SVA Instructor Puts Art on the Subway
I love this story: Comics artist David Sandlin, an instructor at the School of Visual Arts and a current New York Public Library Cullman Fellow, has been selected to do what many graffiti artists would kill for. His art is adorning several subway lines in New York City beginning this month and running through January. Right now, the art is visible from the F line, with hopefully more lines getting his art soon. The three pieces are united in theme, which is a nice touch.

Mark Waid, one of my favorite writers and the guy behind such bestselling works as Kingdom Come, 52, and Irredeemable, has been working as the Chief Creative Officer at Boom! Studios for the past three years. Last week, though, the company announced that Waid would be stepping down from that position in order to concentrate on freelance writing, which will still include Irredeemable, Incorruptible, and The Traveler (his new collaboration with Stan Lee). Good luck to Mark, and I look forward to keeping up with what you do next.
