Nic Jajic and Mike Czerniawski have been working their tails off to secure the success of their first graphic novel. Now, the official word is that The Big Bad Book has surpassed Diamond Comic’s minimum order threshold and can now fill into the comic book market.
For those who do not know, Diamond is the main distributor of comic books and the major supplier of comic book stores. New product must meet their preorder requirements to be available for purchase at all. If the threshold is not reached, Diamond will just drop the title completely.
Fortunately, that is not the fate of The Big Bad Book. Congratulations, fellas! Thanks for letting me be a part of the process.

The little ones get to party down at Bubble Bash 2009, put on by the DuPage Children’s Museum. It’s a count down to noon! (Hmm, perhaps I should look into this tradition too.)
Jeanie B! and the Jelly Beans are performing so it’s sure to be a good time.

Artist, writer, and illustrator Mike Venezia has created a mural for the Naperville (Illinois) Art League. Dedicated last month, the mural features many of history’s greatest artists along with their famous works of art.
Mike Venezia’s popular series of biographies are the basis for the video adaptations produced by Getting To Know, Inc.
In the picture, you can see Mike standing with Faith Ringgold in front of her cartooned version on the mural. Paul Klee paints and fiddles along side.
