San Diego: PictureBox

PictureBox

If you haven’t heard, Brooklyn-based publisher PictureBox is putting out some of the most innovative and interesting comic and art books nowadays, including the gorgeous two-volume retrospective of Gary Panter’s work. Next year, they’re releasing what is shaping up to be one of the must-have animation books of the year. And I’m not just saying this because I’m the editor of the project. This book is about one of the most influential figures in contemporary animation, and everybody involved is working hard to ensure that it turns out properly. If you want to hear more about the project, drop by the PictureBox booth (#1630) in San Diego and chat with publisher Dan Nadel. He’ll be glad to fill you in, and he may even have a few pieces of artwork from the book on display.

    A book dedicated to John Hubley is something I’d buy. When do you plan on dropping the beans?

    It’s John K, and it’s about damn time! I hope it’s exploding at the seams with art like John wants! I’m confident it will be a must have with a great independent publisher and Amid at the helm! Oh and did I say I’m looking forward to it? :)

    Thanks, Mike. Yeah, I’d be happy with a John K. book too. I’ll read it while waiting for the Hubley tome. :-)

    Sounds cool…Hope that it includes some of the internet ads that John K. has done lately (great colors and design) as well as his takes on the HB characters (Huck, Yogi, Jetsons).

  • COMMENT OF THE MOMENT

    "I was one of the writers on the show. Very odd experience. For starters, there was no head writer. They just hired 8 writers, threw them into a conference room and told them to work out what the show was going to be amongst themselves. And then we were asked to give each other suggestions about our scripts which nobody had to follow and most didn’t..."
