UPDATES & SAUL BASS

Greetings, Spy Vibers! I hope everyone is staying safe and doing well. I finally wrapped up another school year recently and then taught a really fun summer comic art class for kids. Now grateful to have time to devote to working on my Spy Vibe book project. I've recently solved some questions I've had for a while about how to best organize the material, so unless I find more ways to complicate it (curiosity, you know), I think I'm in good shape to bang away at it for the next month. Some minor news re: my recent post about the Fleetway Secret Agent series: The Book Palace wrote back to say they are gathering up the issues as a first step to research the stories and artists, and then they will determine if they wish to do any collected editions. More news as it arrives. I recently "attended" a premiere on-line of a new doc about Pierre Cardin, which was really excellent: House of Cardin. Hopefully Spy Vibers will get to see it! The other bit that crossed my radar this week was a new blog post from the California Film Institute, who have done up a nice tribute to the great graphic designer and filmmaker, Saul Bass (1920-1996). In addition to a poster gallery (lots of Hitchcock and Kubrick), they've also assembled a fantastic collection of video clips celebrating his many movie title sequences, such as Vertigo and North By Northwest. Check it out here. There's also a great celebration of Bass at Art of the Title. Enjoy!
