A short meeting of the minds

This week I made a short trip to Toronto to see Annie, who had gone home to take a well-deserved break, and to see Pikto, a well-regarded printing press in Toronto's Distillery District. Pikto had printed several of my photobooks and my cookbook in the past, and we were considering using them to print the final version of The Prince.

Cat naming contest!

Annie wanted me to post this week since it's my turn. Since she had not only done amazing work drawing the cards, but also started writing the post, I didn't want to steal her thunder.

So... I've decided instead to just post what she had written below:

--Phu

Though he has been the Prince's companion throughout the book and you have seen him on the holiday cards, we have yet to give him a name. Surely he wouldn't just want to be known as "honey" or "darling" or "cute thing," so it's about time we name him. We recently asked you for name suggestions, and we've compiled some of them below - we'd love to hear from you about what name you think best fits our cat friend!

Holiday cards

Although we'll be releasing The Prince in 2014, we prepared some goodies in time for this holiday season! In addition to finishing up pencils for the last few pages of the book, we've been working on some festive greeting cards featuring our main character and his feline companion.
