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] 

Armulyn: A Tribute

armulynToday 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.
