Ah! I just looked at your website and saw that you have no formal artistic education or training at all. That makes me so incredibly satisfied. I’ve had years of that junk, and it gets no one, anywhere — besides grovelling at the feet of the rich foke with a detailed curriculum vitae and vague comments about surface art theory. I think the days are coming soon when self-taught will be paramount. Again.

Ah. Well, cool. I’m not into any of it really, which has nothing to do with you, or the merit of your project, but more with my general boredom with most things that people do nowadays.

Ironic that I’ve just started reading Moby Dick, after my read every Cormac McCarthy book this week phase. Perhaps all that shit is in the air, like a disease, infecting us all. You should take on The Brothers Karamazov next.

I will check out your blog and the various links you have provided. Good luck with your projects and remember, Creating is better than Suffering.

Absolutely right. In fact, Zak’s project was a huge part of what motivated me to do this, and I was sure to namecheck him and link to him in the very third entry on my blog. Full credit where it’s due.

Zak is also working on doing one illustration for every page of Cormac McCarthy’s “Blood Meridian” together with artists Shawn Cheng, Matt Wiegle, John Mejias, Sean McCarthy, and Craig Taylor. I made sure to give all of them full credit and links on my blog.

That “Blood Meridian” project seems to be on the backburner for the moment, but you can see the amazing work they have already done on Shawn Cheng’s site, http://www.shawncheng.com/bloodmeridian. Definitely worth a long look.

Zak Smith already did this for Gravity’s Rainbow…
