Next up is Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show. In the most recent letter from the editor there is talk about Peter Beagle doing an all new short story and interview for the next issue. I'll definitely keep everyone updated on when the issue arrives online. I've never read anything by Beagle, though The Last Unicorn always seems to be on my list and i saw in this letter that he recently wrote a sequel to The Last Unicorn called Two Hearts which is a novelette that won the Hugo for best novelette and is also nominated for the Nebula.
Neil Gaiman has announced his new corporation website by the name of The Blank Corporation which looks to be very cool. Not alot is up there yet, but the site is still great already.
And finally, Endicott Studio's did a great little short article on one of my favorite artists, Mark Ryden. Ryden's work is extremely commercial yet there's so much meaning and hidden details in his paintings. I just love the look of his stuff so much. It can be so bright, set so somber and sinister at the same time. If by any chance anyone from Los Angeles reads this, I recommend that you go to his exhibition called the Tree Show at the Michael Kohn gallery from now until April 28th.

Mark Ryden is an artist whose work I both appreciate and loathe. I think he is extremely talented and some of his work I really like...and others just make me feel too yucky. It is some of the most interesting and unique artwork out there though. His book, Blood (I think is what it is called), is one of the best examples of limited edition books done right. The presentation, the case it comes in, the extras that come with it...it is amazing. Its on his site, or used to be, if you haven't seen it.
Yeah, he can go kind of overboard sometimes and what makes it so disturbing is the childlike pop quality that so many of his paintings have.
