The Winter/Holiday Issue of
Alimentum: The Literature of Food is in my hands and looks grand. All my spot art printed just dandy! The ink line (scanned) and pencil smudge (via photoshop) turned into a real live journal and I am walking around the apartment with that aren't I something glow. My spouse reminds me I need to vet a job proposal and think about what I want for dinner. As if such things could interrupt my cloud, my cloudia of euphoria. It is also fine to discover this issue is sold out wherever I go. The cover, which I didn't draw but did design--picking very cherry pie colors for the issue--looks yummy.
Also I did the small deconstruction of the slice of pie on the back, turning the cover's whole pie slice into a single cherry in 4 steps that hopefully won't annoy the artist
Marilyn Murphy. When the next delivery of the magazines arrives at my local independent bookseller (
Book Culture) I will buy them as holiday gifts. Because as nice as some of my small illustrations are, the real charm is the content,
Alimentum is simply a good read. See, the dancing fruitcakes are happy!
