• NEW YEAR - NEW WORK •

The year started very early work-wise at Hot frog Graphics, I was even catching up on a few on New year's Day.

I'm very pleased that jobs have flowed in but it has meant some long hours to kick off 2014.

I've just finished the first of two great novelty picture books for Cheeky Monkey publishing.

Obviously these won't be ready for release for a while, but I couldn't wait to share with you a few of these cropped teaser pictures.

If you want to discover where these fun critters are racing off to, then watch this space.

•CRAZY MONSTER MIXER IS PUBLISHED•

GET IT HERE

Over 4 months in the making, many notebooks and tons of sketches and over 9Gb, that's NINE GIGABYTES of new artwork.

14 monsters in total but the potential to create many, many more as you mix new ones from existing body parts.

Over 50 full screens are displayed in the book - made of almost 500 individual images or 'assets'

150 sound files - 2 colouring-in pages - and over 20 secret buttons that lead to even more fun and excitement.

I’ve already started writing various back stories for

these monsters and plan to bring out a follow up set

of tales linked to each of the most popular monsters.

•BEEBLE & BLINK GO GLOBAL

My new app. picture book went 'live' this weekend.

Beeble and Blink's first book of COLORS was published as a 5 page free preview on the Interactive Touch Books App site.

I had imagined that releasing it early as a free preview - showing the first 5 pages - might prove to be a very useful marketing tool.

My expectations were vastly exceeded when I realised that over 50,000 readers have automatically received it into their library this weekend.

Hence the frantic ratings. Ga Gunk which has done quite well in the 8 weeks that it's been out has totalled 34 ratings.

In the few hours that COLORS was available it has already shot to over 100 ratings with the majority being 3 stars and over.

I must really put the hours in now to have all the rest of the book available in around 2 weeks time.

It's a total joy to work on, so I'm hoping I can pass this on the the users in their experience of the book.
