Finding balance…

While I’ve been at home struggling to find a workable balance between my day-job and my art (which is also work), the little ojingogo book has been off and out in the world doing wonderful things…

Ojingogo was launched last month at the Angouleme comics festival in France. The French edition is published by Petit Lezard – who also publish the Moomin books for France. It’s good to know ojingogo has friends.

The book is also available in Sweden, published by Ordbilder Media – who I consider to be good friends since my visit to Gothenburg late last year.

The second edition continues to do well at home with Drawn & Quarterly.

It’s a new year though and I am focused on the future. Working on new stories and drawing new drawings. Just need more time…

Someone left a piece of charcoal lying around so I started using that here and there.

Had a lot of fun. I’m going to go back a lot more this year…
