Book Review illustration

Here's an illustration that'll be in this weekend's Washington Post BookWorld section. Book reviews, I think, are the most fun editorial jobs because you get to delve into a narrative and not worry about conveying every idea in the article.

I am attempting to pull back a bit and bring my work back to a "clearer" line. The thing with that technique is that it requires extremely careful colour-picking, which can be a bit laborious.

I'm really happy to announce that there will be some foreign translations of Skim, including French and Spanish. The UK, Australia, and NZ will also be getting a special edition (will "truck" become "lorry"? I don't know!!). Casterman is handling the French edition. You can read about it ici. Skim will be part of their "Ecritures" series, which includes books by Seth, Craig Thompson, and Ben Katchor and Chester Brown.

Here's the cover of the french edition (apparently available Aug 20):

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea

Ahhhh!!! New Studio Ghibli!!

The plot is centered on Ponyo, a girl fish with a human face, who leaves her underwater home to become human. She meets and befriends Sōsuke, a 5 year old boy, and begins transforming into a real girl. Ponyo's father misses her and calls on the power of the sea and storms to bring her back. Sōsuke tries to resist him to keep Ponyo with him.
