Due to my upcoming trip to Cannes and London, my online graphic novel The Poet and the Flea is on hiatus this month.
But fear not — The Flea will return with page 25 on June 5th!
In the meantime, feel free to read and re-read the first 24 pages. 
See you in June!

Yesterday, I posted the 10th page of The Poet and the Flea – I can’t believe it! The Flea premiered online November 28th, 2012 and has already received almost 5,000 views. I’m so excited that everyone seems to be enjoying my graphic novel so far and I hope more and more people will begin to read it. 
For those of you who have yet to check out The Flea (and for those who wish to read the first 10 pages over again), I’ve included links below. Enjoy!

In related news, I just discovered a very long and detailed review of the first 9 pages of The Poet and the Flea by Sarah Goode at University College Oxford on the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies’s website! Wow!!! Check it out here!

Hey everyone:
I can’t believe that the online premiere of The Poet and the Flea (November 28th, 2012) has come and gone already. But there’s plenty more to come!
In case you missed the premiere, click here!
I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who participated in the premiere. It’s hard to believe that there were over 400 views from all over the world! Thank you especially for all your likes and comments — they mean a lot to me and make me want to write and illustrate all the more.
That having been said, I would love to hear more of what you all think. Please don’t hesitate to leave any questions or comments. I will without fail respond to each and every one of you.
I also wanted to share some of the kind words posted by my friends on Facebook:
- Lindsay: “…this is amazing!!! I can’t wait for each new page! Amazing!!! ^_^”
- Wes: “WANT MORE!”
- Phuong: “It’s awesome so far! Can’t wait for more!! “
Anyway, thanks again!
Best,
G. E.

Today marks 10 days until the premiere of my graphic novel The Poet and the Flea!
For those of you not yet familiar with The Poet and the Flea…
Summary: The Poet and the Flea is a reimagining of the life of the poet-painter William Blake. Set in 1790, at the onset of The Industrial Revolution, William suffers from the death of his beloved younger brother, Robert. Catherine (Kate) Blake attempts to comfort her husband, but cannot dispel his grief. During this spell of anxiety, William is visited by an ominous creature: The Ghost of the Flea. The Flea reveals an invested interest in William’s spiritual well-being — the result of an unorthodox wager. Will William triumph over The Flea’s sinister meddling? Or will he fall victim to The Flea’s corruption?
William Blake was born November 28th, 1757. And this year will be the poet-painter’s 255th birthday! Thusly, I will be premiering the first five pages of my graphic novel on Wednesday, November 28th, 2012!
★ The Poet and the Flea will premiere on thepoetandtheflea.wordpress.com.
I hope you will all help me countdown these last few days and, when the time comes, celebrate Mr. Blake’s birthday with me!
Thank you!
–G. E.

The Flea is coming…!!!
Page 14, in progress.
I’ve been playing around with dates for the premiere of my upcoming graphic novel, The Poet and the Flea. And, although this date is later than I originally intended, I hit upon the perfect one.
For those of you not yet familiar with The Poet and the Flea…
Summary: The Poet and the Flea is a reimagining of the life of the poet-painter William Blake. Set in 1790, at the onset of The Industrial Revolution, William suffers from the death of his beloved younger brother, Robert. Catherine (Kate) Blake attempts to comfort her husband, but cannot dispel his grief. During this spell of anxiety, William is visited by an ominous creature: The Ghost of the Flea. The Flea reveals an invested interest in William’s spiritual well-being — the result of an unorthodox wager . Will William triumph over The Flea’s sinister meddling? Or will he fall victim to The Flea’s corruption?
Since William Blake is my protagonist, I thought what better date than his 255th birthday?
William Blake was born November 28th, 1757. And this year will be the poet-painter’s 255th birthday!
Thusly, I have decided to premiere the first five pages of my graphic novel The Poet and the Flea on Wednesday, November 28th, 2012!
I realize that this date is a ways away, but I hope everyone will be patient and, when the time comes, celebrate Mr. Blake’s birthday with me!
Thank you!

Here is a brief update on my current creative projects and endeavors…!
- Robots Are a Girl’s Best Friend: Continuing correspondence between me and Cassie. Revisions finished last Friday. Can’t wait to film later this year!!
- The Poet and the Flea: Haven’t had time to work this week. Hoping to get more done next week, starting Tuesday-ish! [27 pages of written script (1 page of script = 4-6 illustrated pages), and about 26 pages (1-6 completed, and 6-26 in progress) of illustrated work.]
- Tuesday, sent an e-mail to Playground Pictures. They sound like a really cool group, and I think I could gain some great experiences by working with them. I would love to get involved, writing a web series or short script. Hopefully, they’ll message me back!
- Wednesday, created a facebook page to promote my works. Don’t forget to “like” me!!
- Wednesday, added some new features to my homepage, including a facebook “like” button and facebook comments. Don’t forget to “like” my homepage and to tell me what you think in the comments box!
- On twitter, I now have over 200 followers… Thank you, everyone!!
- Also, if anyone is interested, you can check out my other tumblr account… just a silly, random collection of things I like.
- Picking up my wonderful friend, Ariel, in a few hours… so will be offline in the coming days-ish!

Here is a brief update on my current creative projects and endeavors…!
- Tuesday, had successful first meeting with my director Cassie Jaye for our short film Robots Are a Girl’s Best Friend!! Had a chance to bounce ideas off each other, and currently working on revising the script. Planning on filming sometime after September. Wow!!!!!
- Didn’t get in to the Provincetown Writing Fellowship. But I’m more than okay with that. I was worried that, if I were to get in, that the fellowship would interfere with my involvement in Robots Are a Girl’s Best Friend. Now, I can dedicate myself fully to this film project!
- The Poet and the Flea: 27 pages of written script (1 page of script = 4-6 illustrated pages), and about 26 pages (1-5 completed, and 6-26 in progress) of illustrated work. Would like to begin scanning pages soon — must experiment with my temperamental scanner.
- Except for a few issues, my homepage has been revamped… Check it out!
- My best friends Ariel (from New York) and Olivia (from Texas) are visiting the first few days of June!! So we’ll be running around San Francisco, doing lots of touristy things. Can’t wait!
