This is some cartoon work for a dear family member who is launching a series of tales about Vinny the Vampire, a kid-friendly romp through a whimsically macabre neighborhood.

Sounds like the kind of guy who grew up in my neighborhood in North Philly.

It's okay -- he only sucks the blood of people who make noise in the library. It's a community service, really.
But in case he gets out of hand, it's important to know that his eyebrows are the source of his unearthly power.

I really like the READ IN PEACE illustration. I think it would be a good official symbol for the Obama Department of Censorship.
At first, the vampire thing bugged me a little bit because of all of the vampire garbage in pop culture... kind of like this might be a "gateway" book...
...but that thought is as stupid as thinking that Harry Potter or Dungeons & Dragons promote satanism.
My mother read all kinds of things to me as a kid, & my parents exposed me to all kinds of books.
I read Uncle Remus stories as well as a little book about a little Indian boy who ended up eating pancakes with tiger butter, & I didn't join the Klan--heck, I'm not even racist.
I read lots of westerns & I'm not a cowboy.
I read the Encyclopaedia Britannica (an older edition--from back before large parts of it were turned into politicized dreck), & I'm not a computer gazillionaire.
I read Mein Kampf & I'm not a Nazi--I'm not even an anti-Semite.
I read the Torah & the Talmud & I'm not Jewish.
I read the Koran & I'm not a terrorist.
I read Nietzsche & I'm not a nihilist, I read Satre & I'm not an existentialist.
Finally, I [quickly] read Dreams from My Father & The Audacity of Hope & I'm not a drooling mome.

It's interesting that the popularity of the vampire culture has grown with B. O.'s blood sucking rein of terror. Coincidence? I don't know.

You should give a recommendation of blogs for people like me. I found your site sometime last week when I was researching, however I am not really into the blog scene. I don't think it's because I don't like blogs, but just due to the fact that I'm a little ignorant to them.
