Two-minute interview: Nicholas Kole
Featherheads, if you haven't yet caught up with Nicholas Kole it's about time you did. I can't wait until we can show you the character designs he's been doing for the animated series. They are luminous, full of personality and beauty. Backers have seen previews already, but backer or not you can get a sense of his art style by checking out his Tumblr. He's amazing.He and comic artist Jonny Jimison got a chance to hang out at Hutchmoot, and this video was one result. (Jonny is super fun, by the way, and he writes a great series called Martin & Marco, which is sort of a LOTR+Calvin & Hobbes-style adventure. You can read it online here and purchase print copies here.)In this video, Jonny asks Nicholas all kinds of questions while Nicholas draws a Monkey Queen. :-)https://youtu.be/GlsaQ_zCFtU
The Ballad of Lanric and Rube
I missed you dear readers last week! Last weekend was Hutchmoot, which is the most wonderful thing this side of the Dark Sea but it does have a tendency to wipe everyone out for a few days (or a week) afterwards. But we're back! The tirelessly fantastic Chris is wrangling everything from animation to t-shirt sizes to Wingfeather Tales proofreading. Andrew is glorying in fall colors and writing the foreword to said Tales. And I am here to post a little snippet of one of them for you. :-)Here, without further ado, is Jonathan Rogers reading the beginning of his magnificent The Ballad of Lanric and Rube![embed]https://youtu.be/7rdZA6be1d4[/embed]
Reading Writers podcast, part 2
Last month Andrew had the chance to talk with Aaron Armstrong at Blogging Theologially about reading by whim, distraction and the creative process, and teen paranormal romance. Here’s part two of their two-part conversation.
Reading Writers podcast
This month Andrew had the chance to talk with Aaron Armstrong at Blogging Theologially about book-writing, The Princess Bride, great sentences, and why Lewis and Tolkien have such staying power. Here's part one of their two-part conversation.
Armulyn: A Tribute
Today is the 19th anniversary of Rich Mullins' death. Andrew is spending the day posting his favorite lyrics, and I'm spending the day watching old concert videos. Did you know that Armulyn the Bard, with his kind, scratchy voice and his irreverent hope-filled joy is Andrew's tribute to his songwriting hero? "Sometimes, music is the moon."If you haven't heard Rich's music, or you'd like to remember him with us, here's a playlist to get you started.
Arundelle in clay
Sandra sent this in to show us her daughter's ingenuity in creating Arundelle out of Sculpey clay. The bit of purple in her leaf-hair makes me happy, as does the texture on the trunk. And look—there's even a face!
Forum fun: Oskar's quotes, Hollish school adventures, costuming, and thank yous. Plus a LOT more. Go browse around! :-)
