Thanks to Fantagraphics

My mini-documentary on Hans Rickheit has gotten nearly 650 hits on YouTube alone. What's surprised me even more is that Fantagraphics, the publisher of Hans' newest book The Squirrel Machine, features the video very prominently on the page where you actually order the book. I am beyond flattered.

Did you miss the video? Click below or visit the Fantagraphics page here. That way, you can watch the video then buy Hans' book.





You can also click here for more information on his already in-progress book tour. My God, they even have one of my quotes on there too! I did get to see him this past weekend in Cambridge and promise to post the photos tomorrow.

Unfortunately, the video doesn't track very well for me. Any chance of transcribing this, along with illustrations? I'm pretty fascinated to hear Hans talk about his process.

Not anytime soon with the video work I have piling up, but I'm thinking of doing a follow-up interview via email with Hans once I've sat down with the book. He had a couple of insights when I saw him at MYP this past weekend.
