I got to create this fun book cover last year for @therealzarqa’s brilliant debut novel 💥Jameela Green Ruins Everything💥 published by @houghtonmifflinharcourt and out in March 2022. ‘For fans of Where'd You Go, Bernadette? and My Sister, the Serial Killer, Jameela Green Ruins Everything is a whip-smart black comedy about the price of success, ​​and a biting look at what has gone wrong with American foreign policy in the Middle East. It is a compulsively readable, yet unexpectedly touching novel about one woman's search for meaning and connection, and about the lengths we go for those we love.’ Zarqa Nawaz is a writer and filmmaker, she created the world’s first sitcom about a Muslim community living in the west. Little Mosque on the Prairie premiered to record ratings on the CBC in 2007. It ran for six seasons, was watched in over sixty countries, and landed Nawaz in the public eye. When not writing, producing or directing for the show, she has spent much of the past six years writing comedy pilots for ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX, and touring the world as a sought-after public speaker. She has been profiled by CNN, the BBC, the New York Times, and Aljazeera. The book cover artwork features the main protagonist Jameela Green. We tried out various lip shapes and expressions before deciding on this incredulous look on her face. The idea was to show the chaos that Jameela invariably gets embroiled in wherever she goes, reflected in the explosion on her sunglasses. Swipe to see the process video for the cover. A big thanks to the wonderful AD, Martha Kennedy for her guidance on this project ✨ #bookcover #bookcoverart #bookcoverdesign #jameelagreenruinseverything #zarqanawaz #hmhbooks #illustration #digitalart #digitalillustration #procreate #procreateart https://www.instagram.com/p/CcP92SAJ6es/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Best American Comics 2019

dear tumblr friends,

big news: my comics were chosen for BEST AMERICAN COMICS 2019.

here's an excerpt from the review on amazon:

Erik Nebel's 'Why Don't We Come Together' ingeniously explores the possibilities of a rigid format—repeating but shifting shapes and colors, figures and patterns play across a set of equal-sized panels stacked into a grid, clicking through simple, whimsical stories like a filmstrip of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis...It's called 'best' for a reason."--Kirkus

(thank you, Kirkus!)

the official site for buying the book is hmhbooks.com

thanks for spreading the word, so people know this book is out now!!!

much love,

erik

I have been in the biggest reading slump, I finally found the books to get me out. The His Fair Assassins trilogy is everything I thought it would be. I love the darkness in these female characters while they pursue what is right. Thanks to @spinatale and @book_junkee for recommending these to me. I hope I can get through this one tonight! I’ll leave the synopsis in a comment, but let me just point out these books are about Assassin Nuns.

TFBWL BOOKMAIL 💛💙🖤

Super thrilled to receive SHE MEMES WELL from our friends at @hmhbooks as a long time fan of the brilliant and hilarious Quinta Brunson it’s quite the treat to get this one!!!

This book contains a deeply personal and funny collection of essays about trying to make it when you’re struggling, the importance of staying true to your roots, and how she’s redefined humor online.

It’s descriptor reads -

In her debut essay collection, Quinta applies her trademark humor and heart to discuss what it was like to go from a girl who loved the World Wide Web to a girl whose face launched a thousand Memes. With anecdotes that range from the ridiculous - like the time she and her high school girlfriends decided they needed to get into a street fight - to heartfelt material about her struggles with depression. Quinta‘s voice is entirely authentic and eminently readable. With its intimate tone and hilarious moments, She Memes Well will make you feel as if you’re sitting down with your chillest funniest friend.”

I am looking forward to reading this one and as well as watching her upcoming new series Abbot Elementary, which looks hilarious and drops soon on ABC. 📺⭐️

Go Quinta go!!!🖤💙💛

“It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.” - Tolkien . . I am feeling very under the weather today so I am going to leave you with this beautiful print gifted to me by @dearheartletterco This quote makes my soul happy. Now I am going to crawl back under the covers and try and get some rest... before the kids get home from school. Have a happy Friday everyone! #jrrtolkien #jrrtolkienquote #thehobbit #hmhbooks #tolkien #dearheartletterco #bookishprints #bookishquotes #bookquote #fairylights #flatlay #bookflatlay #flatlaybooks #igdaily #igbooks #bookaesthetic #booksandtea #teatime #bibliophile #cozyvibes https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUEOlQl42Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7ps9u5pjj7h3

Happy Happy Book Birthday to this fantastic book!!!

.

Thank you so much to @hmhbooks @askmateo @librofm for the gifted ARC and ALC of Black Buck by Mateo Askaripour! This book was intense, suspenseful, witty, maddening, timely, and one hell of a powerhouse debut novel!

.

Synopsis from the publisher: There’s nothing like a Black salesman on a mission. An unambitious twenty-two-year-old, Darren lives in a Bed-Stuy brownstone with his mother, who wants nothing more than to see him live up to his potential as the valedictorian of Bronx Science. But Darren is content working at Starbucks in the lobby of a Midtown office building, hanging out with his girlfriend, Soraya, and eating his mother’s home-cooked meals. All that changes when a chance encounter with Rhett Daniels, the silver-tongued CEO of Sumwun, NYC’s hottest tech startup, results in an exclusive invitation for Darren to join an elite sales team on the thirty-sixth floor. After enduring a “hell week” of training, Darren, the only Black person in the company, reimagines himself as “Buck,” a ruthless salesman unrecognizable to his friends and family. But when things turn tragic at home and Buck feels he’s hit rock bottom, he begins to hatch a plan to help young people of color infiltrate America’s sales force, setting off a chain of events that forever changes the game.

.

This book is a must read for everyone! So many important conversations sprang to mind reading this book, the inequality and lie of “the American Dream”, laws that are racist in nature by targeting people of color, mass incarceration, lack of diversity in the workforce, gentrification, and racism that has become as much a part of our culture as apple pie and Starbucks coffee. All of this and a funny and nail biting story that will keep you turning pages as fast as possible to see what happens next! Out now!
