Congratulations To Phoebe Gloeckner

As was widely reported yesterday, the great cartoonist Phoebe Gloeckner was among the 190 people receiving Guggenheim Fellowships to support them in the continuation of specific work. Over 3000 people in the arts and sciences applied for one of the awards. Gloeckner will use hers to continue work on her narrative about a girl murdered in Juarez, Mexico several years ago, a project for which one of comics best draftspeople has developed a completely different form of digital art. Gloeckner's one of comics' best artists: her work is awesomely executed and revelatory nearly every time out of the gate. I have a personal reason to be relieved that this worked out in Gloeckner's favor, and I couldn't be happier for her or more anxious to see the final work.

You can see glimpses of what I believe is that artistic approach on this video.

I have no idea what the art included here is; I think it may be from a more traditionally drawn, earlier version of the same project or a similar one
