...Well, it really has been a long time since my last post and with good reason. I found that I had lost momentum and then lost heart with the whole project - I wasn't satisfied with the idea of doing a kid's magazine, it felt too sterile. Then, as you do, I discussed my problem with a few like-minded people and a new idea started to germinate...
This little magazine will now be very similar in style but it's content will be quite different. There are a few artists and illustrators out there at the moment who I really admire - they're adopting classic, well known nostalgic styles but using them to illustrate subversive messages. Or they are taking the classically 'cute' and changing the whole flavour...

| I've searched high and low for who to credit these to and have come up with nothing - my only thought is that they have to remain anonymous so as to avoid being sued! |

| This is another one I tried to find the illustrator and came up with nothing - I love it so had to include it anyway |
 |
| ANOTHER one I couldn't find - am just wondering if it's a copyright evading technique |
 |
| Last one and sadly I couldn't find who did this one either but it perfectly illustrates the flavour of the route I want to take with Piccolo |
