‘The Package,’ ‘Southern Bastards’
Sketchy line work and frenetic brush strokes nearly obscure the action early-on in new digital-only graphic novel The Package. Co-creator Alexis Ziritt’s blotty backdrops make it difficult to distinguish when a hotel’s table fan and desk chair begin and end in the first few pages, where two miserable hitmen — who are working together in dry and dusty “Vista Del Sol, Mexico” — trade threats and eventually, let their tempers get the best of them.
Loved this audio doc on Van Morrison’s 'Astral Weeks,’ which turns 50. During the sessions, Van disappeared into the mic booth and barely spoke to the NYC jazz artists who played on the recording https://t.co/eHqia5wZk9 (see @JahHills’s new book too)
