I am leaving this morning very early.
I am driving up to San Francisco for 5 days, taking my son back to begin his second semester at UC Berkeley.
Next year, in early 2013, my book Winger will finally be published (by David Gale at Simon and Schuster).
When I wrote the book, I did
The narrator is quite a creative guy. He likes to draw comic book panels and charts and shit like that to explain what's going on inside his head.
He kind of reminds me of someone I know, but I can't think of who, exactly.
Anyway, I never intended my artwork to be used in the published version of the book, because, well... you see I'm not really an "in-the-lines" kind of artist, and I just thought that a real artist could do it better.
Thankfully, Simon and Schuster agreed.
Meet Sam Bosma.
Sam is the guy who is set to illustrate Winger.
Take a look at his work, it's pretty amazing.
Sam Bosma is an illustrator.
By the way, I might be gone for a while if you need me.

Oh hell yes. His stuff looks incredible. Can't wait to see it in Winger.
I don't have many of those "Ahh OMFG" moments, but opening Sam's site was one of them.
His art is like high-quality clip art come alive.
I am overcome with excitement that WINGER will be a work of arts.
Great writing coupled with some jaw-dropping "outside the box" illustrations will make Winger fantastic.
I'm with Matthew and Jon: "Oh hell yes. OMFG."
WINGER was amazing already (simply because you wrote it), now its incredibility will increase. :)
Have fun at Berkeley. (wonderful university!)
Hard to believe vacation is over and he's going back to Berkeley already. The picture on facebook was beautiful.
Ditto on "oh hell yes." Winger is going to have a great look. Can't wait to see how his art complements your story.
