I was proud to be the colorist of Cece Bell's "El Deafo" even before it started winning awards. It's a truthful, funny memoir of Cece's childhood, and helps readers understand what it can be like to live with hearing loss.

I'm extra proud that it has been named a Newbery Honor Book (so it will now have a silver medal printed on its covers!). And today I learned that it has been nominated for two of comics' Eisner Awards. Congratuations to Cece Bell, my amazing friend!

I was the colorist for the Newbery Honor Book "El Deafo" by Cece Bell, a graphic novel memoir of growing up with hearing loss. I highly recommend it to all ages...

Frank Young and I have just finished work on a graphic novel about the Carter Family -- the "First Family of Country Music." Look for it in October from Abrams Comicarts!
