Some of you may’ve noticed that the link to the original art page is currently down. That’s our doing. We had a rash of attention there with all the press in the past few weeks (thanks, everybody!) and there were a few glitches with our “google shopping cart” caused by that traffic. But the work is all here with us in Philadelphia now and the orders will be filled and shipped out by Monday.

In the meantime, and for the next month or so, my original drawings and painting from the first chapter will NOT be available online but can be seen “up close and personal” at the James Oliver Gallery here in downtown Philadelphia. The show, entitled “It Came From The Drawing Board…”, features 186 pieces in color and b&w, including the ones which were involved in all that Apple kerfuffle lately. You know, the ones with the penises and boobies and all of that.

We’d like to direct your attention to a great op ed piece from the June 15th New York Times on the importance of reading ULYSSES.

This article was sent to us by my friend Karen Green who is the librarian of a great and ever-expanding collection of comics at Columbia University. Karen is also the librarian of Columbia’s medieval collection, so she knows a thing or two about having “broader horizons”.

We’ve also been told that as a result this article the Board of Trustees of Williams College is requiring their members to read ULYSSES this summer.

Apparently a few board members there were glad to hear about our project.

We would like to thank the Irish Arts Center for putting a link to our site at the top of theirs.

In case you’ve missed it (!), ULYSSES “SEEN” has been in the press quite a bit lately – and not in a small way. After the break a sampling of the articles in which we’ve appeared, and we will add to it as it continues to grow. A HUGE “Thank You” to ALL of the writers who have thought enough of this story to cover it, and an even bigger “Thank You” to those who contacted us directly!

We would like to take a moment to recognize some great people who have helped to make this project and its recent success possible.

BunsenTech, LLC

First off, we would like to give a huge shout out to BunsenTech, LLC, our iPad development team. Our collaboration was seamless and extremely enjoyable from beginning to end. If you are looking to put together an application for the iPhone and/or the iPad, we cannot recommend them strongly enough. They are, without exception, extremely knowledgeable, extremely skilled and wonderful to work with. Please give them a look – and even a shout, if you’re so inclined.

Proficiency Consulting

We would also like to express our gratitude to Proficiency Consulting, a web development company who helped us with some behind-the-scenes web stuff VERY quickly, VERY affordably, and VERY pleasantly.

SignatureOne Graphics

Last, but certainly not least, we want to give a big shout to SignatureOne Graphics, who helped us to build the framework for our web site over a year ago. Again, just a wonderful, knowledgeable, and multi-talented designer with whom to work. If you need graphic design, web design, or illustration work, we highly recommend giving SigOne a call (or an email).
