Good stuff. Is that first image how that frame started life? My thumbnails look like grey spaghetti with fourteen different variations one on top of the other. I'm stunned by the idea that you produce the perfected composition straight off.
Looking good. Love seeing more of the process stuff, also comforting to read that spaghetti drawings are quite common.
I saw in an earlier post that you're shaking off the "bumbling buffoonery" of Nigel Bruce, I confess that I do have a soft spot for that bumbling Watson but I'll look forward to seeing yours and Ian's take on him.
I really like the Billy Wilder film and was wondering if you've watched it and what you thought of it?
When can we expect to see the book on the shelves?
With regard to sales, I've no idea - I've had my head down working on Holmes. Local stores and Gosh in London seem to be shifting plenty of copies, but I've no idea yet what that means in the grand scheme of things.
With regard to 'bumbling buffoonery' (there's certainly been some on my part trying to address this point) I shall make a post out of my reply as there are considerable details to be covered there that I feel would also merit some illustration.

ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to seeing this book, Ian.
I second Rob, does it really spring fully formed?! Like the look of Holmes, has a Dan Dare-ish feel, which seems proper.
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean. No, don't worry, I do have plenty of spaghetti drawings too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like.
That's a relief.
ReplyDeletethey seem well distributed these Eye Classics, any idea what the sales are like?
Very nice !!

But in short, Yes! Excellent!! May 2009.
I am a fan of Holmes. Despite overdosing on the endless repeats on BBC7, I will definitely be tracking down a copy of this.
ReplyDeleteHi Reuben, glad to hear it. Many thanks:)
