Library Journal” is one of the most well-known and respected professional library publications out there, so Julie and I were both very excited when someone sent money for our lil’ zine “Library Bonnet” to the PO box, with a note saying she had read about us in “Library Journal!” (I’d love to know how/where they acquired it, since we did not specifically send them a copy. Maybe we should from now on!) Some friends tracked down the issue for us, and here’s the brief but nice blurb:
“Tommy and Julie are playful enough to make up for a few uptight librarian stereotypes. Filled with gripes, games, and a sometimes twisted sense of humor, this zine is amusing and lighthearted (with dark undertones).” (They also included all the ordering information and website.)
The blurb refers to issue #7, and we’re planning to send issue #8 to Tower Records soon, since we have a little distro deal with them.
In other news, Wonderland #2 comes out this month, so yay! And here’s something else: I’m pencilling Autumn #6, now that the script is finished. It may take a while, since illustrating my own work takes so much time on top of working full time (at the library) and stuff. I’m experimenting with acrylic paints, because I think I may paint the cover of Autumn #6. It’s all trial and error for me, since it’s been about a decade or more since I even TRIED painting anything. Back then, I had NO patience for waiting for the paint to dry, so most of my stuff was all smooshy and blurry, and I’d get very frustrated, and everything looked like a melted rocky road sundae.
Oh, and by the way regarding summer, Comic-Con was fabulous and fun, and then our friend Matt came to visit which was also fun, Anthony and I celebrated our 16th anniversary with a lovely little get-away, and then I started back to work at the school library, which is... whatever, and I've been very busy. Did I mention my dad and stepmom came to visit right before Comic-Con? That was really nice, too. Lots of stuff has been going on. Gotta go, late for work!
