I'm working my way through the second of four painted graphic novels that I'm writing and illustrating for Harper Collins. They are called Magic Trixie. It's taking me quite a while, because they are each 94 pages of painted art. Plus, all the design and cover art... Each story revolves around our main character, a little witch girl named Magic Trixie. She lives in a greystone builing with her folks and grandparents and her cousin Tansy. Her mom runs a cafe from the first floor flat. It is called Elixir. Magic Trixie goes to Monstersorri school with her friends Loupie Garou-the wereworlf girl, Stitch Patch-the patchwork boy, the Twins who are vampires and Princess Nefi-a mummy girl. She also has a littl e black kitten named Scratches. He is her best pal. Here is a sample of what the interiors will look like.

It's a bit more daunting that I thought. Mostly because the publisher wants 3 books in house before they are comfortable releasing the first one. It makes sense becaue they want to make sure they will not miss a shipping date. But, on my end that means drawing and painting about 300 pages of art before anyone will see it! Thanks for your patience. I hope you will find it worth the wait.
