IF: ADAPT

The Troll is trying to adapt to the changing circumstances by compromising with the two Billy Goats and letting them cross the bridge while waiting to eat the older bigger brother.





I missed last week's IF and missed visiting many of my favorite blogs...I really need to catch up! It was a busy week since we are wrapping up the school year and there's a lot of functions and extra curricular activities for the kids. The next couple of weeks will probably be  just as busy as we try to adapt to the new summer routine. I'm not looking forward to the scorching heat that's for sure!

My goal is to finish, print and bind the Three Billy Goats Gruff dummy book before our summer vacation which is in about a month. It seems like a lot of time, but really with all of the stuff that I have going on, seems a bit unrealistic. Well, nothing like working under pressure!

Have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by.

Oh that troll is struggling to adapt by the looks of things. I really love the perspective in the falling troll illustration. I also love that splash! I find splashes are difficult to illustrate and you've managed to capture it perfectly.

Poor Mr. Troll. I almost, not quite, but almost feel sorry for him. Great illustrations! I wish you all the best with your dummy. The variation in points of view is engaging and your characters are adapting well to being used to tell this tale.

Wow! This is coming along amazingly. I agree with the others -- the perspective on the troll taking the plunge, and the splash, are fantastic! Good luck with all the end-o-school year festivities. Always such a busy time!

Hi Edrian, I'm a university student in Sweden Stockholm and I'm wondering if I can use your pics ( billy goats gruff) in my presentation I'm working with for school?.
