Even though I got a little sick this weekend, it was a very very nice one. I woke up Saturday and went through old sketches I had scanned in high school and college for any untapped ideas and thought I should get back in the habit of having a sketchbook/journal again. So, I picked up a ruled Van Gogh Moleskine at a nearby stationary store. Also, while out, this book caught my eye, and I couldn’t put it back on the shelf (which is so bizarre, cuz business and job books usually turn me off so thoroughly)!
What also made this weekend great was early Sunday morning, while we were asleep, we made our first sales! Holy cow! We have a series of ACEO cards (the cardinal, owl, peacock and cardinal) up in the shop, made from the watercolor birds I did a little while back. Here’s to many more sales in the future!

This is amazing to go through: an international index of hundreds of covers of H.G. Wells’ iconic book! I love seeing the various interpretations different artists have; some go purely typographic, some give small, subtle hints to the story and themes, while others basically make it so you get everything just from the cover.

When Jack first picked this book up, I wasn’t sure exactly what it was. Was this a fictitious tale of one man’s fantasies, or was this a humorous book of tips. The answer was both and neither. Yes, fantasy is greatly involved here, but this was a true-life telling of Neil Strauss making them come true; going from an AFC (average frustrated chump), to studying with the greatest seducers in the world, and becoming one, himself. The Game is less a point by point how-to guide (if that’s what your seeking then you want The Rules of the Game), though there is valuable information on connecting with people (yes, men and women).
Are you just another AFC (”average frustrated chump”) trying to meet an HB (”hot babe”)? How would you like to “full-close” with a Penthouse Pet of the Year? The answers, my friend, are in Neil Strauss’s entertaining book The Game. Strauss was a self-described chick repellant–complete with large, bumpy nose, small, beady eyes, glasses, balding head, and, worst of all, painful shyness around women. He felt like “half a man.” That is, until a book editor asked him to investigate the community of pickup artists. Strauss’s life was transformed. He spent two years bedding some fine chiquitas and studying with some of the North America’s most suave gents–including the best of them all, the God of the pickup “community,” a man named Mystery.
