Bibliography for "The Gahdner Heist," p.120 in Inbound 4


Since Inbound 4 was pressed for space and could not include a bibliography page for the individual stories, I am posting mine here on my blog.

Ulrich Boser's book, The Gardner Heist was particularly helpful. It gave me a complete overview of the events, investigations and theories concerning the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist, and an insight to the personalities of the people linked to the case. Also, I used the photo of Rembrandt's Storm on the Sea of Galilee as a reference when I drew my pencil version of the painting on my splash page. I also used the color photo of Harold Smith to draw a cartoon version of him (which I did with all due respect).

Life After Inbound 4



Now that Inbound 4 is out there, living its own life in various Boston bookstores and comic book stores, people ask me if I am working on something else...Well, I am, sort of...I'm just not sure if "work" is really what I have been up to until now. But I guess it's time to really get started on what I have defined as my new project. I have been playing around with an idea for a while, and have conducted research (I took 400+ photos of streets and buildings in Copenhagen for this purpose), and done a fair amount of sketching. Whatever it will turn out to be in the end, it's definitely girly stuff, no testosterone-fueled guys-in-underpants-saving-the world sort of thing...Not something my boys would want to read, in other words.
