I didnt know your work or this website before, just browsed through the book, loved it and bought it. In 5 words: yes, its in the shops.

A (to my surprise) really nice girl told me that they were sent 2 copies, and that one must had been the last one, so:<br /><br />a) You sold out!<br />b) I got a 5% discount! Hi Craig,

I bought the Fun Fun Fun book yesterday from “La casa del libro”, a famous bookstore chain in Madrid.

It was all alone in the design section, and I asked if they had more copies, as the back was a bit dirty. A (to my surprise) really nice girl told me that they were sent 2 copies, and that one must had been the last one, so:

a) You sold out!
b) I got a 5% discount!

I'm useless at it. I said to myself in January this year that I will fill a page with drawings every single day. It started well, but then it got to the 6th June and I just...stopped. I really should start again. Also, when I was a school girl, I got a 'B' in my art GCSE. I was really shocked cos, without sounding too big-headed, I was the best damn artist in that school. Turns out I just didn't have enough work to show, even though what I did have was ace in my opinion. I should have filled loads of pages with any old drawing, but its just not in me to do that!<br />I shall make it my New Years resolution to fill a whole sketchbook, maybe I'll succeed this time!! I'm loving the monkey by the way, really lovin' it! I’ve never in my life been able to fill an entire sketch book. I’m useless at it.

to fun fun fun:
the day before yesterday i went to a bookshop in the Wiener straße in berlin, that was on your list of book shops who are supposed to be selling your book. the man looked it up in his computer and told me that it wasn’t even listed in the big available-books-database-thingy. i kept saying that the author (you) said, that its available and he kept searching for different keywords but no chance: he couldn’t find it.
i’m very sorry but i keep asking for it, i’ll promise.

so far the situation in berlin. :)

have a nice weekend!

Anne
