I like the way this is going, and the gentle way in which its drawn. I hope you find a publisher who appreciates it.

I am hoping the same thing - but is has been a fun exercise nonetheless and has really kept my creative juices flowing.

i think that's very important. I'm semi-retired now but I'm as busy with my own projects and paintings as I was when working full time for publishers.

Working full-time for publishers is the dream, certainly - but it is comforting to know that I will enjoy doing this regardless if there is any work in it or not.

Ah ah ah dreams can easily turn into nightmares. Only kidding. Lot's of luck anyway, you're book certainly deserves to be published.

When I was knee deep drawing fairies for a book series with a horrible deadline the life of a freelance illustrator seemed less glamorous. Still, infinitely better than other work I do

I know what you mean, before I began to get regular illustration work as an illustrator I supported myself with part time jobs, mostly disagreeable.

I'd love to see some of the work you did for the fairies books.

Thanks, my friend. 12 books, 6 covers and 300+ b/w illustrations. It was great fun!

It's funny - back when I was a kid I did all this sort of stuff - exploring sewers and deserted shipping yards on weekends... all cool stuff that I would be scared to death to let my kids do now that I am a parent.

We used to trespass in this old abandoned shed and barn all the time.
