This latest project is so big that I had to start it in the kitchen. I could fit all three canvases in my studio, but I’d have to go outside and work on them through the window It’s been a REALLY long time since I worked this big. It’s good to stretch some long dormant muscles. I’ll keep you posted on my progress and/or anguish.
Last week, I posted a poll asking for your input.
The poll is now closed and you have spoken resoundingly. Over 80% of the poll participants feel the new collection plan should be put in play. This year, instead releasing separate collections for the strip, Squirrelosophy and the sketches in October, I will instead release a compilation of all the content (together) in 4 month increments.
That means new Bob books will be available at the end of April 2016, August 2016 and December 2016.
The covers and titles need a theme… my inspiration will be the three ‘official’ studio albums of the Jimi Hendrix Experience: Are You Experienced?, Axis:Bold As Love and Electric Ladyland.
Adding a squirrel to these inspired covers will be a challenge and totally fun. I’m sure I’m just as eager to see what I come up with as you may be. I will of course announce when the books will be available – along with behind the scenes progression of the cover art, etc.
Thanks to everyone who took a moment to vote!
Speaking in tongues seems cruel. Speaking in veggies seems more humane.
I have lots to say about what will start tomorrow, January 1, 2016. But, I’m going to hold off on posting all that for now. Instead, I leave you with a squirrel wearing a slightly ill-fitted hat. See you next year!
