobile by Audrey Niffenegger – A Book Review
Not quite a picture book and not quite a graphic novel, The Night Bookmobile, like its plot, is gloriously subversive in terms of both genre and plot. In this short tale we have Alexandra, a woman who strolls Chicago streets during the early, early morning. She happens across a night bookmobile in the shape of a…

The Truth Is a Cave In the Black Mountains by Neil Gaiman and Eddie Campbell – A Book Review
Written by the renowned Neil Gaiman, this small picture book is unlike anything I’ve ever read. Perhaps picture book is too simple a phrase, for that conjures up something meant for a child, which this book clearly is not. At seventy-three pages, I read this tale in less than an hour. Every page is comprised…

East of West by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta – A Book Review
I recently checked out a batch of graphic novels in search of a few must-reads. I’m a collector by nature, and I enjoy having a series (or twelve) to follow. East of West could be counted among the batch, but honestly, I picked it up only because it was available. I didn’t particularly like the…

Shout Out to Jude Landry
Every once in a while I like to give a shout out to Jude Landry. Jude is an amazing artist. He’s won all kinds of awards and when I needed an artist to design the cover to my book, Andropia, he immediately sprang to mind and he nailed it. My basement is literally full of…

Whitman Illuminated: Song of Myself Illustrated by Allen Crawford – A Book Review
I firmly believe the publishing world must always adapt, evolve, and break new ground. This book does just that. Yes, it is Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself, unaltered and unabridged. However, Allen Crawford blended art and text to create something entirely new, all while still honoring the original poem. Each page progresses the poem and…

A Few Words About Troy Marcy Photography
I’ve had the honor of following Troy Marcy’s work for several years now, and I can, without hesitation, attest to the fact that this man is a true artist, a student of the craft, and an ethical person. Furthermore, he’s a good friend. Troy’s passion for photography is evident with each and every photograph he…

Check out “Hey Oscar Wilde! It’s Clobberin’ Time”
Two of my favorite things in this world, art and literature, come together in a perfect union surpassed only by chocolate and peanut butter. “Hey Oscar Wilde! It’s Clobberin’ Time” is a website compiling several renowned artists’ renderings of beloved literary characters and authors. There’s even an occasional excursion into nonliterary pop culture (such as Howard Stern). …
