This is a ridiculous time of year isn't it! Why does xmas have to go for the whole of December do you think? I actually do enjoy the xmas period - people are generally much happier and I love the summer time (here in Australia!) and the sound of cicadas drowning out every other sound, but geez it's a busy time of year. There never seems to be enough time to get everything done. It's been very busy for me for different reasons as I have been working some (ill advised) hours in the studio on my book. It's going well (I say while I'm in a positive frame of mind) but, again, I wish I had more time.
Anyway, this is just a quick post to say that I wish everyone a really happy xmas and hope that you all travel safely to all your xmasy destinations. I'm going to be out of the studio for a bit (I'm really looking forward to going outside - I heard a bird yesterday and it sounded so nice) and will be back in the new year. I'll leave you with another little peek from a larger illustration of Rosie riding the Brooklyn Bridge. See you soon. GG x
PS. And check out my new Facebook site (http://www.facebook.com/GusGordonbooks) as I have experimenting with social media - it's crazy!

Wow, Gus! This book is going to rock the world. The hard work is paying off. This illo and the one with the NY rooftops / water tanks are really fantastic. Order me a few copies for next Christmas. T
Your a good man Tristan!Will put in an order - hardback I assume!
Have a great xmas mate and look forward to catching up early in the new year. Love to all.
Count me in - I will be buying it. I wanted to be like Wendy but now I think I want to be Rosie.

Lordy that's just brill! I see you have fiddled with your style a little too GG. It looks amazing. Where is this thing called The Brooklyn Bridge?? Can I go there too? jxx?
Great illustration! Love the background and the naturalness of the characters...a day in the life...
I have been thinking a lot about the whole christmas time consumerism build up for the month(s) before the actual holiday. Here, in the States, the economy hinges on consumerism and I was thinking the other day that the we really have a new god we are all worshipping...Cynical me.
Hope you had a great break Gus! ^_^
