Photo History #5 Justin and Jin
These are my friends Justin Howe and his wife Jin in South Korea with their creature poster. We met Justin & Jin in Easthampton, MA. I owned a tiny little used bookstore called the Papercut there for two years, and Justin was one of my biggest supporters during that time. We got to know them, and Jin eventually introduced us to the wonders of Korean eating. All the moves later there are days when I miss Easthampton something terrible. Life moved at a different pace there and it had a strange effect on all the natives and on me.
Extending the family tree, Justin is a writer and has contributed to many projects including reviewing books for Strange Horizons. He has a story in the recent Homeless Moon collection. His livejournal, which currently is detailing his time in Korea is here.
Jin is a wonderful artist of comic/manga style work which can be seen on her website here. It’s in Korean, but I used Google Translator to make some sense of the words. The art though, being amazing, needs no translation to see her talent.

Today’s Creature is a guy who eats too much pizza, and lives in the sewer. My take on the classic Turtles.

Dc Comics finally launched their digital presence this week with DC Comics App powered by Comixology. There are currently some free Batman Black & White Comics on there. I’ve grown quite fond of reading comics on my tiny ipod touch. Can’t imagine how addicted I would be to it if I had an Ipad.
Leverage returned last week. It is one of the best shows that captures the spirit of early nineties television, and it’s filled with geekdom jokes, that don’t deter the viewing experience for the rest of you. A lot of shows today take themselves too seriously. Leverage makes sure no matter high the stakes, you still get the occasional laugh in. Airs on TNT at 9pm. Tnt’s Leverage page
Sofia Coppola returns with Somewhere. I like the music by Phoenix
