A pencil’s “lead” is actually a mixture of graphite, clay, and bonding agents. Graphite is an allotrope of carbon, which is to say a unique atomic arrangement of that element (as are diamonds).

And what arrangement do the carbon atoms take within graphite? They form a hexagonal lattice…

Happy New Year (a little belated, I know)!

2013 is going to chock full of new and art and doodles…First up: Primates!

Yup, it’s the project I’ve been working on for the past 4 years…written by the amazing Jim Ottaviani, published by the also-amazing First Second Books.  Here’s a profile page for the book, and you can pre-order on Amazon.  The official release for Primates is June 11 2013, and I’ve got a whole lot of fun stuff to post about it.

Oh, and in case you didn’t notice, I spruced up the blog with some foliage (and a chimp).
