ReplyDeleteExcellent news, Andrei -- congratulations to you and all the contributors.
ReplyDeleteWhoo whoo whoo! Fabulous Andrei --- YOU most of all deserve it (although I think all we contributors are grand!) --- all the work and thought that went in to it --- even the mere fact of believing it could occur and making it happen!
ReplyDeleteThanks, everybody!
ReplyDeleteMark, you're totally right. When I make something myself, I'm pretty used to first imagining it and then seeing come into existence--but when I first imagined the anthology around 2004, its eventual, actual existence seemed improbable in the extreme. But somehow a pipe dream became reality. I'm still stunned that it actually happened.
wauw Andrei! Gefeliciteerd!!!
ReplyDeleteGo Abstract Comics! Go Andrei, thanks for making it happen!
ReplyDeletewow.
ReplyDeleteAndrei, I truly admire the fact that you make things happen! As we both know, there are tons of great ideas out there; I hear about them regularly. But you suggested this and THEN brought it about --- and it is beautiful! Most people are too easily discouraged. As my father used to say, "done is at least half" --- making and finishing such a book is amazing even beyond the good idea it was in the first place. Congratulations! I hope you (we) win!
ReplyDeletegreat news indeed ! thanks for all andrei, and to all, fellow contributors !
ReplyDeleteI send you laurel leaves of victory
ReplyDeleteAndrei and thanks for including my work. I remember the day you pitched the book to Gary Groth at SPX and you were so prepared and just INTO IT that he couldn't say no. BADASS!
