NY Mag put up a bunch of pages here! And there's a super great write up... "Sure, being a Valkyrie is great — you live on your own planet, you control all war and conflict among the human race, you get to have sex with Cochise the Apache chief. But sometimes a girl just needs to get away, you know? Lauren R. Weinstein's new graphic novel is a wild and fanciful vision of the day the goddess of war decides to take a personal day. The deluxe, oversize paperback of The Goddess of War — filled with both clever line drawings and gorgeous etchings — comes out in August from Picturebox."
Also, the window installation for Desert Island is finally up and the party is today from 4-7. I haven't gotten a really good picture of it yet, but the results have been amazing, people from all over the hood continue to drop off little characters, so many that they spilled out onto another display on the wall. On Friday I came in to help Gabe put the figures in place, and there was a steady stream of hipsters coming in and saying, "dig the hand, dude." Leslie Stein came in and we hid on the floor gluing and cutting and talking about boys. Then two beautiful cyclist hip environmental girls came in and made figures. We talked about Portland, Seattle, composting, and creative hang -ups. Before I knew it it was 8. I think I want to spend all my time in the store making little figurines with people and talking. It's a nice environment. Then I wouldn't have to confront the massive deadlines that lay ahead...
