This weekend at the Brattle, my favourite little arts cinema, I get to show Amanda two films I love that she’s never seen, and she shows me two films she loves that I’ve never seen. We’ll introduce the films on stage.
There are still some tickets. Come and see four strange beloved films and hear us talk about why we love them. (And see whether the other one likes them.)
(They also have a Friday, and weekend matinee Double Feature of CORALINE and STARDUST, for those who have never seen them on a big screen, or want to see them again. Here’s the Calendar.)
On the final stretch of pre-signing. When I get bored I draw ghosts.
Neil, you drew me a rat. I was 13 and now, almost a decade later, its still one of my favorite things. Thanks Neil!
And suddenly, 11 years of drawing rats on Coralines feels perfectly justified.
Happy Other Mother’s Day.
Somehow I assumed that Tumblr would be filled with Other Mother’s Day cards that people had made, but it is not.
May 5th is going to be an excellent Sunday in Los Angeles

Travis Knight! Richard Donner! Terry Fucking Gilliam! Some British Guy!
Come and say hello….
Illustration piece for my Ill 1 class. We had to do a conceptualized celebrity portrait. I chose Neil Gaiman surrounded by Coraline things.
CORALINE. THE BOOK. ON VIDEO. AMAZINGNESS. FREE!
Pass the word… as part of CORALINE’s tenth birthday celebrations, a host of people have gathered to read the book out loud on video.
People like me. Lemony Snicket. John Hodgman. Melissa Mars. Holly Black. R.L. Stine. (R! L! Stine!) A host of luminaries. And my fairy goddaughter Natashya reads chapter three.
The first video went up today. It’s me, and it’s chapter one. Come back next week for Lemony Snicket and chapter two…

I love Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab.
And they are starting a new line of scents.
I am not going to tell you what it is. The keen-eyed sherlocks amongst you might be able to figure it out from the picture.
Is the scent Toxoplasmosis and Elderbeard?
It is not. John Hodgman, go to the back of the class. And… are you chewing, boy? I hope you have enough for everybody here…

Exactly ten years ago today CORALINE was published.
Happy Birthday, little scary book. I hope you inspire moments like this for ever and always.
Here’s some more #Coraline conceptual art from the amazing Chris Appelhans. It’s the Other Mother. #neilgaiman #henryselick #laika #conceptart #othermother (Taken with Instagram)
