Ginger M. Toast Miester - Study Sketch

Hey Friends...
So my good Swedish friend from BlogLovin Mattias came down to stay with us this weekend.
Mattias is a big fan of Surfing,
So we hung out at the beach all weekend,
Needless to say, i'm painfully sunburnt!
My stomach is bright red right now... hahaha

The Painting today is a Study Sketch of Ginger Marmalade Toast Miester.
If you don't know, Ginger Marmalade Toast Miester is a kid's story written by Sophie Ward that i am doing the artwork for.
This was a Early character Development sketch i did for it.
We ended up going in a different direction with it,
but i really like his glasses and his suit...
He's like the 007 cat! haha
Well anyways, i hope you like it. :)

Mr. Toastmeister

Wow, oh wow!
It seems like yesterday that my friend Sophie Ward and i started planning out
how her great story, "The Ginger Marmalade Toastmeister", would look...
I remember sitting at this amazing coffee shop in Santa Monica,
huddling around rough thumbnail sketches,
and brain storming all the little subtle touches we could add to it...
aw i miss those days!

I realized it was almost a year to the day since i started working on the book.
And don't worry, i will finish it really soon.
That is my goal! i'm closing in on it.
My friend Jason Jones hand wrote all the type for it!
This picture is a little sneak peak of page 13 out of it. :)
Let me know what you think!
