Have you been out today?

The very lovely, talented and tall Mr Philip Reeve has written a rather splendid review of A Boy and a Bear in a Boat.

Among other things he calls it "powerfully depressing" (in a good way). I shall be encouraging my publisher to quote that on the jacket of the paperback in due course.

More scraps from the margins...
















In other news: we now seem to have a dog. How did that happen?

Double size post this week for no especial reason.







Ah, 61 Rugby Rd, Brighton, one of several addresses where I used to spend occasional nights sleeping on the sofa during the MA course. I forget now who lived where but I think Rugby Rd was the hotbed of talent where Mike Chester resided with various other talented folk (possibly including Mique Moriuchi?).











Some workings out for a little silent mini book I did called Signs of Life which turned out rather more of an interesting and instructive diversion than a good piece of work in its own right.

Working quite hard at the moment.

And continuing to do so until (at least) early August.

I fear that posts of sketchbookyscraps, such as this one, may be par for the course for a while...

A sneaky peek at episode 7 of Good Dog, Bad Dog: Double Identity (currently being serialised in The Phoenix, to which you all already subscribe, I assume). It's at unreadably small size here so that, hopefully, my editor and publisher won't mind...
