In my last post I told you about 'the Swish' hairbrush, designed by Bryn the Brush. Well, it turns out that I have drawn this brush before, but I'd completely forgotten that I had. It is included in this drawing of my research HQ - also known as my kitchen table. I wonder if you can spot it? No? Let me help you out...

Can you spot it now? You might need to click on the drawing. No? It's just below the starwberry mug, next to the pixie research journal, to the left of the drawing of the tall hat. No? Surely you spot it can now...


YES. Next to the tiny bottle of ink and to the left of the pixie ball of string. Now, you can see what kind of scale I am working to. And, you'll fully understand why my eyesight is getting worse by the day.

This pixie research is not an easy job , you know. But, I guess, somebody has to do it.

Also, I'm very excited to tell you that I (and specifically this blog) have been selected as one of the Froudian artists of the month. Yeah, that's just Brian Froud one of my all time illustration heroes. And, in no small part an inspiration for this book.
