Silvio In The Garden

A pretty silly little sculpted figure I made of Silvio last Summer to help with shading in the comic. It actually helps quite a bit! I was talking to the amazing new kids comic store Little Island Comics yesterday and I'd really love to do a launch of the first Maddy Kettle book there. I'm taking Henry there on Saturday. I've never seen a comic book store generate this kind of buzz before. It's amazing.

So, with reading time in short supply I've switched mainly to audiobooks. Right now it's the first Redwall book, which I've actually never read before! I'm really enjoying it. much darker than I would have thought and the tone really suits the story. And my iPod is full of more books: Lord of The Rings, Neil Gaiman, Narnia, Harry Potter, Dickens, Dumas etc. etc. Audiobooks are a cartoonists friend.

I've also switched inks. I need to remember to blog about that tomorrow.

also, I'm starting to set deadlines for myself. Right now I want to have at least half the inking on Maddy done by Christmas. Hopefully more!
