Such is the response to my last post – and I’m very touched – I thought I’d post a quick follow up. Firstly because I found some very early experiments, in acrylic, clumsy pastels (which was my eventual choice) and watercolour. I always like seeing artists unfinished work, their disasters (I have plenty of those) and their process of work in general, so rather than throw these in the bin I thought I’d let you have a look at them. Just don’t judge me too harshly, this is me being generous and exposing all my flaws, OK?
The other reason for posting is to say that all the kind comments people left about BOY have galvanised me somewhat and I have (sharp intake of breath) sent a copy to a publisher and they have expressed a tiny drop of interest…a sparkle in the eye…a wistful ambition. So we shall see. Meanwhile that superstar Jackie Morris has also mentioned the idea to a publisher she works with. And guess what? they are also not entirely uninterested!
Now, I’m the last person in the world to even consider counting any chickens before hatching. I wouldn’t even count the eggs. But you never know… you really never do. There’s just the tiniest fragment of hope that possibly…just possibly…BOY may have a happy ending after all. I’ll keep you (literally) posted!
