Or Ages Dark & Light<\/h4>\n

New books are always a welcome event, especially as they provide an excuse to briefly escape from the studio and get out into the rest of the world a moment. (Like many illustrators, the time spent proportionately in the former as opposed to the latter is sadly inferior in quantity; quality, of course,\u00a0 not being issue open to debate or even wise to contemplate.)<\/p>\n

And, yet another chance to set thoughts to paper. A portion of this is my personal ramblings<\/a> for the book itself, but has been considerably restructured and augmented thanks to the kind prodding (ignore illustrator\u2019s hesitations, uncertainty, unsureness, doubt, irresolution, indecision,\u00a0 equivocation, vacillation, waffling, wavering, second thoughts, dithering, stalling, dawdling, temporization, delay, reluctance, disinclination, unease, and dubiety too) and pertinent questions (\u201cCan you repeat that? Intelligibly. Please?\u201d) of Ruth Prickett at Illustration Magazine<\/a>. See their FALL 2007 issue. Buy a copy. Subscribe. (Buy a back copy – there is a lovely article in the Spring 2007<\/a> issue which should be in the libraries of all self-respecting admirers of Mervyn Peake.)<\/p>\n
