Well, the kid's book is officially finished! After 2 months of quite intensive work, the finals have been sent to print. Hopefully I'll have PDFs of all the pages soon and can post a couple of spreads although I'm a bit nervous about seeing it as I've been staring at it for so long that I can only see the bad parts of my art. Hopefully I'll change my mind when I see it all in print! Anyway, I promised myself a break after the book was done, which lasted all of 2 minutes before I was in Photoshop and scribbling in my sketchbook. My next personal project is:
Trading Cards!
Series 1 will have 50 designs and will be sold in packs of about 6 cards. Above are the first 10 in the series; I'm hoping the have the first lot of cards ready to print by January. There will also be a few "rare" cards which I wont be posting on the internet or anywhere else so the only way to find them is to collect the cards! Sneaky, but also a bit of fun :P
There's something really nice about trading cards - I've started doing a few bits and bobs for a set I'd like to get printed - although I reckon it's going to take a while for me to reach 50! I'll be keeping my eye on these though - maybe one day you could trade some of yours for some of mine :)
