Hey Gang!

Wow! Where does the time go - besides out the window, over the fence, and through the neighbor's front yard, tripping over the rusted shut lawnmower that's been there for lord knows how long? Yeah, it's been a good two years (possibly longer) since I've updated this site, but update it I shall. That's why I'm slapping the under construction sign over the site (because nothing says progress quite like setbacks!). Since I've last updated the site, I've done three books, moved out of my hometown, and have somehow actually found a way to make a living off of my cartooning - SWEET! Currently, I am now the author and illustrator of my own series of graphic novels and guess what - it's STONE RABBIT! With the help of the Random House Young Readers Group, we're going across the nation with the books and quite possibly the world - WOO HOO! So tell your friends, tell your neighbors, and even tell total strangers that you happen to meet on the street that my books are coming to their neighborhood!... oh, and uh... the site?... Yeah, I'll get working on that between now and the middle of February (dudes, cut me some slack - I'm up to my GILLS in work!). But keep an eye out for BC Mambo and Pirate Palooza, both coming out at the same time on January 13th, 2009. More books are in the works, but I'll get you more details on those as they become available. Thank you, all of you, for always supporting my brand of madness and continuing to do so year after year. Here's hoping that these books shoot through the roof (and I mean that in financial sales terms, and not physically exploding through the ceiling and into the open sky above... because that would be bad).

Best,

Craddock
