Her version of the city has authenticity. The version of New York she chose to illustrate is not a pretty street, clean subway car, or upscale apartment. Castillo’s art in the real environment of New York. This pools the pigment close to the salt crystals creating speckles and uneven, craggily, dried edges. Then there’s her watercolor technique: she has applied washes of color and at the right time sprinkled salt over the paper. ![]() This is like tasting the terroir of a fine wine but visual. Castillo placed her paper over New York cement to create a rubbing of that rough surface. There are a number of areas that look like Ms. They are detailed but their lack of color keeps them from fighting with the foreground for attention. Heavily textured backgrounds (possibly a digital masking technique over handmade rubbed texture) show brick buildings with their iconic water towers. The city is a nuanced character the city is a stand-in for humanity. The city is New York and the next page opens up to a double page spread of the Brooklyn Bridge with ferries and boats traversing the East River and Manhattan behind it. Much like how small town America might see the city. The protagonist, a little boy, fears for his Nana because she is living in an unfamiliar environment filled with otherness. Otherness is anything or anyone who is unlike you, or is unfamiliar. This is not an “I love my Nana because…” book.

The two become fast friends, despite regional differences, as they endure trials and tribulations during their four years at the Point and the violence of the Mexican-American War. ![]() George Hazard and Orry Main first meet in New York City in the summer of 1842, as both make their way to commence upon their four years as cadets at West Point, the U.S. Just as wealthy are the Mains, a family from the low country of South Carolina that owns a cotton plantation (a rice plantation in the novel) called Mont Royal.

All the 80's movies that I grew up with like Stand By Me, The Breakfast Club, The Outsiders, and even Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Douglas Wolk, Publishers Weekly. The new and metaphysically expanded Manhog sets out for a final battle with Whim. He wants to go to celestial realms but instead altruistically returns to the unifactor to undo a wrong he has inadvertently brought about: The transformation of the evil politician Whim into a mind-destroying plant-demon who distorts and enslaves Frank and his friends. Jim Woodring (born 1952) started drawing minicomics for his own amusement in the 80s while working as an animator. After enduring 32 pages of almost incomprehensible suffering, Manhog embarks upon a transformative journey and attains enlightenment. As it happens, Frank has only a brief supporting appearance in Weathercraft, which actually stars Manhog, Woodring's pathetic, brutish everyman (or everyhog). Weathercraft is Woodrings first full-length graphic novel set in this world-indeed, Woodrings first graphic novel, period-and it features the same hypnotically gorgeous linework and mystical iconography. Weathercraft is Woodring's first full-length graphic novel set in the world of his most beloved character, Frank - indeed, Woodring's first graphic novel, period! - and it features the same hypnotically-gorgeous linework and mystical iconography.
