I’m a fellow comix artist livin in NYC. I first discovered your work when I read that you had made a CD to go along with your book Blankets. This had been an idea I was messing around with myself and I must say I was rather jealous when I realized you had beaten me to the punch. Bitterly I read your Blankets book and found myself very moved by it.
I can’t wait for Habibi, but I do have a question about it. Is the new book going to be toned? Some of your sample pages online have sepia coloring and some don’t.
Keep up the hard work (it’ll pay off) and feel free to check out my stuff at http://www.benvsdov.com

]]>- fresh air. I live near the seaside and walking along the shore does wonders for my mind and soul.
- KitKat bars. Guaranteed. Got me through the double-whammy of writing my PhD thesis and the upset of a broken heart. ![]()
- exercise. You’ll need it after all of the KitKats.
But seriously, a vigorous workout drowns out the worries, negative thoughts and sadness. Your only focus is on the physical exertion and afterwards you are greeted with a wonderful sense of calm.
- sad songs. Ryan Adams works a treat for me, but to each his/her own.
Take care of yourself.

You wrote “I’m so desperate to document all the beauty” but we (readers) are just as grateful when you document difficult (or contradictory) things & times, whether these are yours or others.
as always, thank you.
