Harold & the Grumpy Pumpkins – Book 2


Book 2 is in the works! Well, the rough draft is complete, but now the editing and artwork continue. Like the first book, this one will also have lots of interior artwork. Here is the intro blurbs and a rough art sample. If you were to take Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz and throw them into the blender with Harold and the Dreadful Dreams, you would get Grumpy Pumpkins as the result.


“In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die;
Ever drifting down the stream,
Lingering in the Golden Gleam;
Life – what is it but a dream?”
Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

“That proves you are unusual,’ returned the Scarecrow; ‘and I am convinced that the only people worthy of consideration in this world are the unusual ones. For the common folks are like the leaves of a tree, and live and die unnoticed.”
– L. Frank Baum, The Land of Oz

“The snozberries taste like snozberries!”
Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory


“We are DEATH MELON!” (crowd cheers)

Bog Thing concept Art from Book 2

Here’s a little color rendition I did a couple of years ago when drawing concept art for Puck the Pathwinder, Book 2 of the trilogy.  I called it a “mugwump” originally, and I guess it kind of does look like a mugwump, right?

Daily Musing – The Art of a Story

I found this on Imgur today, just a random posting from someone.  I don’t know what it is, or who did it, or what it is even about, but it tells a story, the kind of story I would personally like to RETELL and find out how it got to this point.
