I posted an article a while back, about how I like to produce a short sequence of drawings on a single page as a warming up exercise before I get down to the really messy business of ‘creativity.’ Well, with this recent cold snap moving in I’ve been needing more warm-ups than usual and I came up with this, um…story. It’s not really a story, of course, but it’s a staring point for me, suggesting new characters and a possible scenario within a story idea.
I love wordless books. There are plenty of them out there, be them picture books or comics for kids of ALL ages. I’ll see if I can dig a few out and post them here. Just goes to show you don’t need words to tell a story.
Um….best not tell the others in here I said that – you know how sensitive authors can be. (No? Oh, don’t get me started).

Fabulous work, David! You can really see the distress of that poor beaky dude.

Wordless books?!!! Cuh – bwah – gah – grrr!
Love your work though. How about producing some limited edition posters? I’d buy ‘em!

Funny you should say that – I have plans along those lines later in the year.

Ooh yes – I’d like a poster of that on my office wall!
