...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 |
