Fall09 is for Sketchbooks II and some updates

HoundSketch
Acrylic Paint, Microns, Brush Pen, and a little Ball-Point Pen

A few updates about my current projects that I've been getting some questions about:

Firstly, I've been invited to participate in the Fantagraphics comics anthology, Mome. This is a big honor, and I'm super-excited and proud.
BUT, it won't be any time soon. I have a couple of stories written, but I won't have time to draw them until late this year/early next year. Thanks to everyone who has shown interest and encouragement though. I really appreciate it, and I'll definitely let everyone know which issues I'll be in when the time comes.

My book with Secret Acres has been delayed (by me) and won't be out until the Fall of 2010 (most likely SPX 2010).
The book is a collection of mini-comic and anthology comics from the last few years. I'm redrawing a lot of it and there will be a couple brand new stories. It's really coming together and I think it'll be worth the wait.

I'm currently (still) working on a biography of Helen Keller for the CCS Presents series of biographies, published by Hyperion Books. It should come out sometime next year also.

Again, thanks for the interest you guys have shown. I appreciate it and I'll keep you posted as things progress.
