Times Have Changed

At the start of high school, just your average teens.
Times are certainly different for the teens at Royal Oak.  Before that fateful basketball game where the Nain Rouge reappeared to them, they were just part of the hustle and bustle of high school.  More faces in the crowd.

Since encountering the Nain Rouge again, high school is a very different place.  No one smiles, graffiti coats the lockers, trips are getting cancelled and things are going missing.  The world is a very different and difficult place.  

But our teenagers have changed too.  In the previous lives, they were no more special than anyone else.  There is something different about them too.  They are lights in the dark, glowing against the ever present shadow of the Nain Rouge.

Times are changing.  But luckily, the people are changing too...


Becoming so much more.

Back in the Red

Well now, my friends, it has certainly been a long while.  When the pencil hits the paper I rarely take time for anything else.

Part two of the Nain Rouge's battle is complete.  The illustrations were finished earlier in 2013.  I had a brief rest before summoning my strength for the final instalment of the Nain Rouge trilogy.

In the spring and summer time, I created the drafts for the book.  As of late summer, I have been starting work on the final illustrations for the final book.

It's been slow going as I battle the Nain Rouge and a full time job, not to mention my secret other lives! There will be food for your eager eyes soon, but first, enjoy a couple of my favourite moments from book II.

The Nain Rouge appears at a basketball game.

Supporting a fallen comrade.
