Last week, I packaged up my Korean copy of Stinky! for a trip to Spain, and sent him to visit fellow illustrator Tomas Serrano.
In return, Tomas sent me a signed copy of the wonderful Salfon, El limpiador de tejados. I don't speak Spanish (dos cervezas is my limit) but Tomas has kindly done me a translation. The title means Salfon the Roof Cleaner: while cleaning the roof of a witch who is in disguise as a regular person, Salfon learns her secret.
Tomas's illustrations are gorgeous. Vibrant watercolours and great characters. Some wonderful draughtsmanship too: I especially like the ariel views of roofscapes - very tricky stuff! Thank you so much Tomas.
That's great isn't it. I wonder if that's something you could use to promote your own books in some way.
Draw different characters of your own reading your own books in different places... as if you're not busy enough anyway.
What an good idea Damian. That way you can promote two books at the same time and have a bit of fun with it! it's particularly interesting that Tomas has placed his character in a real garden setting.
Thank you very much Lynne for posting the image. I think this can promote Stinky and Salfón... in Korea, ha, ha. Unfortunately, Salfon is (now) out-of-print. He is like a ghost... Poor boy. Perhaps in Christmas will arrive my new character, Lula.
it's absolutely fine! i love both of your works!
