Mr Owl

Here’s a summary of all the things Mr Owl. Wikipedia won’t make a page for him… FINE I’ll do it myself.

Who the hell is Mr Owl?

Mr Owl is a fictional character that I created. It’s an owl with human traits (speech, clothes, feelings, expressions, walk…). He lives in London around 1910, and appears for the first time on my facebook page on Monday the 19th of September 2016.

First appearance of Mr Owl

The second time he is featured is the next day. From there, I started a series posting an image evey day. There was a weekly pattern because every Monday I collected all the drawings of the past week on a blog post and gave a little bit of context and insight from my perspective as the creator. Some weeks were too busy so I would skip those.

A good part of the story is available on my instagram

The rest is in this facebook photo album

I heard there was a book?

You heard well! It is all black and white (except the cover), comprises 100 pages, 94 of them are illustrated. The format is A5.

Technical details

The books collect almost every drawing in the posts above, and a couple of exclusive ones. The majority of the drawings were redrawn, and the majority of the text was rewritten to match the medium so I believe the book is somewhat different from what you can experience online. I made a video explaining all of this (I added subtitles if my accent is too hard to understand). Information might be redundant but here you go :

Versions will be :

Printed

Ebooks

And free PDF
Bear in mind that buying a copy supports my work.
