Working away on the Situation. I can finally see the end. I think it'll be a great webcomic.

coSo glad I left the studio intact at my mom. I’m working on The Situation for Tor and really loving it. Few distractions all tucked away in my mom’s unfinished basement playing music on my laptop. I also have a proposal open in a word document, which I hope to have finished by the time I reach

These images are from a year long project I've been doing with Jeff Vandermeer, an author whose writing has had a tremendous impact on my work and thinking, casing me to look at the world a little deeper and with greater wonder. BellySnatcher was started about a year ago based on a dream Jeff had. Jeff dreamed that he was collaborating on a book with me called BellySnatcher, so I I illustrated a book based on his dream. I've used not only his dream but my responses to all of Jeff's amazing work, his writing about hidden things and people and the dizzy, scary depths we face. The mixture of deadly serious and ridiculous. I hope that I've captured some of Jeff's wonderful sense of humour as well.

Another piece from the Vandermeer collaboration. There is something about his writing that causes me to respond with collage and humour (collage Humour?)....

This is the chapter head for my new Harry And Silvio project. The name of this first chapter is The Cloud Cave. I've finished all the initial inks on the 14 page chapter and am now going to go back and do revisions which largely consists of going back and forth between black and white inks. It should all be done this weekend.
For the first time in over a year I feel like I solidly know what I'm doing over the next 4 to 6 months. I have three projects on the go. It actually feels really good to be making things again and not wheel spinning. I just sent off the contract to Annick Press, a Canadian publisher, to do a new picture book. More on that later. Also, I'll be serializing a comic on Tor's website with writer Jeff Vandermeer. That's that amazing Situation project I've talked about before. And finally I'll be working on this Harry and Silvio story. I'm not sure how I'll proceed with that. I envision a story of about 120 150 pages. Next week I'll be sending it out to publishers. If it doesn't get picked up I'll continue to publish it as a minicomic and perhaps ass a webcomic. I may do this if it is picked up. We'll see, I guess.
Anyway, that's my next few months. I have to go now. Henry is poking the keyboard....
You are such an inspiring artist. I love rabbits so much too...great job!
Thank you so much Rachael!
