Furry Logic: Don't Worry by Jane Seabrook and Ashleigh Brilliant

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Book & Lit, Neatorama Only on November 12, 2009 at 9:09 pm

I’m a big fan of Ashleigh Brilliant’s witty Pot-Shot series of epigrams, so I’m pleasantly surprised to learn that New Zealand artist Jane Seabrook of Furry Logic Books (published by Ten Speed Press) has created the perfect art for his words in book form.

The book Furry Logic: Don’t Worry is Jane’s sixth and Ashleigh’s first as a co-author in the series. Like all of the Furry Logic books, this one combines beautiful animal pictures with Ashleigh’s razor-sharp wit.

The colorful animal pictures aren’t just exquisitely drawn – they’re educational, too! Jane accurately depicted the red-eyed tree frog, the meerkat, the blue-footed booby and the flame angel (what’s that? You’ve got to read the book). There are 30 animals in all, each accompanied with Ashleigh’s epigrams. This book will make a perfect gift, inspirational book, or reading material to enjoy with your kids.

Ashleigh Brilliant Radio Interview Today (Wed 23, 2009)

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on September 23, 2009 at 5:07 am

Ashleigh Brilliant, the most quoted author in the world (he’s written over 10,000 wonderful quotes, all 17-words or less) is going to be on streaming Internet radio today, Wednesday Sept 23, 2009 from 9 to 10 AM Pacific, with Santa Barbara’s AM 1290 with "Baron" Ron Herron. Here’s how to listen in:

Make sure your speaker is turned on.

Go to www.newspress.com (This is the website of Santa Barbara’s main daily newspaper, which owns the radio station.)

Go down the right-hand column to the section headed “News-Press.” In that section you will see six small boxes, 2 rows of 3.

Go to the upper-right of those 6 boxes, which is headed “AM 1290,” and which says inside (in red in 2 rows) “AM 1290 LISTEN NOW”

Click anywhere in that box.

The sound should then come up, but may take some seconds before you hear it.
