After slight derailment, the night train rallys! I'd have been better off letting a few more of these plastic dinosaurs get to work, but in any case I have succeeded in finishing off 3 additional images for the book.
I will make a few more additions and then post the final art. The "one of those nights" theme has been further enlivened by the fact that our daughter has been inexplicably awake since 1:45AM. Not sick. Not able to hear me working from her bedroom. Not usually prone to this behavior... Nonetheless, she is sitting in my lap right now and has succeeded in clouding that aforementioned "endless potential" of an evening :) I've gotten some work done, even with her company, but far far less than I'd hoped. So it goes...
Here it goes, one of those inescapable realities (for me at least) of work as an author & illustrator: the all nighter! Part of me loves it. The family tucked soundly into bed, the dog rumbling and squeeking on the couch, the BBC awaiting at midnight, and 8 blissful hours of uninterrupted time stretching with endless potential... Sensibly enough however, I don't indulge in such practice on too regular a basis. More than most I imagine, but it can't be healthy. Deadlines light the fire however and I always need a few of these wonderful evenings to get a book project finally put to bed. Get cozy. Here we go!
