metaphrog, the franco-scottish duo, have been releasing comics and graphic novels since 1996, first serialising Strange Weather Lately and The Maze. Their current Louis books have received multiple Eisner and Ignatz award nominations, Scottish Arts Council support and critical acclaim worldwide. Their latest multimedia project Louis - Dreams Never Die, a graphic novel with music by hey and múm, and featuring a special online Louis animation, was released in association with FatCat Records. They are currently working on a new Louis book. Information, animation, news and online shop: www.metaphrog.comBlog: http://metaphrog.blogspot.comwww.myspace.com/metaphrogcomics  The comics Journal:"Franco-Scottish duo metaphrog use simple designs and storytelling techniques to make the reader think about the role imagination has for the "average Joe" making his way through the daily grind. Metaphrog give their work the feel of a great children's book. Louis himself is cut from the same cloth as Charlie Brown and Jimmy Corrigan..." Publishers Weekly:"metaphrog's deep story will have readers contemplating its images and events long after they've reached the final page." Julie Burchill in The Guardian:"metaphrog have produced three books about the most adorable character..." Libération:"An indispensable bedside book, to plunge into as in a dream."

Hi, how are you? Our studio recently put a new site up. www.pencily.com is a great source of inspiration for illustrators, animators and designers, so I hope you find it as useful as we do!
All the best,

Hi John, Sandra.
I hope that all is well. It's been a shame that I haven't seen you over the past few years in Bristol. Especially as I'm only home in the UK once a year nowadays.
Anyway take care of yourselves and I will certainly pick up the latest book when I get the chance.
Cheers John |
