Congratulations on your first unboxing video and your skilled script-writer! Hurray to teamwork! I watched the video start to finish without turning up the speed which goes to say: It was very entertaining! I’ve got 2 questions: 1. I totally want to hit subscribe but I don’t seem to be able on the embedded video and couldn’t find your channel on YouTube. Would you post a link? Or is this just part of the game and there is no channel? If so: Well played!
2. What is this box? Who gets it? Why is there a preprint in it and not the actual book? Just curious since I am not familiar with this concept.
Hi! There is no channel, but thanks for wondering. The box is promotional. I imagine it goes out mostly to book stores and reviewers. It’s typical to send out advanced copies for promotion to get people excited about the book early.
Oak gall and rusty nail ink is amazing. Waterproof too. I love drawing with it, channelling my medieval monk thang alongside my procrastinating illustrator on a tight deadline schtick.
Always happy to see this charming newsletter show up in my inbox. You're a bright, shining ray of positivity, and a creative inspiration. Thank you for sharing your light. Also, congrats on the book!
Oh this is fantastic. We have some of your drawings and prints here in Lisbon, carried with us from New York and London. And I went to the very school to which the father of the Grimm Brothers went. And my bus stop had a plaque for the spot where the Brothers were born in Hanau. And so it will be great to get the book for our boys so they can connect all the dots. 🤭
LOved the unboxing and anxiously awaiting our Rumpelstiltskin to arrive. Hooray for new classics from our fave illustrator!
Also, always super fun to see into other studios. I spotted a scanner on your desk and am curious if you would share the scanner that you use? Very important tool and desperate for my own.
Carson! You really would love Spa Land in Busan if you have time while you're in Korea. It's a nice train ride up and worth it!! The show looks incredible and everything you touch just gets brighter and better, thank you! :)

Eheh, Thank you for the unboxing Carson and for the very legit-making script, Milo :) That was really convincing.
Made me giggle :)
Can’t wait for the book which I am off to preorder at my local English bookstore in France !
Yay! I just preordered Rumpelstiltskin from Spoke and Word books yesterday. I can’t wait to read it and share it with my class!

Thank you Moon Queen!
Thanks! It’s a large format epson expression. Very old! I’ve had it for at least 20 years.
Those Cat in Space books are so great! And I cant wait to read Rumpelstiltskin 🙂
Looking forward to this! Du Iz Tak & Home are big favourites in our house ❤️🔥
Please tell Milo his script was on point! Best unboxing I've seen yet.
This video was so charming! Can't wait to buy the book.
I love Milo’s script so much! Great job :)
Your homemade ink work reminds me of a fantastic documentary, The Color of Ink. It may be hard to find, but it's incredibly beautiful and inspiring.
