I've not had much time for forums recently (with work, a baby and a big house move) but I was browsing the comics and illustration threads today and thought I should've posted some of my 'Pirate Cruncher' stuff here. So here it is!
'The Pirate Cruncher' is my first picture book, published by Templar in the UK. The book is based on a sample illustration I did for my portfolio afew years back called 'The Pirate Muncher'. It's also been published in the USA and Australia, and will be published in Denmark, Italy, Finland, Germany and Brazil in the coming months. After ten years working in the games industry, but yearning to work on my own stories, it's a dream come true. And the best bit is I get to dress up as a pirate and read it to kids!
I guess there'll be a few of you who've seen this before, so sorry! Maybe I'll post some WiP, which I've not posted anywhere, to relieve the repetition...







The last one is a fold down flap, with a slightly different image on the back of the flap (the bit you see when you first open the page). It's the big punchline really, before the final 'Crunch!'
I'm working on my second book, which was going to be all space, robots and laser guns but is now another pirate story, so I'll post some of the WiP in a new thread soon.......
