Archived at the New York Historical Society

At our Book Court signing last night, Michael Crowley and I presented a signed copy of 08 to Alan Balicki of the New York Historical Society, who will place the book in their permanent archives as a historical record of the 2008 presidential election… in comics form.

Alan rattled off an incredible list of people who’d dedicated printed materials with the phrase “Presented to the NY Historical Society” before us and it’s an honor to be a part of that tradition:

NPR Gets 08

Category : 08: A Graphic Diary, Press · No Comments · by Mar 6th, 2009

NPR’s Books We Like reviews “08″ and really hones in on my approach to covering the election in words and pictures:

08 strikes out on its own to create a method of visual storytelling that owes as much to ’60s magazine layouts as it does to modern Web design. It’s largely thanks to Goldman’s singular graphical style that this book, essentially a time capsule of the campaign’s conventional wisdom, feels so defiantly and refreshingly unconventional.

Comixology Plus Facebook

Category : 08: A Graphic Diary, Digital, Press · No Comments · by Jan 26th, 2009

This week in my favorite comic-shopping app, Comixology features 08 as their item of the week, highlighted across their synergistic site/iPhone app/web-app as well as an interview with yours truly in their weekly podcast (also via iTunes). This particular interview is a bit process-heavy which should be interesting to digital illustrators out there, and sees me stringing my last few major projects together and tying them up with a shiny bow.

We’ve also set up an 08 Facebook group to serve as our 08 communications hub, which you can join here:

Tomorrow’s baby’s big day; love to hear your thoughts on 08 in the comments…
