The craziest part so far to read has been how smoothly it all went! I too would've thought Neil Gaiman would be somebody who would be quite particular about interpretations of his work. Awesome to hear that he respects the creativity of others and how they would interpret it! And also how conscientious he was of printing the books with the water color texture possibly looking like water damage. It's really cool the project went so well as I imagine it makes the memory of it that much better!
I love milk! I go through about a gallon or so a week myself. So it's super fun to see the different drawings of the bottles and spilt milk! Though I admit I cried just a little.
I loved reading about your process in creating the work in this book! I could see Neil Gaiman being one way or the other: 1) the way you expected where he would be very hands-on and providing feedback on what exactly he was looking for, or 2) realizing that he was the author and you are the artist, letting you do what you are best at. I'm so glad it was the latter!
Dude, you're just amazing! Would love to hear any I hate Fairyland (or pretty much whatever, hell you could talk about your favorite cereal honestly) stories.
I love hearing how this book came to be and all the behind the scenes SO much! Neil, contact me for ideas on the followup, "Fortunately, The Pizza".
yes!!!!
But what kind of pizza?
Nothing with pineapple.... Pineapple can be the antagonist

Awesome. Well, you're in luck. I'm going to be adding an audio commentary for premium subscribers very soon. Hopefully next week.
Had you seen any of Chris Riddell’s illustrations prior to starting yours? What do you think of the differences between them?
I did see his, but his book came after mine...and will be talked about next week in part 3.
