Fan Art: Owly (SPX 2009)

So here I am, trying to catch up on all the post-SPX euphoria – the new books, the pictures, and more. Knowing that some of my favorite comics authors would be present at SPX, I created these watercolor pieces of fan art for each of them prior to the event. The reactions were both of surprise and gratefulness from the creators, and for this I am grateful in return. :)

The piece here was made for Andy Runton, creator of the clever and throughly adorable Owly graphic novel series. If you haven’t seen Owly you have to see it for yourself. It is one of the cutest and good-hearted comics ever published, and Andy is an equally sensitive and great guy to talk to.  Here’s him evidently amused by my gift… Seeing as Owly is so used to the forests, I decided to take them to the beach, for a change.

Just in case it is not evident enough, you can enlarge and see every drawing I post in full color. Just click on the big drawing above.
