Good morning. It remains quiet here as we continue to watch multiple genocides unfold. It feels flippant to say almost. In the same way it feels flippant to talk about comics or work or anything else you or I or anyone has going on. But the gears don’t stop, the world doesn’t stop so maybe this is where you take a breath.
Austin English has been awarded a $1500 grant from Koyama Provides. English is a cartoonist and writer who runs the publishing house Domino Press. English also teaches comics and drawing and is the co-managing editor of The Comics Journal. Annie Koyama, Koyama Provides operator and patron, gave praise to Austin, stating “Austin has introduced me to the work of several talented artists over the years via his publishing company, Domino Books. He certainly has helped many artists get their work out by distributing a ton of small press books and zines. He is an unsung hero for a lot of authors without a larger distribution system available to them. Austin also somehow finds time to work on his own titles, which you should really check out.”
Overdrive’s Big Library Read, a free, global, digital book club facilitated by Libby and Sora, continues with Artie and the Wolf Moon by Ignatz award winning graphic novelist, writer and illustrator, Olivia Stephens. Artie and the Wolf Moon is a middle-grade werewolf graphic novel and is available with no waitlists or holds until November 16th.
That’s all for this week. Be safe out there friends.
