Category Archives: Best of 2010

I realize that year-end lists are the height of self-absorption, but everyone else is busy making them. Don’t I have as valid an opinion as, say, Amazon.com?

But the main reason I’m posting this list: I haven’t done as much illustration over the holidays as I was planning and am stuck for a blog post. These lists are relevant — they’re all cultural artifacts that, in some way or another, will influence my work — so this is a valid exercise.

I’ve kept it to comic books, movies and songs (in no particular order). I could add other categories, but books are a dangerous territory for me to enter (as a book publicist), television shows are difficult to rate as ongoing entities and few tapestries have made an impact on me this past year.
