Reality-Based Nominee

Late last night I checked my email and found a happy if strangely formal note from Kim Thompson of Fantagraphics Books:

“I am pleased to inform you that I LOVE LED ZEP has been nominated for a 2007 Eisner Award in the ‘Best Reality-Based Work’ category.”

He then went on to say I had to keep mum about it until today, when the nominations were officially announced. It’s a big honor – the Eisners are kind of like the Oscars of comics. (Go ahead, Ma, you can tell people now!)

“Artwork that goes for the groin” lead me toward your artwork and curiousity got me digging deeper to You. I love the “hand” paintings. Also have to say…You’re cute! smiles~ As one artist says to another, Art is the imagination expressed through the senses.

Congrats on your nomination! Keep your head in equal size thou! smiles~
