Sarah Glidden — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:09:32 +0000

Some early reviews are in from people who have read the black and white advance copies of the book!

There's this one from Publisher's Weekly:

And then they have very nice things to say about the book on the Savage Critic podcast, as well as great things about my friends Aaron Renier and Julia Wertz's new books. Aaron's is first at about six minutes in:

8 Days Out

Sarah Glidden — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:31:15 +0000

A few years ago I made a sketchbook travelogue called 8 Days Out which followed my brother and my trip from New York to LA as he was moving out west. It was an 80 page minicomic which I made about 50 copies of and afterwards decided I probably would not print again since its expensive/time consuming. But I'd love to share it in a more manageable form, so if you would like to read the whole thing its now up in the comics section of this website in its entirety here:

A Preview and a Clarification

Sarah Glidden — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 16:58:54 +0000

Over on the Vertigo blog they've put up a short post on the use of the term "graphic novel" when referring to a memoir along with a three page preview from the book.

Done!

I've been working on this book for three years and now the final page of artwork is finally finished! There's still odds and ends to tie up, but the meat of the thing is done. Hooray!

Poetry is Not a Project

Sarah Glidden — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:32:11 +0000

I did a series of illustrations for a new essay chapbook by Dorothea Lasky, published by Ugly Duckling Presse. The cover illustration will also be printed onto tote bags by Ugly Duckling for an upcoming book fest. I'll put information here about ordering those if theyre available. For now, you can go to the Ugly Duckling Presse website and peruse their beautiful catalogue of poetry and art books!

Interview on KBOO

Sarah Glidden — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 17:02:23 +0000

A few months ago Alec Longstreth and I did an interview for Words and Pictures on KBOO in Portland. Well, Alec was in Portland, I was on my cellphone pacing around the studio. We talked about the Israel comic, the Syncopated anthology and other things.

Heres the link...I had to download it and play it on VLC to make it work but maybe you'll have better luck with the sites streaming audio:
