Even More Squirrel Goodness
So we made it to Powell's and I had to use a great deal of self control, since we just got rid of so many books before the move. BUT I could not resist this:
Really? REALLY!?! Perfection. True to its name, it is A Really Super Book About Squirrels.
Tomorrow we're heading up to Seattle for Emerald City Comicon. It will be Drew Heaven.
I haven't mentioned this yet, but Drew is one of the contributors to Comic Book Tattoo, an upcoming anthology from Image Comics based on the songs of Tori Amos. Drew wrote the piece and Kevin Mellon did the art. I'm really proud of him and I'm sure I will write more about this when the anthology is released (I believe in July).
Off to work!!
Happy Friday!
ohmygod powells! how i miss portland! I can't wait to hear more about the comic sounds interesting.

your boo was a joy to work with, and he wrote a great story. i look forward to more people than just us having read it.

Congrats both on the move (love Portland) and to Drew....very very amazing.
Thanks Ashley for being so cool and providing nods to cool things!

It's funny how small worldish the internet can seem sometimes. I only just found about Comic Book Tattoo a couple of days ago and proceeded to mark the release date in my organiser.
That's really cool that Drew is involved.
