Hi Everyone,

  My dear friend, and mega-talented artist and writer, Jeremy Baum recently released his new graphic novel, "Dörfler", through Fantagraphics Books, which I've gotten to read today, and it's a beautiful book which I'd like to recommend. An 8-page excerpt can be read at Fantagraphics' website and for those not yet familiar with Jeremy's drawings, many samples of the mind-blowing artwork from the book can be seen at his dA gallery

Look Straight Ahead
 By Elaine M. Will Simply put, one of the best books I've ever read:

 Jeremy Knowles is a 17-year-old outcast who dreams of being a great artist. But when he suffers a severe mental breakdown brought on by bullying and other pressures at school, his future is called into question, as is his very existence. Can he survive the experience through the healing power of art? And just what does it mean to be "crazy," anyway?

 You can read it here at dA, or at Elaine's website: blog.e2w-illustration.com/ And you can now pre-order the print copy from any comic book shop. To buy a copy online: lookstraightahead.bigcartel.co… and plan B: www.amazon.com/Look-Straight-A…

Questions:
1.  What's the strangest dream you've ever had that you are comfortable telling?
I usually don't remember what I dream, but as far as I can tell, they tend to be quite mundane.

2.  Who's the most beautiful person you've ever seen?
I don't know.

3.  What's the first movie you've ever seen in a theater?
The earliest memory I have of seeing a movie in a theater was the "Masters of the Universe" movie, with Dolph Lundgren. This must have been in the late 80s. And I remember walking away from the theater with my family, during the end credits, and turning my head back to see the screen, because one of the characters (Skeletor) appeared again on screen for a brief moment. I thought it was so cool that they would do that.

4.  If you could live in any time, what would it be?
Now.

5.  Who do you think the most overrated musician alive today is?
No idea.

6.  What's your favorite drink?
Coffee. The drink of champions!

7.  What's your favorite kind of weather?
I like all seasons, though I do have a bit of an almost Aztec-like devotion for the sun.

8.  If you could put one kind of curse or hex on any person, what would it be?
I would not.

9.   Is Pluto a planet or a moon?
I've heard that it is a planet, but now that you are asking, I don't know.

10.  If you could be in any movie, what would it be?
None, I would prefer to be behind the cameras in my own movie projects.


Rules:
1. You must post these rules.
2. Answer the questions the tagger set for you, and create new questions for the people you tag to answer.

I tag no one, but if you want to do it, go ahead! As for the questions, same as above:
