Don’t know if you read any of these comments… I’m not an artist but your work has inspired me to start writing again. I feel a strange kinship because of similar upbringing (cold weather+Christian fundamentalism) and close age (by a week in fact). Definitely jealous of the worldly experience and success. Can’t wait for the next one…

greetings –

First off, praise for _Blankets._ I just finished it. Graphic novels usually don’t make me cry, but this one did. Several times, in fact, perhaps because of the parallels between our lives: the Christian upbringing (and eventual rejection of same), the clear remembrance of feelings, the progression of first loves, etc.

Thank you for such a stunning book.

I would like to know if you’re willing to discuss working together. I have a story I’d like to tell, and have tried drawing a few panels of it. Thing is, though, it doesn’t feel quite right to me. I think we can make it an interesting story; I’d like it to touch on religion transitioning to spirituality, maturation, confusion, loss, joy, etc etc etc.

I would love to talk with you about this project. If you’re interested, please email me at anamacha@gmail.com . Even if you’re not, please email me anyway, just so I can know one way or the other.

Thanks mate.

Hi Craig,

It’s Justin from long runs during college. I have a question for you. Could you send me an email?

Oooh! The main website is down. Either I’m freaking out about nothing, or this could mean it’s getting a Habibi-themed redesign!

Hey Craig-
Earlier in the year, my twin sister, who is a student at Lewis and Clark, asked some one on the street to recommend a good sushi place and after they left, she realized they looked a lot like you. It’d be pretty rad if it turned out to be you! She’s a huge fan- her copies of Blankets, Carnet De Voyage and Good-bye, Chunky Rice are the few of her many, MANY books that she refuses to part with ( I know this well, we fought over them when we went off to college this year). We’re both eagerly awaiting Habibi! From what you’ve posted, it looks like it’s going to be your most stunning and ornate work yet! Keep up the fantastic work! Exclamation points!!

Is “doot doot” any reference to the song by Freur? If not, you should still check the song out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pnQfPOFNLI It ranks in the top 10 of my all time favorite songs. Hope you enjoy!
