This is Joey. This is Jet. They got good news.

It has been a while since I have thought about the Joey and Jet series since the last book was published in 2006. Recently I heard good news from Simon and Schuster about both books. “Joey and Jet” , which had been out of print, is being reissued in paperback while Joey and Jet in Space is now going into a second printing. Richard Jackson was the editor for both books and Polly Kanevesky was art director.

I have been meaning to create another book but frankly, work had turned my attention away for the last few years. This might be the push I need to get started.

You may find both books on Amazon.

This weekend I got a pleasant surprise from my publisher, Simon and Schuster. A Korean version of Puzzlehead is now available in Korea. My parents would have been proud. As any Korean can tell you, impressing the parents is a very big deal.

Today is 3×3 Day. The 3×3 Illustration Directory is now available in bookstores. Last Week, Publisher Charles Hively invited me for a lunch interview. We were shocked to learn we have a common connection from the past.

Planet Yang Book

James Yang — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:13:27 +0000

The Planet Yang book is a 32 page book featuring a variety of projects and illustrations. My agent, David Goldman, has been wanting me to do a book like this for some time. Ironically, I couldn’t figure out the book until starting Planet Yang. Afterwards, everything fell into place. If you would like to buy Planet Yang, please visit here.

“I just got my hand on James Yang’s Children’s Book called ‘Puzzlehead’. The book takes you on the journey of Puzzlehead looking far and wide for a spot that he fits in. He is eventually led to conclusion that his perfect place is wherever he can be with his friends. I think we might have a new favorite at casa swissmiss.” Much thanks to Swiss Miss.
