About a month ago, I posted my
IMC piece both
here and on facebook. It was so much fun to do, I definitely wanted to do more in the same vein. In a surprising and rather thrilling turn of events, the amazing and world-renowned author Jane Yolen took a fancy to it and was inspired to write a manuscript to accompany it (she has a brief blog entry mentioning it
here) - which includes a number of other creatures in addition to trolls.
So, one of my objectives for my visit to family this past week was to utilize as many of them as possible as reference-creatures for this hilarious manuscript.
Here is my cuddly teddy-bear of a father being a terrifically good sport as the punk/goth-biker ogre character. :-) More to follow anon.....

Love it! Your dad is indeed a very good sport.
Your father is a fabulous actor - I love his interpretation of a ... well, I almost wrote "faun" .... of an ogre! The shadows of his arms are spot on too. ;-)
LOVE IT! :-)
Dad was such a sport. It was hilarious. I am excited to see what you do with these photos.
What a very co-operative family you have! While I'm here can I just say hiw much I love the title of your blog. I've thought this for years but I thought I'd mention it!xx
Fun! Your dad makes a great ogre. Can't wait to see the sketches.
Love it! What would we do without accommodating family! :->
Thanks all (and thanks re: the name Jesse. :-) It has been a favorite poem of mine since childhood).
I have so many *very* funny photos from the couple of days of shooting I did. Will post more as I get to them.
I am all a twittery waiting to see what you do with Ogre Dad.
Jane
That is absolutely fantastic! Can't wait to see the rest!
