Whaaa-at!!! When I first saw this profile of Luke PEarson in The New Yorker, I was pleased as punch. I called Pearson one of the best emerging cartoonists when I first saw his work four years ago and since then he's definitely emerged are a best selling author. But then I got to the third paragraph with the huge news that Pearson's Hilda series is being adapted as a 12-episode animated series set to debut on Netflix in 2018.

It's that time of year when we start thinking about NEXT year, and publishers nveil their schedules. And few unveilings are as pretty as those from Nobrow—their books are routinely gorgeous and display a level of artistry few other publishers can match. ANd next year's line-up (through August) are as gorgeous as you'd expect.

As a comics fan, it's always nice to see the medium get wider recognition from other fields, although perhaps not as surprising in the past few years of pop culture dominance, thanks in large...

Ulp. I guess blogging is dead. Artist John Martz just announced he's ending his art blog, Drawn which was one of the most influential art blogs of the last 10 years or so. Martz started it in 2005 linking to tons of creator websites, and art pieces over the years. But as he notes, 2013 is not 2005:
