    I have The Hallowed Seam (PR3) and Fables Covers.
    The Hallowed Seam is awesome for seeing all his rough moleskine sketches and some small painting-sketches. I like it a lot. The book just feels substantial. One of my favorites.

    Fables Covers I think is even better though. It's all his covers from the Fables comic book series in large sorta glossy prints. It also has the pencils which are extraordinary, and commentary about process. I'm not sure if you can find any of the commentary-stuff in other books; Hallowed Seam has none.

    The Fables Covers book is going for $'arm + leg' right now (200+ on Amazon used, WTF!!1one) which is crazy, but I heard that it is getting a reprint in October. I'd wait around til then.

    I'm sure you're aimed at one particular group, but I see just as much ignorance and rage in response to a news report focusing on one side of the pond as the other, always from the opposing side. No one can point at someone who farted and proclaim "My farts don't stink."

    Stephen Fry wrote something in one of his columns addressing this particular phenomenon, and summerised it with his usual flourish of clever word-workery.

    I think the more mainstream the site, the worse the comments/message boards are.

    For example: Yahoo, CNN, Youtube: horrible.

    Autoblog, Joystiq: Not quite as bad.

    Welcome to California Beavo. Don't forget to try to get over to The Getty before the Gerome show is over (it ends on the 12th of September).

    what part of cali are you in? we should maybe have some visits?
    I have a vehicle.
    I'm living in Beverly Hills, but am doing a course in Burbank, I'd love to check out one of the ateliers though.

    I live in Encinitas (San Diego). I grew up in the beach cities of LA though. Actually, if you want to come check out Watts Atelier (it's in Encinitas) at some point James Gurney is going to be doing some lectures and demos here on the 15th of October (or at least this is my understanding, there hasn't been an official announcement). That might be a good day to check it out.

    I go up to LA a lot because my family is all up there, and I have to regularly take out my dad's old chevy to keep it running. Though honestly I don't go out to Burbank or Beverly Hills often. I do need to check out CDA at some point though. Maybe we can meet up for lunch one of these days at Philippe's or something.

    I never listen to all of my music if I have 500 albums. I do long drives frequently and I like listening to things on shuffle, so I'm sure I'd end up skipping a bunch of music if I had 500 albums. I recently bought a 16gb ZuneHD and couldn't be happier. It holds a lot more music than I'm used to, and is super easy to navigate.

    Is $226 Canadian dollars? Cause according to the keynote, it's only $149. Or $179 for the big one. Which would only be $7 more than the Zune.

    My school's art program sucks. If someone wants to get an art degree they have to take a shitton of beginning classes at the local community college (they have a partnership), which ALWAYS are incompatible with any other classes I want to take. Their language selection is crappy too.

    But of course, both Microsoft and Apple are trumped by the good people of China.

    2.8" LCD Touch Screen MP4/AVI/RM/RMVB Player with FM Radio (4GB Internal + SD) - $34.54

    (Which is surreal, since it's all made in China anyway. I've seen big name products that were hundreds of dollars, then the exact same product without the logo for merely dozens of dollars.)
