My 3rd Essay for Boing Boing! by Amy Crehore

 I wrote an essay about Seth's wonderful picture-novella

 It's A Good Life, If You Don't Weaken

for the Boing Boing's series on Great Graphic Novels.

Emma Watson Portraits

Artist Mark Demsteader did some wonderful portraits of actress Emma Watson. They were shown in a gallery in June 2011 where a portion of sales benefitted a charity for the education of girls in Africa. Story: LINK

Photo of the Day

Here is a photo of Catherine Deneuve and her sister Francoise Dorleac (French actresses) when they were very young. Sadly, Francoise died at age 25 in a car crash. Catherine is still as beautiful as ever. I never knew the story of her sister, but I looked it up yesterday.
