I just can't say enough on how much this movie has inspired me over the years. And obviously judging by this album I'm not close to alone.
I also have the original children's book Burton published. Absolutely one of the prizes of my pic book collection (I mean my son's collection...ahem).
Well I must say, this pen is a thing of beauty. Picked up a couple this morning and have put them through the ringer all day. This is now my new official workhorse pen.
Recently I had the chance to ask one of my favorite comic creators some questions. I stumbled on to Lucas' strip, "Imagine This" right when it launched. Shortly after I got the second thrill of knowing he would be part of TTF.
So head on over to TTF and learn some more about this super talent:
Neil Gaiman just posted a link to a little behind the scenes snippet from "Coraline". Of course I have to share this:

Just a note to check out the Guest Strip Project that benefits the Make A Wish Foundation. New strips everyday and hopefully lots of donations:
Today's the day for our first event as such, the Donationathon. Every
day this whole month we're doing a strip every single day to raise
money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.Don't forget to read every single day and also hit the donate button every so often too!!!!
I don't gamble but I love casinos. Figure that one out. Not enough to go to visit. I love magic. In fact I've been practicing and performing magic since second grade. Vegas has lots of great magicians. Still not enough to make me go.
Combine Criss Angel and Cirque du Soleil? Ah, that might just push me to the ticket counter.
Either way, you need to check out the website. Just went live:
As a life long magician and a fan of Cirque, just had to share these first look pictures of Criss Angels' Cirque show "Believe".
This will get me to go to Vegas:

I love thrillers but it's hard to find a good one, never mind a series. Yet I have, thanks to my parents. They brought two Brad Thor books this last visit and I'm completely hooked.

Apparently Amazon thought my book would sell better if it had a different title. Try as I might, I can't remember writing the part about the polar bear:
Not the actual Park, but the first collection of strips. Man, I am so excited to get this book. I've been reading from the beginning and there's just something so cool about having your favorite strip in print.
I can't recommend this one enough, and at $3.99, it's a steal!

The Berke Breathed interview is now up at TTF! Still in that thick dream haze of "did we actually get to interview Berke Breathed?". Well it's real, true, and now live.
And also, you must check out the illustration by Lucas Turnbloom of "Imagine This". Just plain wow!
An amazingly special guest will be visiting TTF on Monday. All of us got to ask this guest a question. And he graciously answered them at length. Sooo, you'll just have to tune in Monday to find out who it is.
Oh, wait, does the graphic give it away?
I'm am very guilty of that moniker. Try to hide it, but just found another site to feed my addiction. Via notebookism.com, discovered a great blog that deals strictly with alternatives to Moleskines. Moleskines happen to be my drug of choice, but I'm always on the lookout for other brands that also meet my requirements.
And as a topper, they're having a little contest too:
Have I mentioned I'm excited about this book? The UK site just went live. Great illustration galleries. I've pre-ordered my copy but now I really want the version with Chris Riddell's art too:

Wanted to share this bit of news here. Even if you read SF online, you must get it in print. I love having my favorite strips in book format.

Thought I'd mention one of my inspirations in the realm of children's books. I'm currently working on my new book, so I tend to browse around sites that give me a few amps to work harder.
Tony Diterlizzi's site is on the top of the list. You'll recognize his masterful work on "The Spiderwick Chronicles" but don't miss his other artworks:

Very excited! Sophie will be appearing in one of my favorite comic strips, Imagine This. If you haven't started reading it yet, now's the perfect time.
