    Very cool. Makes me want to read the rest of the story. NOW! ;)

    Hope the wait isn't too terribly long.

    Amazing! And I am so psyched about the pairing of you and Gaiman!

    Outstanding. Rex and Gaiman. Wow! Traditional media rather than digital?

    Thanks, guys!

    Yeah, mostly traditional, KMB. Oils on top of a digital print of my P-shop color study.

    Delightful! I'm a school librarian and know how much this will appeal to kids!

    That's a cool idea! What do you seal the print with before you paint? Or is that a trade secret?

    Will be out in fall of '12, Christina.

    Looks great, Adam. I love the palette, and the paint's added some lovely texture on top of what we saw at IMC. Good luck with the rest of the book, can't wait to get hold of a copy... Neil Gaiman AND Adam Rex in one book?? Terrific!

    So I'll be the skipping record and repeat that it was my thought precisely that a Gaiman-Rex team sounds brilliant. How did you two meet and decide to do a project together?

    I read an interview with Neil Gaiman where he said he was determined to write a children's book that could be published in Mainland China, about a panda that sneezed - is this the book!? So excited that two of my favorite authors are teaming up!
