C-ya later C.C.

My friend Cecil Castellucci, author, lady and artiste, will soon return to a warmer place from this colder one. You may know her for her YA novels, Boyproff, Beige and Queen of Cool, or for graphic novels like Plain Janes, but what you may not realize is that Cecil is Canadian. She’s only been hiding in the sun down south all this time. Really she belongs to the land of ice and snow skirts. So go ahead and add her to that CanLit reading list you have to complete for your English class, or you know, just because Canadian YA authors are awesome and whatnot.

It was Cecil who introduced me to my latest bloggy obsession: 12 second iPhone videos. She’s making a whole series of micro-movies, one for every genre she likes, such as Film Noir. So I decided it would be fitting to send her off with a 12 second movie of my own.

I don’t know what genre you would call this. I guess we could say its a return to Jill-strange and leave it at that. And I suppose if Cecil ever wants to find out what’s under that tarp, she’ll just have to come back and see.
