Thanks, Li-An. Yeah, the Coraline box was a nice treat this year. I hope you also have a great new year of drawing and blogging! Other readers can visit Li-An's excellent blog here. Though the blog is in French, non-French speakers will still find lots of wonderful artwork, including Li-An's own excellent comics art.

You had the Coraline box, so you cannot have everything :-)
Well, the book is full of great illustrations but the text is controversial (the authors even tried to compare Leyendecker to Gauguin… No sense).
Happy new year and good blogging :-)

Thanks, C Enemone.

Nice to know some of the details of the book. I’m looking forward to it. Thanks for the nice words about Lines and Colors.

The missus gifted me with the new Leyendecker book for Christmas.
It’s great! 5 palettes!
Wonders why Michael Schau didn’t go the extra mile and reference the additional info way back when? (His book is excellent also).
Rockwell couldn’t clean Leyendecker’s brushes-maybe that’s why J.C. took pity on him?

Just discovered your blog today…Excellent!
Thanks for the info!

Thanks, Charles. I haven’t been able to find a comprehensive schedule for the exhibition, so I’m not sure I’ll get to see it either, even though I’m on this side of the Atlantic (grin).

I have a copy of the new book on J.C. Leyendecker and it is awesome – very informative and full of superb reproductions of the great man’s art. As you say, the book is long overdue. let’s hope this one stays in print for a good few years. Apparently there’s an exhibition of 50 or so originals touring the US this year (2009) too. Sadly, I live in England.

A happy year for leyendecker fans!

Cheers!
