Hooray! The Hidden Talent of Albert Otter has now sold out of its limited first edition! This is good news, but there's more to come as a couple of other translations are now completed and a launch of the second print run is imminent.
To mark the occasion, a couple of out-takes (ott-takes?):
Albert as a line-art profile for the front endpapers.
A smaller illustration not intended for publication.
I reckon that bottom pic is from overhead. Albert is "rescuing Timmy from the well," or at least dragging him/her to safety after falling through the ice.
Such is my sharp-eyed analysis of quite an enigmatic image.
Arrrggghhhhh! Spoilers ;)
ReplyDeleteIt can't be a spoiler if it never happened in the book, er, 'game'...!
ReplyDelete??? Um yeah, not sure what happened there? (no even close on the keyboard...
ReplyDeleteD'oh!
Soo, anyway - the book doesn't close with "The Otter" running up a beach being chase by weather balloons then....

Naughty Dave - forever seeing patterns that aren't there!
ReplyDeleteAt least no-one thinks it's someone flinging a mustelid during a full moon :/
Arrived today safe and well, and tested it out on Child #1. Opperation concluded sucessfully... except for the bit where she thought he was a fish...
