YAHOO !!! I am downloading it at this very moment ! THANK YOU to all of you who make THE HATCHET possible !


Tracy...

I ordered a copy through Lulu!

That's cool Bob!
It's a new way to bring you the magazine!
Please everyone take the survey. It's your magazine!

My survey's in!

Ah, another Hatchet devoured in one sitting! Thank you all who make it possible, it is indeed a treat to view. I took the survey, but, don't think I had any constructive criticisms as I think things are done so well. My only complaint is that when I get done reading it, I want more!

This might very well be one of the best issues of The Hatchet yet....

It is filled with information and articles about Lizzie's life after the trial and that has always interested me.

I also completed the survey... It takes just a few moments and I do think the questions were posed in order that Stef know what her subscribers want.

stefani keeps it dynamic. the format and options don't get stale. i like the creative thinking behind the black-and-white idea. i think the printed copy option is a great idea. i save the pdf versions, but i would prefer having both. i would buy at least some color prints, i'm sure.

stefani's logo -- her face worked into THE HATCHET -- is a personal touch that works. it's like the alfred hitchcock profile. it's stefani a la modigliani.

tina's cartoon is really funny -- as is dear abby as stolen by lizzie.

the black and white renderings are excellent -- did stefani do these?

the article about the stolen paintings is much appreciated, as i'm reading this in radin. we still don't have the truth here, do we? thanks for the research.

i haven't read it all yet.

in the lizzie/emma articles -- look what happens to fact in journalism -- "One cannot help remarking the contrasting elements the woman's nature presents. Seeing her with her dog, her canaries and her squirrels, it is hard to imagine that she is the same woman who, in talking with City Marshall Hilliard the day her father and step-mother were murdered, even in the very room where the still bodies lay with their ghastly wounds covered by sheets, stamped her foot and said: "Don't call her my mother. She was my step-mother. My mother died years and years ago."
how's that for embellishment?

I have read most of The Hatchet already; usually I read the whole thing in one sitting, but this time it didn't work out that way.....

I have also completed the survey and would very much like to take it again in about a year as I didn't have anything that I wanted to see added at this time. I just subscribed to The Hatchet, for the first time, this past spring so I am still very much wrapped up in all of the articles so far.

I LOVE The Hatchet! The August issue is awesome to say the least.

Who did the cover art??

Me. I did a live trace with Illustrator CS2 of an 1893 newspaper illustration.

As has already been said...a GREAT issue ! Maybe the best yet !


Tracy...

hmmm the artwork is interesting. I would have to do something like that by hand, how does the live trace work? I've never heard of that.

Gosh, clint, you wouldn't want me to just give away all my secrets now would you?

Got back to the office, and there was my copy from Lulu!
