I am REALLY loving your posts on Lovecraft! Thank you so much for sharing them! I was wondering if there was any criticism on Lovecraft you particularly liked or found useful? Or any reading in general that you found illuminating on Lovecraft and his themes? No pressure to answer this if you're lacking time/energy/inspiration 💖 Thank you again for the wonderful analysis!

aw, thank you! i made a post about lovecraft crit i found useful here, but as for individual articles:

“love of knowledge is a kind of madness”: competing platonisms in the universes of c.s. lewis and h.p. lovecraft, guilliame bogiaris

classical antiquity and the timeless horrors of h.p. lovecraft, robinson peter krämer

landscapes, selves, and others in lovecraft, robert h. waugh

lovecraft at the automat, j.m. tyree

“hearken...i can tell you the whole story”: monologues and confessions in the early work of h.p. lovecraft and edgar allen poe, alex houston

slime and modern man: h.p. lovecraft in the time of modernism, nicola allen & gerry carlin

the artist as antaeus: lovecraft and modernism, norman gayford

are all pieces i’ve read and found useful/interesting. the first one is especially fascinating! as for other reading i found illuminating, i’d recommend kij johnson’s the dream-quest of velitt boe, victor lavalle’s the ballad of black tom, and ruthanna emrys’ winter tide series in terms of lovecraftian fiction that really takes a critical approach to the canon and makes you think in different ways about the original stories. all are part homage, part deconstruction, and wholly excellent. also, if you want to dig into the context of lovecraft’s literary moment, i’d suggest that you read joseph conrad, t.s. eliot, f. scott fitzgerald, w.b. yeats, lord dunsany, john keats (+ tennyson and the shelleys), m.r. james, algernon blackwood, r.w. chambers, and edgar allen poe.

May

Just a short strip this month, since I was working on longer projects. I’m now working on a third comic in this same vein (the first one is here) and they all feel...off somehow. Like I’m missing the mark. Not sure what I mean beyond that, or how to fix it. I’ll have to think about this more.

The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O’Connor, ed. Sally Fitzgerald

The Complete Stories of Flannery O’Connor - Worth reading through this entire book in a relatively small period of time to notice some interesting patterns in these stories. For example, many of the best O’Connor stories end in death or some other great tragedy. So at a certain point each new story becomes imbued with a sense of dread and foreboding, even before she establishes that tone (or doesn’t) in the text of a story itself.

A Bigger Message: Conversations with David Hockney, Martin Gayford - Very inspired by Hockney’s ability to evolve and make interesting art into his 70s. Also his Polaroid work is definitely comics.

We Told You So: Comics as Art, Tom Spurgeon and Michael Dean

Don’t feel like I have much to say this month. No notable insights, no interesting anecdotes...

I made a concerted effort to stay off social media in the past several weeks. In part just because I felt that I needed a break, in part because I was detoxing in preparation for a Kickstarter I’m co-launching on Monday. I did...alright in terms of staying off. Not as well as I’d hope but a noticeable decrease. It was nice. It’s always nice when I do this, though of course being online is nice too.

The Kickstarter will be interesting. It’s for Warmer, an anthology of comics about climate change that I coedited with Madeleine Witt. For my own work I make a conscious effort to be very minimal and unobtrusive in self-promoting - maybe not a good decision but my preference for various reasons. That’s not feasible for a Kickstarter where my coeditor and the contributors are relying on me. So the promotion will be a bit of a learning experience. It’s much easier when you have a co-editor who holds your feet to the fire. Encouraging each other to step outside our comfort zones. Protecting ourselves from easy or lazy decisions.

Editing the anthology was a real pleasure. I felt bad in many cases about asking people for edits on a book that paid very little, but it’s also clear that changes to individual pieces as well as careful sequencing of the final book both made a big difference. Everyone was extremely nice and accommodating about the edits as well, which was flattering. I enjoyed this problem-solving aspect of the process very much. Ideally any finesse or cleverness in our editing should be invisible on the first read, but become clear in subsequent readings.

In terms of my own work, I now have two big projects done, or almost done. They both could be printed books, maybe, but I’m being careful not to rush towards that decision. Not everything deserves to exist in print, especially if I’m printing it myself. Drafts of two short stories finished as well, both drawn in a day or two.

I also visited some galleries this month, which I should do more often. I’m just far more used to engaging with art in a book from the comfort of my home than in a public space. As a result I’m always on the lookout for cheap art books and/or art books with minimal text. Largely without success on both fronts. Anyways, on these visits I brought a sketchbook with me and made sure to take photos, both aimed at getting more out of the experience. I enjoyed it, definitely benefitted As An Artist, though I can’t help but feel self-conscious drawing or even taking notes in public. Maybe that will go away if I make myself do it more often. Also, Sturgeon’s law definitely applies here...

Lots of reading this month as I try to build up my creative energy. Careful, initial thoughts about my next big projects. Though not many thoughts about my reading that I feel like writing down at the moment! It does seem to be working, though - doing a short comic based on an O’Connor story. She’s a complicated and interesting woman.

New Zealand Prime Minister Ardern gives birth to baby girl

WELLINGTON (Reuters) – New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern gave birth to her first child, a girl, on Thursday, Ardern said in a posting on Instagram.

Ardern, 37, became New Zealand’s youngest prime minister when she took office through a coalition deal last year after an inconclusive election, and now becomes the first woman in the country’s history to give birth while in office.

“Welcome to our village wee one,” Ardern wrote on Instagram.

“Feeling very lucky to have a healthy baby girl that arrived at 4.45 pm weighing 3.31 kg (7.3 lb) … We’re all doing really well thanks to the wonderful team at Auckland City Hospital.”

She posted a picture of herself, smiling and holding the baby in a woollen blanket, with her partner, television presenter Clarke Gayford.

Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters has stepped in as acting prime minister and will run the country for the next six weeks while Ardern takes maternity leave, according to an agreement they published earlier.

Ardern is one of the few elected leaders to hold office while pregnant. Pakistan’s Benazir Bhutto gave birth while she was prime minister in 1990.

The public has generally been supportive of the popular Ardern.

New Zealand has long had a progressive reputation and was the first country to give women the right to vote in 1893 and Ardern is the country’s third female prime minister.

Congratulations quickly flooded in from around the world and across the political spectrum.

‘PROUD DAY’

New Zealand’s first women prime minister, Helen Clark, wrote on Twitter: “What a proud day … gender quality in action. This is 21st C(entury) NZ.”

Ardern found out she was pregnant on Oct. 13, just six days before she was propelled into the job when Peters, the leader of the New Zealand First Party, announced he was siding with her Labour Party in post-election negotiations.

Peters is a colorful political veteran who first entered Parliament in 1978 and has held senior positions in both center-left Labour and center-right National governments.

Ardern had played down the chances of any disruption arising from her absence, saying she and Peters would be in regular contact.

“There actually hasn’t really been a need to put down a plan … We already talk about significant issues, that will just continue, we’ll just be in different roles,” she said in a interview with Fairfax media just before going on maternity leave.

Ardern has said she plans to return to work at the beginning of August.

Then, Gayford will take care of the baby and will travel with Ardern between their Auckland home and the capital, Wellington, as well on international engagements.

Ardern worked until late into her pregnancy, regularly encountering members of the public who touched her stomach and passed on gifts such as ‘onesies’ and miniature rain boots, known as “gumboots”.

“It’s been great,” she told reporters at her last major public event before giving birth.

“New Zealanders are incredibly generous people and have been generous in their support of me regardless of the politics just as another human being going into a new stage of life.”
