On Sunday, Jonathan Cape released ‘Shorties!’ their free eBook of the best of the Graphic Short Story Prize, an annual contest in which the winning entry is published in The Observer and the creator receives £1000. The collection contains the winning entries from the first 5 years of the prize and a selection of other entries chosen by none other than Bryan Talbot. I was very pleased when they asked to include my 2007 entry ‘Spilt Soda’ in the book. I can’t tell you how surprised, pleased, thrilled and honoured I was when they asked me if I would design and illustrate the cover. I have to thank editor Alex Bowler for taking such an interest in my work.
You can read ‘Shorties!’ online, download an iBooks version for your lovely tablet or print out the whole thing HERE.
Alternatively, you can read it all on The Guardian’s website here.
I told you November would be a busy month!
As a bonus, here are my roughs for the three ideas I sent to the editors:
