I'm a HUGE fan of Joan Aiken's work. A scene from her book The Wolves of Willoughby Chase was trapped in my head when I began sketches to what eventually became Hot Air.


All of the adult characters in this story had admirable quirks, and I had a solid idea of what one of these characters looked like.
