I just wanted to say (again) how fantastic this site is! I've bookmarked it and plan on returning often... Also... I FINALLY saw the clip from your Philippe Petit film... WOW! (I definitely have to check that out.... simply beautiful... film festivals, here I come!) Cheers! -John M. Thanks again for the kind words, Michael!

I was, as I've already said, jolted by your cover. It's a brilliant idea. The surprise came when I saw the second interior cover. This is the second time the New Yorker has had more to say about the event than any other publication, and both were done with illustrations. When I saw the image for the first time, Bob Blechman walked into my studio. He was taken with it just as strongly as I was. Thank you for your comments.

First of all... nice site... there's some excellent work on here... Second... I don't take issue with your comments in general... just wanted you to know that the Gerstein book actually did not influence me. I was working on ideas to submit for a New Yorker 9/11 anniversary cover and did a google search for WTC... I saw a pic of Philippe Petit and remembered the story... It was only after I knew what I wanted to do, that I did an image search to try to get the right angle... that search had some images from the Gerstein book... (if you're interested in the process, I went through it on my website... www.zenpop.com ) ...and that Spiegelman / Mouly cover for 9/11 is one of the greatest ever. Cheers! -John Mavroudis Hey Michael…
