Finished the Seacritters cover design in a mad rush this afternoon, walked outside to holler at the sky in relief, immediately found The Best Free Pile Shirt.

Came back from the wilderness with a rare surplus of executive function and a desire to draw...for fun? Arrived at the studio yesterday and started churning out little cast portraits from Seacritters and it felt SO NICE. Yay for drawing.
A scattered selection of sketchcards and markers. The finished cards show primary cast members from Seacritters! The Hunt for the Jigamaree by Kate Milford and Lucy Bellwood. There's Lettice the capybara, Monty the badger, and Mr. Spruce (also a capybara). An unfinished card shows Mr. Miller the rat.

Seacritters! The Hunt for the Jigamaree sets sail March 2027! Impeccable writing by @katemilford.bsky.social! Exquisite interior colors by @nyaatalie.bsky.social & @charmgardens.com! Stalwart lettering assistance by @dchopkins.bsky.social & @dylanmeconis.bsky.social! What a labor of love.
The bright blue cover of Seacritters! The Hunt for the Jigamaree by Kate Milford and Lucy Bellwood. Monty Mellivore, a hopeful-looking young badger, runs across the top of the cover toting a sailor’s ditty bag. Below the flashy gold title, Lettice the capybara swings into view holding her rig knife. Their ship, the Rodentia, a topsail schooner, sails through a nest of flailing tentacles in the background.

Been mostly couch-bound/on crutches for the last six days and my hold on sanity is tenuous at best BUT I've got a hell of a Seacritters launch document coming together as a result

Fresh Start is one of my favorite books from the past few years. Fantastic to see this recognition including the entire team who made it happen. Getting to work with Karen on Seacritters was a total dream, and I can't imagine our book any other way.

Just received this Outstanding Comics Award from the ALA's Graphic Novels & Comics Round Table for @galegalligan.bsky.social's Fresh Start! This particular honor made a point to recognize the whole creative team which means me, the colorist, gets to have a nice mail day!

A little Seacritters cast lineup timelapse for Tuesday. (Anyone else put off doing this kind of thing until it becomes *absolutely* necessary? It's hard for me to judge when it's procrastination vs. genuinely helpful reference material, but in hindsight I should've done it WAY earlier!)

Wrote up some of my thoughts on preorders in publishing as a blog post! You can still get 25% off Seacritters through tomorrow, but your author friends will thank you *long* after that if you become an evangelist about the role early sales play in a book's life. lucybellwood.com/seacritters-...

To traditional publishers, preorders are what it's all about.

Updated my website, no big deal, now it has SEACRITTERS ALL OVER IT:

clockworkfoundry.com
A graphic novel cover for a book called SEACRITTERS! A little badger in a blue coat holds a red ditty bag in one paw and an hourglass in the other; a little capybara swings from a line with a knife in her other paw. In the background, a schooner under sail on a blue sea is surrounded by four magenta tentacles.

Pawing through piles of process art from SEACRITTERS! Book 1 today. Echidnas were a challenge! Their hind feet FACE BACKWARDS. They've got weird snoots! I needed to make a lot of sketches & models to get Ms. Mortar right. Glad @katemilford.bsky.social wrote a book with so many unusual beasts in it.
Blue pencil sketches of various echidnas, small quadrupeds with hedgehog-like spines and long snouts. A clay figurine of Ms. Mortar, a bipedal echidna wearing an apron and goggles. A color sketch of Ms. Mortar, a bipedal echidna wearing an apron and goggles and carrying a long match for lighting deck guns. A panel from Seacritters! featuring Ms. Mortar the echidna showing young Monty Mellivore (a badger) around her gunnery cabin. She's wearing pink fluffy bunny slippers and the walls are covered with ominous-looking jars and buckets of powder.
