Alison Bechdel working on a graphic novel.Bechdel uses a digital camera on herself to create references for what she draws. Interesting technique. (There's a link to a better version of the video in the comments)
Raina Telegemeier, creator of Smile, is going to be huge this year when her graphic novel adaptation of the young-adult prose novel The Babysitter’s Club comes out. You can catch an interview with her from March here.
Is it possible to get Youtube to not suck? I can't watch the clip. It stops just after the freeze spell. No amount of refreshing will get it to load past that point. In fact, I've never been able to ever get a single Youtube video to play completely to the end without locking up.
All the other Youtube links there are running okay, though. It might be an anti-hotlinking thing: Alison's video link looks as if it goes straight to the video file, while the others go to regular webpages.
The Powells Books site has what looks like the same video in mpeg format. It's 50 flippin' megs, though, so pretty much broadband-only.
