An illustrated book of poems all about foxes

Published by neil on June 11th, 2007

I was thoroughly satisfied with this drawing. So during a conversation with jEN about it, drawing in general, and writing, I seem to remember uttering words along the lines of: “Hey, we should collaborate. You should write a bunch of poems about foxes, I can illustrate them.”

A couple of hours later - and to my thrilled astonishment and much admiration - jEN had produced several genuinely entertaining fox-related poems, each of which was colourful enough to immediately invoke potential imagery for me and my pen.

So work is afoot to create an illustrated book of poems and drawings.  We do not have a title yet as that will likely come during the creative process. The drawings, I suspect, will take far longer than the poems, though it is a tall order to ask someone to generate perhaps as many as 30-40 poems from which we can select 15-20 for the finished book. It will take months and as this is destined to be published (hopefully), we cannot show progress of words nor imagery on our blogs. Though I expect you’ll know all about it if we manage to land a publisher!
