You said “And, to my knowledge, I haven’t seen a dragon book with talking animals”. Just in case you want such a book, try The Enchanted Forest Series by Patritia Wrede. The animals talk and the dragons too.

This is so exciting! I think, from what little I’ve seen, it looks like some of your very best work. Looks more Harry Roundtree in crazy fantasy land rather than fuzzy animal stuff.
Can’t wait!

It was an inspired idea to go with animal characters. No need to worry about sentimentality. Your characters–animal or human–will always have depth and uniqueness. You mentioned a lot of great sources of inspiration, and I’d add Garth Williams in “Mister Dog” and “Home for a Bunny” who came up with really charming and enduring animal characters. I feel sure “Kenny” will become a classic and do KG proud.

I always keep an eye out for your posts and love to read them! I LOVE how you include sketches almost every time. It’s amazing to see perfect, loose sketches. I sent you a letter a while ago and got your reply last week! I was so, SO excited! My jaw hung loose as the letter unfurled. I can’t believe you sent me an original sketch!!! I appreciate it sooo much. Thank you! It was incredible seeing the master’s work first-hand. Thank you so much.

Cool! But why not replace the characters with faeries? Honestly.
Kenny: Hob (but still a tint of cuteness)
The Dragon: Um…duh
Saint George: An elf or a hired goblin mercenary.

I Love the book by Kenneth Graham and your art, so I think it will be a good combination. You’ve really got my reading list booked; A Giant Problem is number two,a follow up to this one….

Thanks for posting your behind the scenes sketches. As an artist they are what sometimes inspires me the most.

As always your work is fantastic.
