Greta Book 2 Entering Next Phase of Development

A lot of folks out there have taken kindly to Greta and we certainly appreciate it. Some of you have even begun to get a little restless for the arrival of book 2 and more. Rest assured, we're working towards that goal. Above are a couple of (cropped) early renditions of what's to come. Can't give away too much. Thanks, as always, for your support.

Greta Going Digital!

Joseph Watson and Dana Satterwhite are teaming up with digital content provider Gabuduck to create a digital version of Greta, starting with 3 e-book volumes slated for release later this summer. The fabulous and talented Lisa Loeb has lent her voice. Preparation of animation assets has begun. Production underway soon! Can't wait.

Greta St. Jude's heart almost complete.

It's been a few weeks. Joseph's been pouring his heart into it. No pun intended. Here's the transformation:

One beautiful heart deserves another.

Go, Go, Greta illustrator and co-creator Joseph Watson is one of several local artists to recently complete commissioned hearts for St. Jude's. The hearts "live" in high-traffic locations around the city for some time and are eventually auctioned off, benefitting the charity and helping in the fight against children's cancer. It is a lovely thing to know exists and be a part of.

To that end, we thought, why not do a second heart with Greta showing her support of the cause? After all, she herself was inspired by kids and exists for the sole purpose of spreading a positive message and reminding us all that we "can do anything."

Here's a sketch of loose progress on what will eventually be painted on the smaller heart. The larger ones are between four and five feet in length. This one is a bit smaller, closer to one foot. The smaller heart can be seen here in its blank "canvas" stage, before painting has begun, and the larger one near completion.

Fittingly, this additional part of the St. Jude's heart project began on February 14th, Valentine's Day, the very same day that Joseph and his wife Tamara became proud parents of a baby boy.

Voila!

Greta whale tail commission completed and delivered. Thanks for the continued support. You can do anything!

Painting of a whale? Or a whale of a painting?

In the end, it will be both. Joseph Watson, illustrator and co-creator of "Go, Go, Greta" has begun another original Greta commission based on a scene from book one. Here is a sneak peek of the progress and the process. The finished piece will be unveiled and delivered to its proud new owner soon. Stay creative. You can do anything!
