Luna! Brian's magical friend

---

Luna comes to life whenever Brian is especially bored.  Luna leans in and whispers a magical plot into his ear.  This time he has pirates in mind... and a kidnap.  Off to the deep end they go.  Double tap or hold on Luna to copy the gif, then paste to send him off on twirling adventures.

Here's a little behind the scenes of the making of Luna.  I'm modeling her in 3D using Maya.  And here's a few early sketches of Luna, including the final illustration from the storybook.  Currently working on a limited run of designer toys of this little guy as well as some more animations.  

AMAZING: EGGERS BUYS A COPY OF BRIAN WONDERS

HIGHLIGHT OF MY BIRTHDAY WEEK

Last week, Dave Eggers was in town signing copies of his latest book now on paperback, The Circle.  The signing was being held at the 826 Time Travel Mart in Echo Park.  I popped into the mart and stepped into line, eager to meet him and show him a copy of my book, Brian Wonders.  Thirty minutes later, I stepped out of the mart, feeling in a bit of a daze, feeling a little like I had traveled into a different dimension -- Dave Eggers had bought the copy of Brian Wonders, on the spot!

I wish I had taken a photo to capture the moment, but this is more or less what that picture would have looked like.  In any case, the note he wrote next to his autograph far surpasses any photo my iPhone would have snapped, "Victor -- Keep making beautiful books."  Big hug for the support, Dave, and thank you!
