3. The Runaway Tortilla Arrives!


My author copies for Eric Kimmel's Runaway Tortilla (Graphic Arts Books, Sept. 2015) arrived yesterday afternoon. VERY excited to have these and so pleased again with all of Vickie's design work to pull this all together in such a great way. THANK YOU VICKIE! Plus, she put Señor Coyote's glamour shot on the back -- which is perfect -- so there you go :)

The this newest book is a milestone for me of sorts as well, as it is my first official venture into illustration with Adobe Photoshop. There's some watercolor texture pulled into the mix as well, but I'm excited by the results and the potential for future work. Check out a few additional images on my digital portfolio page. Enjoy!

7. Doofus



Here is a doofus that I hope is not too late. When I think of great doofuses, as defined by this challenge, I think of the television show "Freaks and Geeks." An underrated show that was unceremoniously canceled after only one season, "Freaks and Geeks" had so many great characters. This guy would have fit in perfectly with his D & D handbook in hand.

8. Yecchh!


This can ruin a nice day at the beach. Technically, this could work for "doofus" too.

This a recycle from IF "string, but my "Doofus" will be new, I promise.

12. Digital Detritus

In geologic terms, detritus is a rubbing away, a fragmentation - as in rock dust. I've been cleaning up - dusting if you will - my office of late, and came across some excellent detritus of my own.

As my only venture into digitally produced artwork (Adobe Illustrator vector drawings) these samples from the Seattle Public Libary Summer Reading Program c. 2004 seemed like a fun post.

Enjoy!

16. The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation


The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation by Sid Jacobson & Ernie Colon. Based on the final report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States. Copy donated by publisher in support of the Cybils 2006.

About:

A graphic adaptation of the 9/11 Report, putting forth the time line of what happened on 9/11, then the results of the commission's investigation of what lead up to 9/11, including how it happened, why, failures, and recommendations.

The Good:

Hats off to the person who decided that the final report could be adapted into a GN format. When I heard about it, I thought it was crazy; then I read it, and realized it was a perfect match.
This turns a dense and complicated report into something much more accessible. I hesitate to say it's easy to read, because how can anything related to 9/11 be "easy"? But it is easy to follow, and to connect the pieces.

Why it works: sometimes, a picture is more effective than words on a page. This is one of those times. Also, often I understand something better from seeing an illustration, instead of having something described. This is one of those times.
