Issue:  001   |   Australian Summer   |   January, 2007

A little concept I've been working on, as new art for my website.  Some may note I no longer have the backyard featured as the home menu, and has been replaced with the bevy of Jens. Said backyard is featured in Sometimes in my Backyard (mentioned below) and may still be seen via Characters > Minya > Sometimes in my Backyard on my website.  I wanted to make my site a bit more "personal" as it represents not only what I can do, but myself as well.
Also doing some "holiday themed" ones, might be suitable for travel and living magazines - stay up to date via my blog.

Welcome to the first newsletter for thickblackoutline. It probably should be a Vodcast to stay one step ahead of the "kids", think of it as a directive blog, rather than an attractive one*. (!)  globalgabble for yakking all around the world.

So sit and more importantly relax, its like having a coffee/tea/cocktail, with thickblackoutline. 

Sending these seasonally might include some recipes as seen on the thickblackoutline blog - its nice to have a cake with coffee!

We'll cover what's coming up, current projects - if you have any recommendations for us or think [a] thickblackoutline would be perfect for an upcoming job, or know someone, who knows someone else, etc etc... please reply to this email.

Keep scribbling,

I usually include a few other items with my submission including some character samples and promotion pieces.

Looking to do this as a board-book if not for a little bit older readers, 3-7 years.

Minya's adventures are typical of a pet cat, no wearing boots, or playing fiddles!  Perhaps the reader will be able to relate to their one pet cat with what she gets into, and sees on a typical day.

Dragon Chef
Taken from a children's picture book I am currently working on for submission of the same name. Dragon Chef's specialty is desserts!

So you cream the butter and sugar, add the vanilla and then mix in the melted chocolate well before adding the egg.  Then sift flour, cinnamon and baking powder.  Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for 30 mins. Roll out to about 5mm thickness.  Bake in preheated 180° oven for 15 mins, or until golden.

These cookies continue to haunt me when I see the photo, screaming at me to make some more!

Tako
Sliced octopus over a rice, with wasabi underneath and a strip of seaweed. Quite sweet in flavour.

001, 

*What is she yakking on about?  I see a blog as attracting people to have a look, leave comments and even subscribe (rss) but this sort of information is targeted at an audience directly.
