Above is my submission for Giant Robot's Year of the Dragon exhibit, opening this Saturday at GR2 (with a reception from 6:30-10pm). Ink and screentone on series 400 bristol, framed (6.75 x 9"), $300. Please call 310-445-9276 to purchase. Show closes February 15.
SO Michael Kenny loaned me his copy of Gods, Men and Monsters from the Greek Myths last year. The illustrations in this book, by Giovanni Caselli, are tremendous. Highly detailed, though not boring, Caselli's drawing style reminds me of Eric Shanower's work on his own Age of Bronze comics.
There was a book signing at Family last Thursday for Kramers Ergot 8. At this event I was able to meet and chat with many well-known, accomplished cartoonists, including Tim Hensley (Wally Gropius, Fantagraphics, 2010). Speaking with Hensley, looking at his work again and watching him draw was the highlight of my evening.

Nezha Nao Hai, or Nezha Riots the Seas (China, 1979) is a great animated film about a boy who descends from heaven to battle dragons. You can see it here (with English subtitles):
