Brian's quite remarkable blog of wonder.

Last week I splurged on all eight of Christopher Baldwin's Bruno books. Those arrived in the mail the other day. Wow. Baldwin inspires the shit out of me. He puts so much work into his art - down to making blueprints of his characters' houses and drawing backgrounds in exhaustive detail from photographs - that it makes me wonder why it took me a whole summer to do 20 crappy pages of my graphic novel. I am filled with the longing to CARE that much about my art. Maybe I should start up a comic strip again, because historically that's been the only way for me to actually draw anything for its own sake.

I got my Mike Gordon t-shirt in the mail today!
