Erik A. Evensen (MFA, Ohio State University) and I are teaming up on a comics-and-literacy related project due out this fall. Erik is an award-winning artist who earned the Xeric Grant to help him publish his first graphic novel Gods of Asgard, which is about to gain global distribution. In this clip, you can see him profiled by Lakeland Public Television, based in Minnesota. You'll also see him working on some preview art for our project! :)

It was fun to see this and to see how unpretentious and "un-weird" he is.
The Norse stories should do well, don't you think?
Tell him I look forward to seeing his work.
Yeah, he's a decent, responsible, smart dude who sees art and design as having a built-in educational component. He self-published the first edition of his book (on which I wrote a rationale for our other project), but a European publisher saw it and decided to take it to the next level. He's done some great art for our project, which didn't surprise me at all. He and I are former (or veteran) members of OutcastStudios.com and met up there years back. You can search his name for his website and there is a site associated with Gods of Asgard as well.
