11 YEARS AGO??
Wow. There was a time when I had copious amounts of free time, when I'd mock up posters like this purely for the funz.
Oh. Wait. I'm STILL doing this.
Huh.

Another free sample!
It's almost Halloween, so I dusted this one off and dressed it up a little.
I should warn you, though, I'm not a writer, just a concerned citizen.

I noticed a few posts about International Animation Day, so I figured I'd share a trailer based on my self-published kids' books. The trailer is a collection of scenes from each book stitched together to test how this idea might work as a series.

Given the current trend of old IP to horror, there could be room for a film set in 70s London, where a killer in a mannequin mask is murdering patrons of a department store. And, like all good horror movies, it is the clerks managing the clothing floor who work together to stop it.

One year ago today, I did one of these. To celebrate, I took a whole year to do another one of these.

Found myself home alone with some time to kill. Remembered it was Spooky Month. Made a Little Boo in Blender. Shocking how much Blender you DON'T do when you're teaching it.

Saw a HUGE jump in page reads at the beginning of October for my books on Amazon. I usually get figures from the US, but oddly, the UK surged. 4 years in, and I've NEVER had engagement in this marketplace. Must be ghosts. You know, the ones from the telly.

Ideas don't die, they change forms.
Messing with some old designs to end the week. Additionally, I included some of the images I used as references. Who recalls the yellow fellow? 😃

Introducing BCnLP: Short Stack.
All the fun of a Big Crow and Little Pumpkin book, in a way that doesn't require me to work like a loony in between the billion other things I'm doing.
Now, eat up before it gets cold.

Recent book buys—The Mulligans Zoo and The Wizard of Oz by Mark Christiansen. I love to see those HB styles being used, and Mark is a master!
