I also converted a cartoon from a bike magazine into a poster for a chap I knew as it was so close to the real event.

Bought an old children's book a while back called 'Fish Head' - really lovely drawings by Marc Simont...

Do you like Chris Ware? Apologies if he's already mentioned.

If people are interested in Hergé's process, there's a nice article here.

TBM, I love those illustrations - I've seen a bigger set of something very similar, will try and find them - not heard of Chris Ware, will look him up.
