Mr. Vess,

I Just received my copy of “Drawing Down the Moon” this week. I am glad that you included so many black and white inks. Will you have a 2010-2011 appearance schedule out any time soon? I would love to have my “Drawing Down the Moon” signed at some point (currently living in NC).

Your book is beautiful! The Barnes and Noble signing here in Johnson City was snowed out, so my husband bought one on a trip to Malaprops . Are you going to schedule more bookstore appearances/signings? We bought autographed copies of “Drawing Down the Moon” and “Blueberry Girl”, but we missed seeing you at the bookstore appearance. Thank you for creating such a wonderful collection of your art.

Left a review on amazon…

do you have a time frame you hope to get your 2010 appearances on the site? i’d like to make it out to abingdon again some time in the summer or fall but would like to try to make it around an event you’ll be attending. thanks!

Thank you one and all for your kind comments on my book. In truth I do feel a bit ‘naked’ having it sit on bookseller’s shelves so all the encouragement from you guys the better.

If any of you feel like writing a review over on Amazon that would be just ducky.

April-Anna I do plan on exploring your site soon. Thanks for the link.

Best,
Charles

I am super excited to get the new book!! It looks lovely! I also really love the name, “Drawing down the Moon”. I have such a fixation with the moon.

I just read “The Book of Ballads”, which is really awesome, captivating and so so very sad. I wrote about the book on my blog, if you are interested: http://theartofapril-anna.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-dream-in-puppets-and-book-of-ballads.html

I did end up buying the illustrated copy of “StarDust”; it’s lovely, I have not sat down and re-read it yet with the images for extra stimulus (my mind is very imaginative though, so I saw a movie in my head when I first read the novel), but I have taken the time to look at the artwork. Very inspiring, great work!

Happy holidays! I wish you bright blessings and happy adventures in the coming new year!!

Cheerio;

What an awesome book.
I got it last week and started reading and enjoying the artwork. And I still am.
Congrats Charles, this book rocks.
Happy Holidays

Such an awesome book! Worth the wait for the extra material….only things that sucks is amazons shipping, book is nice and dinged up…oh well, was probably going to buy multiple copies anyway!

Hi Charles – I’ve got mine on order (have been looking forward to having my own ever since seeing the galleys at IMC!) Speaking of IMC – I’m still hugely appreciative of all of your input, demos and presentations there. I’d love to send you a holiday/thankyou card? Do you have a PO box or other address you’d be willing to share?
