If I was in Bristol, I'd do this...

See Dale Jett (who is the grandson of A.P.) and Wayne Henderson with A.P. Carter's Martin guitar!

I am told by Ron McConnell (who heard from Dave Lewis) that the Birthplace of Country Music Museum's Carter Family exhibition can only be seen until the end of this month.

Fantagraphics Bookstore Recap

I've been meaning to write about our signings at the Fantagraphics Bookstore in Seattle, and Village Books in Bellingham, but real life has gotten in the way.

Janice at Fantagraphics wrote a really nice post about our Seattle signing for their FLOG, so I'm going to share the link...

And some photos from the event:

Kelly Froh gossips with Mike and Janice.

Frank Young, David Lasky, Noah Van Sciver.

Original art was displayed on the store's gallery wall!

Dennis Driscoll played a selection of Carter Family songs and his own songs (ending with a rap!) to a star-studded audience.  

Today was (I think) the last day to see the original art displayed at the Fantagraphics Bookstore.  The book is still available there and at many other bookstores.  What a nice holiday gift it would make! :)

Lots more photos from the Fantagraphics Bookstore signing can be seen here...

Thanks all who attended!!

"Carter Family" original art on display; Seattle and Gainesville

Original art from "The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song" is currently on display at the Fantagraphics Bookstore in Seattle, WA.  The exhibition, sharing the gallery wall with art from Noah Van Sciver's "Young Lincoln" graphic novel, continues through Nov. 22.

On December 7, a completely different show of art from the book goes on display at the Sequential Artists Workshop (SAW) in Gainesville, FL.
