Nearly there!




Come on James! You can do it! Step AWAY from the computer and pick up that brush! There’s light at the end of the tunnel. One more big push and you’ll be there. Think of it… No more early starts and late nights. No more blues and yellows swirling before your eyes. No more thinking about cutting off your own ear. That HAS to be a good thing. So… Go, go, go!

    PLEASE don’t cut off your ear. I’m not coming to see you in Edinburgh if you do!

    Thanks for showing your process, it’s very interesting. As it’s usual, the book will be a wonderful one!

    My pleasure Roger. I love to see YOUR sketches also… Sometimes I think my best work is in the sketches and preliminary drawings!!!

    My friend, this is my eternal problem: I always prefer my sketches than my final art. I think I lose something intangible (the same word for english, spanish and catalan!) in the process…
