Description originally for an experimental children's book

the moth's fur is actually textural: i like to stroke it

it's also possible that it may contain traces of salad and packed lunch, as i tended to eat at my desk at uni.

Noss use of texture in thar. Not a bad scan neither by far. Is this on illustration board?

The angle you see this from is astounding, same thing with the colours and details.

Mary seems surprised by the large amount of air blown at her from only a few moths.

Haahaa! Thanks!

My Head of Year was going nuts about this angle too... alas, I have not managed to impress him with a similar feat since...

I'm afraid not, he'd probably try and strangle me with his beard... he absolutely HATES comics for a reason I can't quite grasp... @__________@

i really love your works for they are unusual and done very neatly. there is something special about them. there are many details, but they do not "brake" the picture, and it looks like the whole thing. i would buy your book, if they sell it in Russia )

They wouldn't publish it when I showed it round some UK publishers, but I was told it's the sort of thing the Americans, the French, an publishers on the continent in general would be more likely to be interested in.

UK kids books (with exceptions: see Templar Publishing UK) haven't got much further than "Spot the Dog" and generally cute and moralistic kinda things, which I are "nice" books and characters, but I think I liked things with a bit more visual stimulus and dark undertones when I was younger...

...but maybe I was weird ^_^

Thanks for commenting!
