Busy, Busy Matt

Sorry for the lack of new posts. I've been starting up new classes and reading comics furiously for Best American Comics 2010. Best American Comics 2009 is just now hitting bookstores and is getting great reviews. We'll be doing at least one big event in NYC in October, details to follow. We'll also be announcing very soon the new guest editor so stay tuned!

Otherwise, cranking away on DWWP book 2, writing, editing, doing illustrations, planning a staged re-launch of the website... an endless to-do list. Thanks very much to all of you who send us nice mails or tell us in person that you have enjoyed the first book, we need all the moral support we can get to get through this next one.

I'm slowly seeing an end point to Drawn OnwarD, my first major story (32 pages) in several years.

Some interesting travel in coming months which I'll post about later.

And so on and so forth.

Oh, and I am involved in a really exciting book deal which I'm itching to talk about but can't quite yet.
I can however mention that I recently made a book deal for a Brazilian edition of 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style. That will be published by a house called Cosac Naify, a literary and art book publisher--notably, the Brazilian publisher of Queneau's Exercises in Style.

Meantime, follow me on Twitter for updates, off the cuff observations about comics, music, fatherhood, cocktails, and life in NYC. I promise I'm trying to keep the babbling to a minimum.

Hi! I love "99 ways to tell a story" and "Odds Off", I've wroten on my blog a little review about "99 ways" comparing it with some pages of Little Nemo by McCay, I hope you enjoy it, greetings from Italy,
