Skim News

Hello, there is Skim news.

Skim has been awarded a 2008 New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Books Award. Holy. Crap. See other entries here in this slideshow. (As a tiny aside, there's that weird "is a comic really an 'illustrated book'?" dilemma again...)

Skim was reviewed in the New York Times Book Review today.

Skim has also was listed as one of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2008.

Skim will be released in the UK by Walker Books.

Skim is available for sale. Buy Skim.

I am also kinda, sorta, not really in this book, about the history of Illustration. My portrait of Wang ZhiZhi is featured on inside and back, but I'm not featured or anything. It's an interesting book though. And by gods Heller and Chwast, so I'll take what I can get.
