We may have locked John Bolton deep within the bowels of our Mountain Liar, only allowing him one hour of sunlight a week until he finishes painting the second book in the epic Shame trilogy, but we do talk to him occasionally. Our latest conversation revealed his current favourite panels from the pages completed so far. Below is a panel from page 11, actually to be completely honest it is page 11 pre the attentions of Tod Klein.
You may recognise the character featured from the first book Shame: Conception, (and if you haven't read the book yet, you should as it is really, very good) who has continued her evolution and transformation from innocent girl into powerful woman. John chose another panel to showcase too, you can find it on the Shame facebook fan page here. It introduces us to another character who has changed significantly since the fist book. If John continues to create stunning watercolour art for this book we may venture down to speak with him again, though he is happy to be left alone with just a candle, canvas and paints until the book is finished.
