Marvellous! And congratulations!

 

[Dotsie]

Congratulations, on the baby and the excellent artwork! I have to buy a few, just to frame the dustjackets (maybe I can brush up on my french at the same time)

 

[deldaisy]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww a BABY!

Snuffle your nose down into his hair and enjoy that new baby smell.

Eh ! We don't know the name of your son in France...

Encore félicitations à vous deux en tout cas ^^


Also, the repaer was inspired by "L'angélus" a famous french picture :

Cool, thanks! Hadn't seen this painting before but I reallly like it. Don't know art but I know what I like

 

[Tonyblack]

Thank you! When I saw the cover it rang a bell with me and I couldn't think why.

Oh thank you BaronBreton! I was trying to place that pic but the portrayal of Death and the lady Miss Thingie (forgot her name again! )also reminds me of some of Bruegel the Elder's and of Van Gogh's earlier work featuring 'peasants'.

Raphael the brilliant Renaissance artist and architect (friend and rival of Michelangelo) painted a very beautiful study of cherubim, which have inspired many other artists including myself, that I've adapted digitally...

(which I dedicate to pooh since he loathes it so much! :twisted: ) and Kemar's opera angel that he's named his son after

The background skyscape also strongly reminds me of the work of JMW Turner and thus of his own hero the baroque artist Claude Lorrain in the treatment of the lighting especially

 

[DaveC]

Hey, Kemar! If you are out there? Are there any more on the way? I have new art cravings..

 

[Tonyblack]

Me too! I was only thinking the other day that I'd love to see some new artwork.

 

[kemar]

Hey sorry I didn't answered sooner...

I'm currently working on 3 of the sorceresses series...

"witches abroad": done
"wyrd sisters" : work in progress
"equal rites": I'm reading it another time, to find out the good illustration...

 

[Tonyblack]

Don't make the same mistake that Josh Kirby did with Equal Rites and put Esk's broom handle in an interesting place.

Although, if my theory about the book is correct, maybe it wasn't a mistake.

Looking forward to seeing the new covers, kemar!

You know I hadn't noticed that before Tony

 

[DaveC]

Awesome! Looking forward to them. I had the Night Watch cover as my phone wallpaper through all of the winter.

It's kind of apt really as it's a book about a female's attempt to be accepted in a male role.

So you didn't read the 7th comment on the Equal Rites discussion, then Mad.

That discussion was quite some time before Mad even joined the board.
