The Search for Wondla is the best book I have ever ever read and I read all the time. I absolutely loved the magic and fantasy of it. Is the new volume "The Search Begins"? How long do I will have to wait. I cannot wait Thank you so much...Nat Hi

The presentation sounds neat. It's great to hear professionals talk about their artistic process. ... wow, that sounded stuffy. It's fun, really! Are you planning to visit King of Prussia/the Philadelphia area again in such a tour? I saw you once at the King of Prussia mall, but you didn't go there again for your more recent tours. :c You had me at world-building.

I wish I could say that I was sophisticated enough to have controlled my linework in an intentional way while working on my various projects from D&D to S'WICK. But the truth is that it was just an evolution of my style as I played around with mediums and became more confident in my drawing. I think I was more about capturing the spirit of a world in lines and paint. Have you found the hidden PC sheets on my site? Just roll the dice... Hiya Steve,

My wife and I were at the Third Place Books stop you did with Holly. I won your impromptu "Just Because We're In Seattle" Beholder sketch, which is proudly hanging in our group's gaming den. :) That presentation on the inspiration of old myths and fairy tales on your work in general and the Spiderwick books in particular was lots of fun, we really enjoyed it. Definitely looking forward to the next visit! I dunno, another question I was wondering about is if/how your "world building" is related to the art, and how those two interact. For example, Planescape was a world-setting of infinite possibilities, and your whimsical, pencil/watercolor art reflected the light-hearted tone of that. On the other hand, Spiderwick grounded mythology in the modern world, and the heavier ink drawings seem to reflect that "solidity," if you will. I don't know if that was intentional or not; maybe it's just the evolution of your style. But if you are on the topic of story/art interactions, I'm curious to hear about that process. And also if you ever plan on flirting again with the AD&D 2e style, which has inspired more character concepts for adventurers (and their inevitable gruesome deaths) than I care to think about!
