Snow Glass Apples Wins Bram Stoker Award, Nominated for Two Ringo Awards, and Society of Illustrators Exhibit.

I do most of my posting at my Patreon these days, so I completely forgot to add some cool news here. I am very happy to announce that in addition to the 2020 Eisner Award for Best Adaptation from Another Medium, Neil Gaiman’s Snow Glass Apples has received the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Graphic Novel from the Horror Writers Association. I grant this the Coolest Looking Award Ever Award.

And here’s the Eisner. Nice Bookends!

It’s surprisingly heavy.

I was nominated for Best Penciler/Inker at the Eisners as well, and also received a nomination from the National Cartoonist Society for the Silver Reuben for Best Graphic Novel. Was truly honored by this!

We’ve also received a nomination for Best Graphic Novel at the Ringo Awards, and I have been nominated for Best Artist. Professionals may vote until September 23.

Original art from Snow, Glass, Apples is featured in the exhibit Women in Comics: Looking Forward, Looking Back at the Society of Illustrators Museum in New York City until October 26. The exhibit features this full wall display of my art from Wonder Woman 750, as well as other art by great creators like Trina Robbins, Nell Brinkley, and Ramona Fradon.

I’m thrilled and honored to be a part of this important museum exhibit.

I have three graphic novel projects on my plate, as well as a short story, and am financing the finale of A Distant Soil on my Patreon. For obvious reasons, I won’t be traveling for awhile, and I hope to get my general World Events Nerves under control so I can focus on all the beautiful books I am working on.

Because my work schedule is so heavy and I need to concentrate, I’ve also cut back on mail order products. I won’t be handling anything other than A Distant Soil books on this website for the forseeable future. My agent will be setting up other venues to get autographed books from me, and of course, at varying levels of support on my Patreon, you may also receive books and art.

I’m truly grateful for all my good fortune, so many great projects, and your kind support. It’s a great privilege to be able to create for you!

Stay safe! I care about you!
