.So.Far.I've.

Just a quick post to let you all know what I've been up to.
Recently been woke up at unspeakable times with a flood of ideas for various children's books, they've all been written down and saved for a day when I'm not busy. Also a few other projects have popped up, not paid work yet but all something for me to work on and possibly gain a few pennies from.

To make things easier 'kids book wise' I've logged back on to LuLu.com (speak of the devil, they've just emailed to say my order has shipped) and downsized all my currently for sale books so they will be cheaper to buy and still look good.

I've been researching like crazy in to children's book publishers in the UK and across the waters, with the help of Children's writers and artist yearbook I've made a lot of progress over a short time. I've already sent a few manuscripts out to a few publishers (6) and got 3 back so far, fingers crossed for the rest. I've ordered a batch of my downsized books to send off as dummy books to publishers and also to show to nurseries in hope to gain public interest. (yey)

... and thats about it so far. Watch this space! ..it's quiet nice to look at.

.Actual.Touchable.Book.

Yey! my copy of Timmy & The Magic Bean arrived :D next thing to do is research in to publishers and send out letters asking sweetly and nicely if they will publish my book for me ha ha.

.Vs.

Having no inspiration can be a good thing because then when a competition comes along that has a deadline pretty soon, it will push you to create something unexpected in a short amount of time.

A situation like that came upon me recently, a competition related to the film Sucker Punch they wanted a mash up of things against things, the more random the combination the better.

The winner gets a signed book of artwork from the Sucker Punch movie created by Alex Pardee, not much to some people but a lot to me. So I gave it a go anyways, considering I did this in a week this is what I came up with.

The Atomic Poodle Vs Bruce Lee! how random is that!? ha ha

Timmy! blog link.

If people are interested, the Timmy book I've recently been working on now has it's own blog to keep tabs on it's progress and development. Here is the link in anyone want to follow the stages and making of Timmy and the Magic Bean:
