We chatted with cartoonist Craig Thompson and his brother Jon in front a giant mural designed by Craig for Bolster, Jon's brand agency. Craig spoke that evening for the Rain Taxi Reading Series about his new book, Habibi.

I feel such deep admiration for Craig Thompson. No other contemporary author has, in my opinion, reached such balance between technical skills and impressive and compelling stories. Yet he seems to be such a humble and down-to-earth being, a feature he will be needing in order to keep up in search and angst for new themes so his talent can keep on pouring from his brushes.
I have just traveled through his amazing 'Habibi' and I am absolutely mesmerized by it's beauty. A work of art.
