I really didnt know where to put this comment, but I thought your work in Blankets was wonderful, being a teen and all makes you think about a lot. Life, death, the mind, time, how this world works, how women work. Im a little bit of an outcast myself, and when I do feel even more lonely than ussual I turn to my art or others and Blankets did very well to re-kindle my want for a female companion ( Previously I decided I would hate women forever). So in conclusion, thanks for Blankets, perhaps someday I could figure out how to draw with ink like you do, instead of using the pencils they provide at hell… sorry, school. Thank you.

Curious librarian, here. At which ALA session/event will you be? If you are speaking it’d be nice to hear. Thanks!

I cannot believe that I just discover your blog! I’ve read blanket years ago -when it came out in france- became a bookseller, sold it hundreds of time -always with success!- and now I am in the US, doing movies, and staying connected to the paper and the ink with a little blog…
I cannot wait to read HABIBI!!!!!
Keep up and a bientot!

Hi Craig, I’m Takeshi from Texas. I just read Blankets for the first time, and I just had to tell you that your work is incredible, amazing, marvelous, inspiring and magnificent. I’ve been a poet and writer for a while now, always trying and hoping to write something powerful, emotional and relateable. It seems I should put down my pen, because I could never surpass the sheer perfection of Blankets.
Honestly, it’s like you took my hope, distilled it, and then drew it onto the page. Like pretty much everyone else, Blankets reminds me so much of my own childhood, my own experience and my own struggles. You have a wonderful gift that you clearly utilize masterfully. May God bless you, Craig. I thank you for Blankets, which has made me a lifelong fan.
I’m just about to order Goodbye, Chunky Rice and I will definitely order Habibi when it comes out. Keep up the good work!

Great weekend Craig.
Maybe too much heat, but everything else perfect. Really good exhibitions and i finally got to know your work, both published and originals blew me away.
Bought and read Blankets Saturday, coudn’t stop. Loved it, brilliant.

Great panel also. You and Pedro connected and talked about different, interesting subjects. I had to leave early but enjoyed it all.

Thanks
