Some Bera Art And Other Stuff

Here's a page from my Pitch for Bera The One Headed Troll, just watercolour and gouache, no digital.

I just sent off a more complete outline to the editor at First Second and now I'm on tenter hooks. Trying not to think about it. The outline took longer than I thought. I wrote Bera as a prose story years ago. I have no idea where that story is but I can recall it enough to effectively write a comic based on that story. Better than that story, actually. But new ideas kept coming and the story kept growing. I also included alternatives, like if this story element doesn't work I also wrote this. Not sure if that's the right thing to do. In any case the story is off and I am waiting for edits.

Also wrapped up a picture book last week. So, today I'm working on a book cover for the UK, which I think will be done in about a week. It's the Christopher Edge series I've been doing for Nosy Crow. I'm trying to out do myself with this one....

After that it's commissions. And then I want to clear everything to just work on Bera.

Also, I wanted to recommend a comic to everyone. Check out The Bunker, only 1.99 and it's fantastic.
