Enrico's blog

Scott Morse‘s wonderful (believe me I have a preview copy right here) new book Tiger!Tiger!Tiger! is available for preorder on Amazon! I especially like this latest autobiographical tale from Scott. And you know, it’s always good to save on shipping, bundle it with some other title like this or that. Coff coff …

Started to work on bookplates this weekend … Sumo Enrico, Yoga Enrico, all sorts of silly Enricos. Many of you have pre-ordered the Venice Chronicles with the bookplate option (thank you, I hope you will like these), but I think I might have to call them sold out real soon. For now I planning to [...]

Books go on sale in just a few hours from the Totoro Forest Project Blog (12:00pm pacific time). We are limiting the orders to a maximum of two books per person, so hopefully most of you can get a book. Another way to get hold of it will be at the Alternative Press Expo in [...]

I received the preview copy of the Venice Chronicles last thursday but I’ve been so busy with the Totoro Forest Project that I’ve barely looked at it. Here it is though … just took some photos last night. Frankly the first thing one notices after having worked so long and hard on a book it’s [...]

Just got these this morning!!! How exciting … I’ve asked the Venice Chronicles printer in Hong Kong (Global PSD) to possible take some photos of the process … unfortunately by the time I asked they were done with printing … but here’s some wonderful pics of the book getting bound and finished! I should be [...]

Yay, we have a cover! That took a while … updates on Amazon do tend to take a bit all around. I think we should soon also be able to browse inside the book. Incidentally the book is supposed to be go to print today. Update- browse inside the book now!

Finally the day has come! It’s been more than a year since I’ve heard that Miyazaki San was storyboarding Ponyo with watercolors and since then I’ve sure been looking forward to the e-konte book they always publish! I pretty much could barely wait … and here it is today finally in my mailbox! What a [...]

Just picked up Haruki Murakami’s new book: What I talk about when I talk about running. While it’s an unusual departure for Murakami to write a memoir, I’m already thoroughly enjoying this book’s honesty.

Here’s a little drawing of Fio. I’m testing papers to make special Sketchcrawl notebooks! This woodfree (100gsm) cream colored paper is dealing pretty well with watercolors, not much warping, as it’s quite thick and the color went down nicely no bubbly weirdness that some of the moleskine regular paper gives. My pencil goes down really [...]

Today I got the second wet-proofs for the book after the first round of fixes and tweaks (mostly color and contrast) and I’m happy to say that they are just great! I just sent them back to the printer in HongKong, where they’ll now be able to go into production and make the book! Yay!
