RAAAGHHH!

Guitar-playing aliens stole my whole day. I did not do a single thing today (well, I ate, breathed and pet my cat) except sit at my computer doing the finishing drawings, and then scanning all 114 illustrations, and then leveling/cleaning up stray lines in Photoshop. And suddenly I look up and it's 1AM!

Also I'm freezing because it's winter and I don't have enough layers on.

But this is all okay, because I am finally done (DONE!) with Guitar Rocket Star. Except the cover. But covers are fun~~~! (as I keep telling myself) Man. This book seriously took a lot. Of... something. I'm not sure what, but a lot of it. I collected 57 reference pictures—even more than when I did the Dinosaur book and had to reproduce allosaurus (and other) skeletons. I've got pictures of La Grande Vitesse (aka the big red Calder sculpture downtown), rockstars, wannabe rockstars, tubas and electric guitars, rappers, mohawks, the Edmund Fitzgerald, Elvis, bagpipes, families with mullets, the Statue of Liberty and so much more! (doesn't it just make you wanna read the book?) I still have 19 books in the series to go (hehe, I owe my job to the English alphabet), but it's good to have this one finished.

Anyway, I guess I should sleep now. Before I turn into an icicle.
