A hearty congratulations to Janine for her second book, Work/Life:the UPPERCASE directory of Canadian Illustration & Photography

Small and Round: Jeremiah Ketner

The cover of Beyond Issue 14: Possible Worlds is a thing of beauty - a front and back wrap around painting by Jeremiah Ketner.  I never get tired of looking at it. It makes me happy. His new Small and Round website is also a thing of beauty. Go. Look.

Drawings for New York Periodicals

"Adam Baumgold Gallery presents a recent series of original comic drawings by Chris Ware "Drawings for New York Periodicals," from February 1 through March 15, 2008. The 40 drawings in the exhibition include the complete 30 weekly drawings comprising one chapter of the in-progress book "Building Stories" which inaugurated the "Funny Pages" in The New York Times Sunday magazine in 2005. In addition, the exhibition will feature the four different Thanksgiving cover drawings that were published simultaneously by The New Yorker in 2006 as well as the fifth cover that was released only online by The New Yorker. Other drawings by Chris Ware done specifically for the New Yorker will also appear in the exhibition."

Well, we haven't been here in a while. We're turning a little stack of index cards, into a little paper filled with tiny thumbnail views of what will soon be another 68 pages of goodness. Coming as soon as we raise the money for the next print bill, Issue 16: Small. Feel free to subscribe, donate, or jump in at the face and the book to give us your content and fundraising ideas.

View the The Shatner Show trailer.

We want to give a galaxy sized "Hurray!" to Beyond designer Janine Vangool and the Uppercase Gallery. This Friday marks the opening of The Shatner Show , "a book and exhibition of artwork depicting William Shatner by artists and illustrators from Canada and the US."

We have seen previews and are overcome with much Shatner joy. We are beaming in that "Beam me up Scotty!" way. This is a beautiful piece of work. We hope this is only the beginning of many Uppercase books to come.

Go ahead and buy a copy before they all disappear. If you can still get a thrill from whooshing of the bridge doors, you must own this wonderful book.

The Captain's Blog is the place for all things Shatner this week. Follow along and pick out your favorite Shatner-ati while singing "ahhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhh's" at the top of your lungs.

Our friend, illustrator Aaron Leighton, writes of his interactive Emmy adventure in Cannes. My favorite part includes the phrase "Back at our hotel.." and has the words "toothbrush", "champagne", and "cockroach" in it.
