Jeepers creepers, the things you do to avoid doing your tax returns, eh? I've actually, finally, updated my children's book blog. I was shocked to see quite how long that project has been put on the back burner, but it was a joy to finally start working on it again. I don't like to blow my own trumpet but I'm rather pleased with this drawing.
So, I've taken a moment for a little commercial break. I thought I'd just let you know that I have now listed my first three zines (above) as a package. This is the cheapest way of buying them, so it's perfect for those of you who have not yet started your AJ collection (can't tell you how uncomfortable I am about writing this sort of stuff). Anyways, you can find them in my Etsy shop HERE. 
Also, new to the shop is this hot of the press limited edition zine based on my children's book. I have just 75 of these little fellas for sale. You can read more about them on my children's book blog or HERE. Plus, in other news, I have recently been interviewed by the folks at the brilliant Empty Kingdom. If you are interested in reading about my work, and me, then click HERE.
Right that's the end of the sales pitch. I promise.
My last post found me extolling the virtues of illustrated endpapers...
...when it struck me that I now have some endpapers of my own...
...not only endpapers, of course, a whole book, but at the moment we are just talking about endpapers...
...it also got me thinking that not only do I love endpapers...
...but I love a good flyleaf too...
...and you know, I might be blowing my own trumpet here...
...but I think that my endpapers are pretty lovely and my flyleaves look non too shabby either.
A few posts ago I introduced you to the Swish hairbrush. Well, it turns out I've actually drawn it before. It's on this table. Can you spot it? The answer is on my book blog HERE.
Finally a new post on my children's book blog. If you want to know more about this mad drawing (and, quite frankly, why wouldn't you?) then head on over HERE.
There's a new little post over on my children's book blog. Find out everything you need to know about the owner of this keyring HERE.
Now that I'm getting back into the swing of things I also want to get back to updating my children's book on a blog too. Unfortunately that's one of those things that gets pushed down the old priority list when time is short. That's OK though. I've been living with this book for the best part of two decades, so it's not like I'm in any rush to get it finished. And, anyway, I kind of like it that way. It's having plenty of time to simmer whilst waiting for the right publishing deal to come along.
So, when I said I was not going to plug my children's book blog or draw anymore shoes, it was obviously, a big fat fib. I'm a liar. A liar. And, it seems, my pants are, indeed, on fire.
Once again I need to say a great big thank you to you all - for your response to my last post and to the great feedback. It's all much appreciated, and I still have many of you to get back to. I'll get around to it ASAP.
