Creatures Eavesdrop


This was a 2020 project. Humans on Twitter were invited to complete the sentence, 'Today I...' and Creatures followed with their interpretation. 
(The way this is done follows the same rule as for the Creature books -- while doodling I think only of t the person and whatever they wrote, once doodling is done, it is considered the most correct interpretation ever, no changes are made). 


And below is the doodles that inspired the project, they showed up after a rather sad conversation with a friend, but brought some merriment after.

What I learned from Publishing a Paperback with Amazon

Lesson 1: Always order a proof copy. This is Amazon KDP’s new feature. It does mean that you have to wait, but it is worth it. Now, I am a person pursued by typos. I thought that with a tiny picture book, they won’t find me, but they did. When the proof finally arrived, the typos were all there, giggling.                                             Spelling Lessons in the Forest of Typos  By the way, my initial impatience resulted in a single copy with pretty unique typos.   One of my twitter friends has it, and I feel guilty about it.

While the book went live, the changes took a while to update. As I didn’t realise that was the case, I might have slowed down the process by uploading the corrected file twice.                                         The Spirit of Waiting with a Touchscreen Artefact If I were to

Road not-taken

We have received the following question from  a rambling collective   @ zerofracks   'Do I take the road less travelled or the highway, and what will happen if I stray from the path?' 'Just so you know, those who judge you from above, or pop up out on the path in front of you, or even those who carry heavy loads in many directions, know very little of the nature of roads, or dragons' Note: a rambling collective was one of the people who did not make it into the first book .  It is now part of the second book, due to be published on 21 June 2019.  Another note: If you'd like a special doodle in answer to your question, and don't want to wait until the next round, you can order one from the creatures.
