Gary Northfield had a meeting and couldn't be there, but Viviane Schwarz and I chatted happily to Alex about comics, picture books, gossip about Gary, and how we got together to find a studio, \u003Ca href=\"http://panelborders.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/panel-borders-inside-the-fleece-station/\">\u003Cb>and you can hear it all here!\u003C/b>\u003C/a>\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://panelborders.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/panel-borders-inside-the-fleece-station/\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/fleecestation-93b0072ba1.jpg\">\u003C/a>\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cb>I've also posted my own very short interview with Viviane (who was messing about with boxes) over on \u003Ca href=\"http://fleecestation.co.uk\">the Fleece Station blog\u003C/a>.\u003C/b>\\r\n\\r\n(Thanks for linking it, \u003Ca href=\"http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/2009/fleece-station-banal-pigs-and-manky-monster-news/\">FPI blog\u003C/a>.) :-) From last weekend in Cambridge, you can \u003Ca href=\"http://www.nataliedarbeloff.com/blaugustine.html\">see sketches\u003C/a> posted by Natalie d'Arbeloff, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.metabunker.dk/?p=2193\">a review\u003C/a> by Matthew Wivel, and a \u003Ca href=\"http://www.prozacville.co.uk/2009/10/hello-innocence-though-it-seems-like.html\">conference-inspired comic\u003C/a> by Prozacville.\\r\n\\r\nIf you're interested in some \u003Ci>Morris the Mankiest Monster\u003C/i> activities, I've designed a couple pages where you can make your own monster, plus a 'Pin the Eyeball on the Monster' party game and a couple other fun sheets. \u003Ca href=\"http://www.randomhouse.co.uk/childrens/funstuff/funstuff.htm\">You can download them here!\u003C/a> \\r\n(Or here's the direct \u003Ca href=\"http://www.kidsatrandomhouse.co.uk/downloads/mankymonstergoodies.pdf\">PDF link\u003C/a>.)\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://www.randomhouse.co.uk/childrens/funstuff/funstuff.htm\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/pin_eye_monster1-88b573eab1.gif\">\u003C/a>\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://www.randomhouse.co.uk/childrens/funstuff/funstuff.htm\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/make_monster-037b4d8639.gif\">\u003C/a>\\r\n\\r\nThanks for the fifteen or so concerned people who have contacted me about the Random House Children's Book site \u003Ca href=\"http://www.randomhouse.co.uk/catalog/bookcb.htm?command=Search&db=main.txt&eqisbndata=0385615116\">listing the illustrator to \u003Ci>Morris\u003C/i> as Nick Sharratt\u003C/a>. I've complained four times to the publicist, editor, publisher and web guy, David Fickling has apologised twice, and apparently the website people live on a totally different planet and it's easier for me to change my name to Nick Sharratt than it is for the website to change the listing. So you can call me Nick now, it's a rather nice name, I suppose. The \u003Ca href=\"http://nicksharratt.com/\">other Nick Sharratt\u003C/a> is a fabulous illustrator and a lovely guy, maybe we can do a collaborative project now that we're called the same thing.","2009-10-31T12:14:00.000Z","fleece-station-podcast",[],"fleece station podcast!",1776628733516]
