New #Adventuremice video!

Learn how to draw an ANCIENT EGYPTIAN MOUSE ✍️

Philip’s drawing of a mouse-ish looking Nelson atop the Trafalgar Square column, emitting various utterances: ‘My love for king & country keeps me warm’, ‘Pass the salt’, England expects that every mouse will do his duty’, and ‘Hello, sailor’. The pigeons and lions look pleased to be there.

Check out this great Nelson’s Column, drawn on Saturday by @philipreeve.bsky.social for our Adventuremice event at Waterstones Trafalgar Square! ✍️

Huge thanks to everyone who came along and drew ancient Egyptian mice with us!

Philip Reeve & I visited @gnashcomics.bsky.social in Ashburton today for #FreeComicBookDay!

We all drew Bosun (one of the #Adventuremice characters), then I drew this flipchart comic with a girl named Isla, and then on the wall! @philipreeve.bsky.social tidied up the bits I smudged with my hand😛

As you can see, there are a lot of more affordable small paintings as well as the big double-page showstoppers. Lovely gifts to give along with the book they appear in!

Did I tell you that our sixth #Adventuremice book - launching Thursday - has a big finale at the Cans Film Festival?

(…In actual cans, we're talking gritty realism here) 👀

Oh, what a lovely Ivy! 😍

Thanks so much for sharing! 💛

We can spot our sixth #Adventuremice book appearing on the horizon... Thurs, 13 March at all good bookshops!

Our online shop will be selling original art from the book from UK 9pm launch day!

POP QUIZ !💥💥💥💥💥
Does anyone know on which famous painting we modelled this illustration in the book?

Three stages of painting a book scene, showing the chaotic interior of two mouse film sets. On the left, the reader will see the shape of a large animal which has crashed through the wall. Pan across a scene of dismayed actor mice in Roman and cowboy costumes, through another crashed-through wall, to the tip of a large animal’s tail, disappearing off to the right.

A painting in 3 stages for our upcoming book 'Adventuremice: Mice, Camera, Action!':

1. @philipreeve.bsky.social drew the pencil rough for this one! (We both work on the pencil roughs)

2. I redrew it again in pen slightly differently

3. My final ink & watercolour painting!
