Regan Dunnick

Regan Dunnick's Bad Astrid

Bad Astrid is a bully who finds redemption in the recently released children's book Bad Astrid from Random House written by Eileen Brennan and illustrated by Regan Dunnick. Publisher's Weekly had this to say about Regan's illustrations:

     "...Dunnick’s (Creak! Said the Bed) cartoon art is first-rate. His penciled textures and pops of offbeat color give the pictures the hip look of contemporary animation, while his sense of action and pacing is faultless. In fact, Astrid’s bike crash (and yes, she’s wearing a helmet, albeit a skull-emblazed one) is one of the most vivid in recent memory."

Tales of the Cocktail unveils its 2013 poster 

"Drink It In" by Robert Rodriguez 

Robert gave Lindgren & Smith some details about the illustration:
"The theme of Tales this year is The Great Gatsby, and I had already decided to do a sort of thirties style even before I heard about that. It fit right in. So all of the cocktails were popular in the twenties and thirties. Working from the rear left we have the Mint Julep, the Rickey, the Corpse Reviver, and the El Presidente".
There will also be coasters in sets of four for the event 
featuring Robert's last four years of posters.

Cup of Joe




Miles Hyman Studio
Do you know where the phrase 'Cup of Joe' come from? There are quite of few theories out there like the one on Quartz which explains that 'Joe' comes from the name Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the US Navy under Woodrow Wilson. "Daniels tried to imbue the navy with a strict morality. He increased the number of chaplains, discouraged prostitution at naval bases, and, most controversially, banned the consumption of alcohol." Subsequently, the purchasing and consumption of coffee rose.
 "A cup of coffee became disparagingly known as ‘a cup of Joseph Daniels,’ and as legend has it, this was soon shortened to a ‘cup of Joe,’” according to biographer Lee Craig.

 The website Snopes has an interesting list of theories (which includes the one above) and thinks the most likely explanation is that 'Joe' comes from the "corruption of one or two other slang words for coffee: java and jamoke" (jamoke is a compression of java & mocha). 

Why not grab a cup of joe and have a read!
