  3. Excellent!

    It's spooky how the characters read the same as in the original (to me) even though none of their features are remotely the same - their heads aren't even turned the same way - and I don't think it's because Jason's faces are expressionless; it's more like they're just ambiguous enough that they can convey several expressions at once equally convincingly.

    But it works well on its own too.

  5. Wonder what those circles are meant to represent? Clouds? the music from the cello?

  6. They are part of a drawing on the back cover of Jason's book, of a character blowing bubbles and they drift onto the front cover. Glad you liked it.
