http://www.naobrown.com/news Tue, 24 Aug 2010 21:36:44 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I saw something on the internet, can't remember where, but it inspired me to do this simple 'two colour' idea, just quickly for fun. It's all good, 'getting to know her' practice. http://www.naobrown.com/news/2010/08/24/knowing-is-not-enough/ Had to break the monotony of doing page layouts, I'm itching to get on with the drawing, so knocked up a quick Nao for practice purposes. I'm afraid I neglected this blog somewhat while I was writing... but I'll start posting more sneak peak stuff soon, so please keep coming back. http://www.naobrown.com/news/2010/08/20/itching/ ...No it's not, but it does look a bit like him... when he was younger maybe... I think it's the funny hair. Good news - I've pretty much finished writing The Nao of Brown, just one more night with a fine tooth comb and then deliver it tomorrow. Woo-hoo! Meanwhile here's those ... http://www.naobrown.com/news/2010/08/09/is-that-christopher-walken/ I've just taken a short break from writing Nao, in order to step back a little - plus a good storyboarding job came in at just the right time (which I'll post here soon). When I get back to Nao (tomorrow), I'll be starting on the 4th draft ... So ... http://www.naobrown.com/news/2010/07/20/the-bends/ Recently, while unpacking all the boxes that have been in storage for a while, I found this little gem... This A5 copy of Circular Field holds a very special place in my heart, not only because it marks my first meeting with Philip Bond and Alan Martin, but because I just ... http://www.naobrown.com/news/2010/06/14/chuga-chuga-chuga/ Writing update: Doing nights is proving fruitful, I'm up to page 83 and well over the halfway point of the first draft, still well on course to meet the schedule I've set for myself. Makes for pretty boring blog posts though... sorry. http://www.naobrown.com/news/2010/06/14/marvin-he-was-a-friend-of-mine/ I have to say, right now I'm feeling a bit weird. Like I've been given a very large unwieldy dark mass to carry... and I've got to sort it out, get it into some kind of shape. It's way too big to carry unaided, so I better drop it down ... http://www.naobrown.com/news/2010/05/26/roy-neary/ It's been a very good week this week, I'm feeling very lucky. Today I signed my book deal with the lovely people at Selfmade Hero... Here's a photo... I was so chuffed, they'd prepared one of those oversized cheques you get at charity events... That's me in the red nose, ... http://www.naobrown.com/news/2010/05/20/big-cheque/ I could only manage two and a half weeks 'paternity leave' this time round, before having to get back to work... And since then it's been pretty solid... Lots of storyboarding (here)... as usual, they're not necessarily in the right order. More on The Nao of Brown soon. http://www.naobrown.com/news/2010/04/09/lots-of-sto%c2%b7-ry%c2%b7-board-stor-bord-str-brd/ Not posted recently, due to the birth of my second son . He's filling out nicely thanks, four weeks old now and I'm having to get back to work, so posting will return to a 'normal service' very soon. Meanwhile, somebody uploaded my Gorillaz 'To Binge' video to youtube. Here's the storyboard ... http://www.naobrown.com/news/2010/03/29/meanwhile/
