fish in dish

Easing myself back into the blogosphere with a quick illo of a cat, with a fish, in a dish.

big cheese

The very last full page for Morsie, which is, ironically, the first illustration in the book... Now that I see it, I think it needs bigger cheese, but other than it's almost done...

I forgot to post the second last illustration (which is the last illustration in the book). It's the only one taken from a photograph of the actual, real life Morse (who does actually exist, and who did actually sleep with a ted - modelled here by Brian, my son's bear... Go Brian).

back to work

The first finished Morse illustration and, oh, the joys of not having a scanner big enough to take the double page spreads! Much joining and Photoshop colour correcting later... and I notice even posting here, that a LOT more is required. Pff!

Somehow though, it feels like progress has been made - one down, six to go (although two more are almost complete).

cat chaos

And so it begins! After months of thumbnails, roughs, translations and numerous lattes with Gracie, the Morse book is finally starting to take shape! It's really rather fun (oh, and the top hat is a nod to Mr mistoffeelees).
