Comments on: sex & drugs http://www.dootdootgarden.com/2008/03/14/sex-drugs/ The blog of Craig Thompson Sun, 05 Feb 2012 11:19:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Mek http://www.dootdootgarden.com/2008/03/14/sex-drugs/#comment-36522 Mek Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:06:45 +0000 http://blog.dootdootgarden.com/2008/03/14/sex-drugs/#comment-36522 I wasn't a big comic reader before I met the unbelievable poetry in Blankets. I can also relate with some aspects of the characters. Craig's inner struggles in the novel made me think about myself and my relationship with God and family. And it was the first entire novel that I read in English - I'm Italian! ^u^ Good work, Craig, thank you and keep on telling stories that can move our souls!

I too, grew up in a tight, guilt and self-hatred filled childhood scenario. I related to many aspects of your story, like needing to distance myself from church and Bible to find freedom from rules . I am in a season of being free to try all sorts of new things, and to interact with life. The way you draw, makes me want to see my life in pictures ,like yours. I'm glad to find your blog page so I can tell you! I live in Charlotte NC with my husband and 3 kids. We're musicians, mostly, if you come this way, I'd love to meet you and give you a cd.

Gibson of DJG Design fame (or lack thereof) introduced me to "Blankets" recently and I related to it 200%. I am your age and I am writing a book that sort of explores life through the lenses of pop culture, theology, OCD (what a wonderful blessing/curse it is!), personal experience, etc. It's sort of in the vein of Anne Lamott or Donald Miller, but with a much larger emphasis on film, music, art, etc. I am in the midst of writing a chapter on creativity and the theological implications of the creative act. The chapter discusses artists like Henry Darger, James Hampton, Ray Johnson, and my friend Danny J. Gibson, among others. You and Danny would probably get along famously by the way. He loves your work and relates to it as well. Would I be able to interview you for it? I would love to pick your brain. :) Let me know. Most Sincerely, Chad Thomas Johnston Hi Craig,

I'm a Belgian student-illustration, last year and I have a final project. I'm making a graphic novel of my journey to Egypt last year. It's funny, my first work-title was also 'Habibi', before I knew your new book would be named so. My new (temporal) title is 'mumkin shaj' (can I have a tea please (I didn't learn much Arabic)) A life like yours seems so cool, always drawing and travelling. I hope it isn't to hard, I would fear a 'writer's (drawer's) block' Good luck with 'habibi' and keep us updated Hi Craig

You're my favorite recent comic artist, I'm a huge fan so you'd better come to Chicago for a signing once this is out :D I can’t wait, I’m excited as hell.

Alors je m'exprimerais dans ma première langue c'est plus simple pour moi. Je veux simplement te remercier pour ton authenticité. Ça me fait tellement de bien de te lire. Ton monde est magique et pourtant tellement réel...c'est un peu comme s'il me réapprennait à observer mon quotidien. Je veux te remecier aussi car, grâce à toi j'ai découvert Menomena!!! Au magasin de disque j'ai été attiré par la pochette de l'album "hey, mais ce sont les dessins de Craig Thompson". Cette pochette est superbement ingénieuse, BRAVO. Aussi ingénieuse quela musique de Menomena! Je ne sais pas ce que j'aurais donné pour vous voir en spectacle ensemble!!! En espérant que cela se reproduise et que Montréal sera sur votre chemin! J'ai très hâte de voir ta prochaine BD, mais ne te presses pas, ne brise pas ta main! Nathalie Bonjour Craig,
