Have a look at this:

Ezra Claytan Daniels, the talented graphic novelist responsible for the silky-smooth look of Ruben & Lullaby, was kind enough to send some photos of his drawing table decked out with the original artwork from the game. I got an odd feeling when I first saw these shots—after having spent so much time with the finished artwork while putting the app together, to see these line drawings in a totally unfamiliar context (Ezra and I live in different cities and have never actually met in person) was like learning about some secret past life of a couple of your best friends.

Be sure to check out Ezra’s website Dream Chocolate to see a teaser image from his current project Black Violet—not to mention his other fascinating work.
