Playing with colour
An incomplete panel from our comic book, Podi. @artofsuri wants you to know I have taken a terrible photograph of her work and the colour will be better in the printed book and that I'm a bad person for posting this.

How To Feed An Artist
Homemade vegetable tempura and deep fried crickets in soya sauce. @artofsuri won't make art for anything less and she's very scary so we cook and we cook...
Pencils are inks
@artofsuri is refining her process and this is what the new pencils look like. We’re quickly learning that when you work on something for years, as you improve in your craft, you sometimes have to go back and revisit the old work, rearrange the furniture or, you know, tear down the building and start again...
We may have to shift publication date, but we’re hoping it’ll be worth the wait. The pages are coming along nicely. More updates, soon : )
Isuri’s on a Top Ten list (again)
What a nice write-up from these folk:

Nickelodeon editor, Joan Hilty said nice things about Podi, today @lankacomiccon
The cover of a book is always a strange beast. It must play nicely with the story in the book and it must also play nicely with the marketing department's wants. The three of us have been chatting, on and off, about the cover for Podi for about five years. Above is a small selection from this year by @artofsuri
And that’s how our comic, Podi, began. From that first email to the final, published book, it’ll have take nigh on a decade. We didn’t work on it everyday for those years but sometimes it sure feels like it, by golly.
That’s also what they really mean when the book jacket screams things like, “TEN YEARS IN THE MAKING!”
Fingers crossed, Podi will be in shops and on Amazon in early 2019. The frequency of posts on this blog would have you believe otherwise but we’re working hard - promise.
@artofsuri thinking about final colours for Podi. I think I stared at this thing last night during our entire weekly chat and didn’t hear a single damn thing that was said. Filthy co-writer and I are so lucky to be working with her.
