Happy Dance of Publication!
I get to illustrate a lot of really interesting projects (tweet me if you need my pen on your papers @jessicahagy), but this was an extra treat to diagram.
This book has loads of practical, honest, usable advice for all creative workers (which is, you know, practically everyone anymore) by people who I admire who do work I respect.
Seriously. These brilliant folks all wrote essays for the book:

Adrian Sanders — cofounder of Beacon

You can get a copy anywhere books are sold in the real world, and online through our publisher (the page has links to all your favorite booksellers).
Now back to my not-at-all graceful happy dancing.
Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, Illustrated
