Any way the books about an author who is a secret home made morphine addict, trying to write  a “howdunit” murder novel taking place on the M40. This leaves him separated from his wife and children liven in a tiny bungalow, obsessed with scale, roads and the motor-ways that surround him. So for the illustrations I’ve decided to do some wood cuts. I thought the grain would provide some nice lines such as the ones you get on a ruler. I think it works quite well on the syringe but I’ll let you be the sole judge of that. I’m using CMYK as a way to play with the objects and create new elements and shapes. But I think this lacks the dreamy characteristics of the main characters drug of choice. 

Well other than that I AM BUSY with interviewing illustrators for an essay. Getting some sort of work experience for the summer. which doesn’t sound like a lot but there’s research and phone calls and writing and research and writing. So just one big horrible loop of trouble and toil. But I shall try to remain chipper as it usually all pans out.  

Wishing you all a mellow week James
