Interview with Gene Luen Yang and Rafael and Jorge
What a blast! I did an interview for Tor.com with one of my favorite authors, Piers Anthony who wrote the Xanth novels and many, many other works.

Had a great time at my favorite hometown bookstore Watchung Booksellers in Montclair, NJ. Thanks to Margot and Marisela for putting the event together and Marisela’s husband Paul for lugging a 36 inch tv to the store.
Thanks to Georgette and Baristanet kids for sponsoring event and bringing Claudette cookies from Le Baker Dozen. They were delicious, spunky and cool !
Read all about event here. And thanks to Kristin for promoting event and giving us a great review ! One more thing, during the signing afterwards, Kyla gave me a really cool piece of fan art. Check it out:
Another interview, another very talented creator. Raf and I talk with Raina Telgemeier for Tor. Read it HERE.

Nina Levy keeps a daily log of drawings she does on napkins for her 9 and 5 year old boys. Claudette, Valiant and a tasty looking strawberry made the latest napkin. Thanks, Nina.

.FROM JOHN NOVAK
When Rafael and Jorge first approached me about coloring their graphic novel Giants Beware! I was so excited I guess I got a little bit carried away. Let’s take a look back at the early drafts.
MY FIRST TRY:
Me: How’s this?
Rafael: Too Pop Art.
Me: Got it. More dramatic. How’s this?
Raf: That’s not even color. That’s Film Noir!
Me: Oh, I got it! Here:
Rafael: Seriously?
Novak: I forgot, you’re a cat person. Okay, how about this…
Rafael: What is she – a ghoul?
Me: No, it’s an homage to Van Gogh.
Rafael: Oh. Too busy.
Me: Waitaminute. I got it!
Me: How’s this?
Rafael: Ahhh, just right.
