The Legend of Lil' Red — I Got My First Copy!


HOORAY!

Despite the delay (two weeks and counting now?), I was able to snag one of the … let's say … unique copies of the original print run. While the pages inside may be somewhat chronologically free-spirited, the cover looks like honey-in-a-glass-jar sweet!

Opening the envelope it arrived in was definitely a "moment," even knowing the book inside was flawed. It was an interesting experience, flipping through it, I was looking at the illustrations so close my nose was leaving marks on the pages. I think I'll do a complete project recap when the book is on store shelves, right now all I can say is "Geez, Nate. You sure did draw everything big enough to fill the entire page, didn't you?"

from Nate Voss to you.
