“Behind the scenes with cartoonist Nick Bertozzi, as he writes and illustrates his graphic novel The Salon. Nick shows us the arduous process of making a comic book. Nick explains how he got the idea for The Salon, which retells the story of Picasso and Braque inventing Cubism. He’s added more than a hint of whimsy–actually a lot of absinthe and mysterious beastly paintings coming to life!”

I love how Nick mentions that his whole reason for making the book was to learn more about the subject. What a great way to learn!
