Find Chaffy foreign editions!

We’re really pleased to say that the search for Chaffy is rapidly spreading to all corners of the globe, as Find Chaffy the book finds new publishers in a score of other countries! Confirmed so far are Denmark, Spain (spanish AND catalan), France and America, with Korea later in the year!

If you’re in France (published by Quatre Fleuves) or America (published by Barrons Educational) , Find Chaffy is already out! Spain (published by Random House Mondadori) follows in April, and Denmark (published by Forlaget Alvilda) in the autumn. All fully translated, even the title! (Xaffi, anyone?)

More to follow! (hopefully)

February 3rd, 2011

While Scholastic books have been well behind the search for Chaffies by publishing the Find Chaffy book here in the UK, we’re well aware the search is taking us all over the world, and the word needs to be spread! So we’re very pleased to announce that Find Chaffy will be published in the US by Barron’s Educational, at the end of this month!

If you’re the Americas and find a copy of the book at your local booksellers, do let us know! We’d love to see how far the news is spreading!

Not only that, but there are a load more countries lining up to publish Find Chaffy, we’ll let you know who’s doing it as soon as it’s confirmed!

The hunt for Chaffy CONTINUES!

Sighting 27/01/11 – Hospital!

January 27th, 2011

This Chaffy had a little bump to the head, and as we know they can be rather delicate sometimes. So thanks to Helena for taking him to be treated with full nursey care!

Happy new year!

January 9th, 2011

This amazing Pile O’ Chaffies was made by The Magpie’s Nest on deviantart, thank you so much! The search for original Chaffies often goes cold, there were well over 30 out in the world at one time but we fear people are holding onto them instead of passing them on. But, we do hear from a lot of people making their own Chaffies, which is always wonderful to see! Do send in photos if you’ve made your own!

On a similar note, we’re always hearing from people who want to buy Chaffies. Sorry to say we don’t sell any yet, we have a few for promotion but tend to give them away in competitions every now and then. Obviously we’d love to be able to offer Chaffies for sale one day, hopefully soon!

Season’s Greetings From Find Chaffy!

December 16th, 2010

Well it’s been a very exciting year in the search for Chaffies. We’ve had sightings in from Japan, America, all across Europe and even as far away as Australia! We’ve seen The Longest, Most Amazing Chaffy Journey Of All begin, in the form of our great online comic, just filled with amazing artists and always looking for more! We’ve seen some amazing Chaffy fanart, from Chaffy jewellery to dog hats, from felt Chaffies to beautiful Chaffy artwork. And even more than that, the very first Find Chaffy children’s book is now on sale, published by Scholastic Books. Filled with amazing picture searches and ridiculous adventures, it’s bringing a whole new audience to our search!

So what of next year? Well you can be sure of PLENTY more Chaffy sightings, those tricky little scamps do have a habit of getting themselves lost all over the place so it won’t be long before they’re spotted. We’ve also completed work on Find Chaffy book two, the fantastico sequel which’ll take our search to even crazier places! That’ll be on sale in the summer.

Until next year, have a wonderful Chaffy Christmas! And keep an eye out for Chaffies!

Sighting – 27/11/10 London

Here’s a great snap of a Chaffy checking out Big Ben in London, thank you so much Joanne Roberts! The Chaffy looks brilliant too! :)

Find Chaffy Book Two is COMPLETE!

November 26th, 2010


(the picture searches from both book one and two, twenty A2 sheets in all)

It is with great pride and a loud exhale of breath I can say I’ve just finished drawing Find Chaffy book two. I started this book about five months ago and have been working on it full-time (save for the trip to japan, and the occasional day/week for other work), so I can say I’m pretty chuffy to be done. There are still a few little additions to make to it, a bit of sorting out till the mid-december deadline, but now all the 48 pages are done and drawn, I can relax a little.

No of course I can’t. There’s far too much to be getting on with, and drawing big fiddly pictures isn’t done with me yet. I’m dead excited about showing everyone Find Chaffy book two, it mixes things up a bit from book one and takes it to a whole new level – and the final picture search is just ridiculous.

Find Chaffy 2 is released next summer.

(join the search at www.findchaffy.com – recent additions have been Chaffy in Japan, the Endless Chaffy comic, and some amazing Chaffy fanart!)
