Retirement: Online Art Workshops

Second blog post of the day-

I was surprised to find a copy of Alan's War, which isn't supposed to be published until late October 2008, in a local comic book shop. It's a very interesting memoir, but not quite a work of art.

Three out of five stars.

Speaking of books, Abbey Hendrickson has a set of 3 zines out right now. Book by it's cover blogged about them the other day. Check out Abbey's blog here. I have her book, the bird feeder, and it is one of my treasures. Another Abbey interview here.

I saw Taschen's reprint of Peter Beard's End of the Game last night at Barnes & Noble. I have that one but I really wish they would reprint 50 years of Portraits and make reprints of his previous published books that focus on his journals available at a reasonable cost (not several thousand dollars!!!) I do wonder what this book is that is due out in November.
