Inspired by some posts by comics writer Cullen Bunn, Orrin Grey posted a pic of a comics cover from when he was a kid that has provided him with inspiration. I think that’s a really nifty idea, so I’m posting (with no comment on why or how or what) a comics cover that influenced me as a kid (and continues to now):
One of my best friends in the whole world, the amazingly talented Margaret Meyer, has started a new blog and hung her shingle up on Etsy. If you like dreamy, beautiful art, check her sites out.
I’ve loved Tony DiTerlizzi’s art since I first saw it in Planescape and Changeling books. His picture books Jimmy Zangwow’s Out-of-This-World Moon-Pie Adventure and Ted are two of my favorite children’s books. Plus, we were both born in California in 1969 and seem to have similar influences, so…I’m a fan.
But, oh boy, do I really, really love the pictures of the Joker, Robin, the Penguin and Catwoman that’s he’s done. Fan-freakin’-tastic! Just…wow!
Q: Josh, why are you excited to start your new job?
A: Because, this is the kind of atmosphere I’ll be working in. How could I not be excited?
Longtime goblin-friend Jennifer R. tipped me off to this fantastic library art project: cARTalog. Take a stroll through the images. They’re great! I love this!
