Harold and his family

13 September, 2013 by Alex

A little bit of news slipped out this week about a Pigsticks & Harold animated series being in development. It’s a massive thing, for sure, but it’s currently at the beginning of a very long journey if it’s ever to see the light of day.

Jam media (who created the Tilly & Friends show based on Polly Dunbar’s books, among many other great shows) have already made some amazing animated scenes of the pair. Maybe one day I can post them for all to see. They look brilliant, and in a week’s time we’ll be pitching them and the show at the Cartoon Forum.

So, fingers crossed. We’ve worked incredibly hard on this, and maybe one day my assuming pig and unassuming hamster will get their own TV show.

So for now, here’s a picture I’ve done for the Cartoon Forum pitch of Harold and his Family. I love Harold.

I picked up a pencil!

Mr-Key

That’s what I just did. I love drawing, and I don’t do it enough.

This chap’s from something new. A rough idea that’s taking shape, in and around all the other things that are going on.

The chance came to draw Harold in an old diving suit, so here it is.

It’s an incredibly exciting time for Pigsticks & Harold. I’m not going to talk about why, just yet, but hopefully in time for the launch of the first book in May next year there’ll be some super amazing news.

Keep your ears and eyes open!

Pigsticks & Harold get a little bit closer

2 July, 2013 by Alex

p&H blad I went into Walker to talk about Pigsticks 2 today, and came home with this lovely little pre-pub blad of a section of book one. It’s always such a strange feeling seeing your book actually become a book, and while it’s not the finished thing, it’s edging closer.

Very exciting.
