Pursued by a (small) bear!

I’ve mentioned before how nice it is when someone takes away a drawing and brings it back as something shiny. Well, yesterday, when I was expecting an electrician to carry a sheet of melamine back through the open front door, Sue of Tiny Owl Workshop walked in, bearing treasure!

Back in 2014, I illustrated a cover for Greer Gilman‘s wonderful Ben Jonson novella Exit, Pursued by a Bear for Small Beer Press:

Pursuedbyabear

(Gilman’s 2009 Cloud & Ashes was my very first book cover.)

And Sue made the bear!

Look at his little face! His nose! His paws!

I love it so much. I keep stroking the bridge of its nose.
