Foot in the hornet's nest putting, plenty attention you getting
Nice one! Trouble is - on TarBoard the hornets' nests put themselves on your foot! :^)
As this thread was originally on AR's drawings, can I also clear up an earlier misunderstanding over something I said (I am beginning to wonder if it would be clearer if I posted in French). When I said that AR's drawings were getting hackneyed, I meant that the use of them in promotional material is getting hackneyed. It is time to try new ideas in publications, websites etc. Of course the drawings themselves are as fresh as when AR did them, which is another reason to perhaps give them a rest outside the books and enjoy them in their proper place in the stories.
