In fun news, it looks like "Sheldon" and I are one of the featured interviews in Scott Kirsner's new book, Fans, Friends and Followers: Building an Audience and a Creative Career in the Digital Age. Happily, I'm in pretty good company: The book also interviews the Brothers Chaps of "Homestar Runner", the folks behind "JibJab" and "Red v. Blue", and two dozen other independent filmmakers and musicians.

Scott asked insightful, well-thought-out questions: It's always nice to see a journalist and author really grok how creative work is being carved out by independent artists online. There is life after the "mass" has been taken out of "mass media". :)

And, having just seen the final book, I'm happy to say it's going to be a great read.

A++ would recommend read again.

Just a quick note to say that I'll be appearing April 25th & 26th at the Los Angeles Festival of Books at the Image Comics booth.

If you're in the greater SoCal area, I'd really encourage you to come out. It's a huuuuuge event on the UCLA campus with gobs of your favorite authors. More info to come, but mark your calendars!

Also: I'll have a bigger blog post about this on Monday...but this coming weekend I'll be appearing as a special guest of Emerald City Comicon! I'll be there both days! As will you, I'm sure -- as this is pretty much my favorite convention in the U.S! Make plans to come on out and receive your official Emerald City Comicon 2009 High Five. Limited Quantity of 48.
