At long last, I've uploaded the final artwork for the follow-up to the mega-bestselling, award-winning, critically-acclaimed tour-de-force "Pajama Girl" (below), which is conveniently available through the fabulous MeeGenius app for iPhone and iPad!
This one is called "Pajama Girl Meets Blanket Boy," and I'm terribly excited to have it finished. Now, I have to bide my time and wait patiently while the MeeGenius folks wave their magic wands and turn it into a finished product. At which point I expect all of you to buy a copy. Or two. I'll even sign your iPad.
Just for funzies, I thought I'd record the process of finalizing one of the sketches for the sequel to my blockbuster international sensation, award-winning eBook "Pajama Girl", written by the lovely and talented Sarah Perry. I made rough thumbnails for the whole book, then scanned them and tightened the sketches in Photoshop.
This isn't a time lapse video, though. Just so you know. I actually draw that fast.
Can't touch this.
The final sketches for PJ2 are almost done. Here's a peek of my Photoshop files thus far. Some of these pages I may break up into two, but we'll see.
Once these are approved, it's on to final art!
A couple of updates that I'm pretty stoked about regarding the ingenius eBook I illustrated recently.
1
Looks like MeeGenius is not only including "Pajama Girl" in it's own iPhone and iPad app, but gave "Pajama Girl" it's very own app!
Congratulations to MeeGenius for having especially fine taste in children's literature.
2"Pajama Girl" was also recently featured under iTunes "New & Noteworthy" section. Yeah, iTunes knows what's up...
You would already know this, of course, if you have "liked"
my Facebook page. If you haven't, well, that's fine. Just bare it mind the next time a longship piled bow to stern with rhino-sized vikings shows up at your village armed to the teeth and looking particularly moody.
3"Pajama Girl's" author, the lovely and talented
Sarah Perry, will be attending this summer's SCBWI conference in La La land, so if you're headed out there, too, be sure to say hullo and congratulate her on the eBook, as well as on having especially fine taste in children's illustrators. If you're lucky, she might even sign your iPad (no body parts, please).
(I, unfortunately, will not be attending. I will be otherwise engaged deep in the bowels of Helheim in an epic struggle against the numberless Legions of the Dead in an effort to protect the Nine Worlds, humanity at large, and to locate a debit card I lost the last time I was in the area.
Someone's been renting all of the
questionable Eddie Murphy movies from Netflix with it, and I intend to find out who.)
I did, at least, design a little hand out for her to print and take along with her:
4And last, but certainly not least, I leave you with a bit of a JK Rowling-esque teaser:
It is my understanding that the author may or may not be working on a sequel. It may or may not involve a new arch nemesis, it may or may not involve getting to bed on time, but it will most
definitely include pink footy pajamas, heart-pounding adventure, and a cat.
It will also most definitely be better than
The Adventures of Pluto Nash.
