My Literary Friends

My friend John Porcellino has been making comics for a long time. His King Cat series was in full swing by the time we lived together in 1989 and it's still running today. He posted that his book "Thoreau at Walden" was on super sale for under $5 on Amazon, so I jumped. It's pretty fantastic.

Another friend competed on the Bravo show "Work of Art" and won the competition that had the artists design a book cover. His interpretation of The Time Machine not only won on the show, but was published by Penguin on the H.G. Wells classic. Got that from Amazon, too. His cover reminds me of the books from the 70s. There are elements of ethereal, surreal, and fantastic, and I'm excited that he won. (He shouldn't have been booted from the show the next week, but that's grist for a different post, I suppose.)

DeKalb, IL once again the epicenter of the universe.
