Just ordered both of your books mentioned in here. Was introduced to Steal Like an Artist years ago as my bf drives around with it in his car. Each time, he's driving, I pick it up I start from the beginning... again... I guess I need to get my own copy of that too! Just joined as a paid subscriber with your promo. Excited to see what all you will share with us! You are so inspiring and I need that lately!
Love the new Austin library--thanks for the pix. If I ever get to your city, it will be on my not-to-miss list. Your photos remind me of the magnificent central libraries of San Francisco and Salt Lake City. For me, the mother ship of libraries is New York (City) Public Library's 5th Ave main branch. Our local library system is no slouch either. Years ago, the twenty public libraries across Monroe County, NY, electronically merged their collections on the internet. You can borrow from any library in the system. The "hold" system will also deliver the book to the library you select for pickup for a small fee of 50 cents per book.
Your quote-copy idea is gold! In library books I would mark quotes with post-its and then photocopy the pages. Tedious, and I rarely get around to actually cutting out the quotes to put in my notebooks. I haven't tested this process on Kindle yet. Their highlight-and-download system is handy but has limits.
I read both Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics and his Making Comics in January 2021 when I was stuck hanging out on the bed with a broken ankle. I was deeply impressed. Both books were far more than I could have imagined they might be. As an artist who's been experimenting with graphic memoir, they spoke to me on many levels.

Love the copying quotes hack! Now I just wish I could copy quotes on my Kobo e-reader from library books.
