So, here we are, Ronnie and I are gonna head to New York tomorrow. For World Wide SketchCrawl 16 (this coming sunday) we will be meeting at 11:00am infront of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Hope to see some of you there. The global event is looking great with more than 30 locations participating from [...]

I think Google Reader has quickly become my favorite way of keeping up with all the blog feeds I like to read. Do many of you use it?

You must’ve seen this latest spot Passion Picture has made for Sony, really stunning work. Personally I certainly thought of Kozyndan’s work when I saw it. Turns out there’s a huge discussion on the web on the possible plagiarism involved here. Rip off, Homage, no wrong doing ? You decide … here’s Kozyndan’s post about [...]

I’ve written of italian storyteller GIPI and of how much I’ve been enjoying his work before. Since then the publisher First Second has put out another book of his (one of my favorites as matter of fact): Notes for a War Story. Don’t miss this graphic novel, it’s a great read. First Second also previously [...]

Driving into work I was listening, as I often do, to the NPR Writers Almanac and its daily poem. I found it particularly interesting and thought-provoking. See what you think.

And who doesn’t have a platonic crush on Charlotte Gainsbourg after it? Man or woman. I’ve been really liking her last album too: [...]

So here I am all packed and ready. Gonna be on vacation for a month! Italy mostly and a bit of Greece too. Gonna read books, swim in the mediterranean, visit the Biennale in Venice, relax away and just plain enjoy life in my “new state”.
I am gonna miss the San Diego Comic-Con this [...]

McSweeney’s is having an online sale to try and salvage the unfortunate economic situation they find themselves in after their distributor filed for bankruptcy last December. Fantagraphics has done a similar thing and it seemed to have really helped. I’ve been a Dave Eggers’s fan for years, so it’s pretty easy to find something of [...]

Paprika, the latest film by Satoshi Kon (Millenium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers), just opened in a few selected cities this weekend and hopefully more widely soon. I saw this movie a few weeks ago at the San Francisco Film Festival. I really enjoyed it. While I still absolutely recommend seeing it, parts of it maybe fell [...]

It’s kind of amusing and strange to be writing about this but I think it’s safe to say that Josh Cook at Bookslut.com pretty much hated our Three Trees make a forest book. He seems to miss narrative in our pieces and find them lacking depth. I am not so surprised at critique coming [...]
