i-merge, the advertising agency I work for, also has a Shanghai office. Our art director over there, Anne Ng, has created a very nice illustrated (and animated) story to explain our service model to prospective clients.

I particularly like the scribbly drawings, and the tiny animated touches she’s added to the art. To understand the story, I have to listen to the English version, but the Chinese one just sounds more authentic.

The story is also published as a tiny red book that you can order from i-merge China. Check the website for more details…

Perry Ellis by Matthew Woodson

In 2006 Matthew Woodson created a series of four page comics for Perry Ellis’ 2006 Fall/Winter print advertisements and catalog. The comics appeared in several US men’s magazines and are reprinted on his website, Ghostco.

I can’t help but like his style, which reminds me of A Scanner Darkly. However, Woodson’s own, “free” work that he created for anthologies like Flight and Meathaus is so much stronger. Especially “Tendergrass” is very gripping.

Charles Burns has done the cover for this months issue of The Believer, with portraits of Mira Nair, Thomas Bernhard, Janeane Garofalo, and a tremendous rendition of Scott McCloud’s almost iconic self-portrait.

Michel Gagné’s book “Frenzied Fauna”, an alphabet of off-beat creatures, has been out of print for a while. Oh, well, Michel said, why not just put it online. For free. So go there
