I'm sorry, it's been a while, three weeks even. I've been in between, and January is slowly but surely getting to all of me. How are you? Tell me what it was you last ate for breakfast, precisely what the last person you spoke with on the phone means to you, the last thing you broke—I'm uncomfortably full of questions and the skies here are an insistent shade of tell-me-everything.
WORK-RELATED NEWS:
Since returning from Brazil to what has felt like a bitter, dandelion-taste kind of cold, I have kept myself busy trying to finish the lettering for the German edition of The Illustrated Book of Sayings in what is an unreasonably short period of time, mostly because I cannot dedicate every waking moment to the new book illustrations until it is done.
(The German publisher has decided to use one of the Japanese sayings for the title and the cover, which is delightful.)
While in the Southern Hemisphere I had intended to write perhaps twenty entries, but I somehow (I don't know quite how) finished number fifty-one several days before leaving, and the draft manuscript for An Illustrated Guide to the Universe is done—now we pass it back and forth like a recollection, editing and snipping while I think about Spring.
THIS WEEK I FELL IN LOVE WITH:
Illustrator Sandra Rilova.
The end.
I shall endeavour to return to a more regular newsletter schedule, as there will likely be much to tell you in the coming weeks, months (mainly me hurling pencils and screwed-up papers across the room in frustration, I'm sure).
Farewell, see you next sometime.
