Blair Drawson, Reactor and Thinknao have teamed up to create Dreams Of Patoot, featuring more than 400 of Blair’s illustrations in an interactive visual narrative specifically made for the iPhone and iPad. The story centers around Patoot, a young citizen of Plafunda which is a distant benevolent planet similar to our own in many ways, yet significantly different in others. Patoot, like young citizens everywhere, has friends and relations, and they all have their own distinct storyline separate from, and parallel to, the main narrative. That’s the interactive part.
We are anticipating an early April launch of the App in the iTunes store. Stay tuned for more information.
