101 Ways to Kill Your Boss by Roumieu

Graham Roumieu's newest book 101 Ways to Kill Your Boss, published by Headline UK, released this Thursday, October 4th, 2007 and is sure to keep us all laughing. The title being self-explanatory, everyone will find humor in Graham's priceless recipe of a quart of off-beat wit, a pound of absurdity, and in this case, more than a healthy dose of macabre. The 112-page hardcover book is currently available only in the UK or through online sites such as Amazon.

Bigfoot Sighting on Metro

Tell me who else you'd assign an illustration to with a cover story titled Bigfoot Inc.? None other than Graham Roumieu fits the bill. Never predicable, a business-like Bigfoot with no pants glares at the slightly grungy hed and dek of a story about a local Meno Park, CA man who is a one-man sasquatch industry. Nice choice Metro, I'll bet your paper boxes emptied quick that week.

Bigfoot Seen in 'Arts & Life'

An 'in-character' portrait of Bigfoot illustrated by Graham Roumieu in the style of Me Write Book - It Bigfoot Memoir (Plume) was on the cover of the Arts & Life section of the National Post this Monday, June 25, 2007. The illustration accompanied an article titled 'The Fur in Furtive' that covers a filmmaker in Alberta who says he has found a colony of Bigfeet in the Rockies.

We're always glad to see art directors go for 'the real thing' when it comes to representing our furry friend.

Roumieu Follows Kerouac

On the first leg of a trip around the world for Conde Nast Traveler Magazine, Graham Roumieu illo blogs it on a roadtrip from New York to Los Angeles with food and travel writer Mark Schatzker. On this first leg of the '80 Days or Bust: One man's attempt to circumnavigate the globe the old-fashioned way' journey the pair are off traveling no faster than 100 mph and taking the time to see, eat, drink, and blog about their experiences. Leaving from Red Hook, Brooklyn in a loaner Mercedes E320 CDI, Graham will accompany Mark to Los Angeles on a one-week deadline where Mark will travel westward to the Far East by ocean liner. They plan to retrace Jack Kerouac's classic On the Road route as closely as possible and to eat in the very diners he did back in the day, or as close a match to them as can be had. (As you read the blog you will see that this becomes difficult and unappetizing.)
