Stevenson’s Sea View Hotel – pt 1
I have been a fan of James Stevenson‘s work forever.
He’s an intelligent, imaginative, brilliant draftsman and writer. Two of my all time favorite books are a collection of drawn editorials he did for various publications. Something Marvelous Is About To Happen and Uptown Local, Downtown Express.
(In the past, I’ve featured a couple of articles from these books, and will do again in the future, no doubt.)
I’ve been a big fan of his many children’s books and have purchased the rights to two of them and made animated shorts of them, Monty and What’s Under My Bed?
It was a pleasure to see the art sent by Bill Peckmann.
Stevenson’s wonderful book, The Sea View Hotel. Here are the scans sent to me by Bill:

The only thing missing from this book, that would make it the “Downton Abbey” of children’s books, is color!

Veeeery nice! I’ve been a fan of Stevenson for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve seen this story. It reads very well in a vertical blog format.
