josh weinstein + tim fishlock: sir benfros big adventure

when illustrator tim fishlock released his app sir benfro’s brilliant balloon last year, he could never have anticipated that it’s biggest fan would be the legendary simpsons & futurama head writer and executive producer josh weinstein. weinstein – a recipient of four emmys and responsible for such golden era episodes of the simpsons as who shot mr burns? and sideshow bob roberts – was so enamoured with fishlock’s creation that he sent him a congratulatory email. clearly not someone to waste a once in a lifetime opportunity, fishlock replied with thanks and a proposal – if weinstein would like to write a book featuring his creation sir benfro? weinstein’s swift response was yes.

and so, after dozens of emails and skype calls, fishlock and weinstein are ready to print sir benfro’s big adventure under their own imprint, the round trip press. sir benfro’s brilliant balloon was a winner of the app store’s best of 2012 – it will be free to download for the duration of the kickstarter campaign starting may 7th, 2013.
