The Year of the Bear Proof

Im thinking of taking the books from my thesis and transferring them to the new POD service. The work is already done, it would just be a matter of resizing, exporting, and uploading. Id like to get the witch book out of the hard cover too.

Cover Options

I have only one more portrait to do for my "People" book. Not all the recent portraits went into it because some of them didn't turn out as well as others. As I put the book together, I need a cover image. I picked out four paintings that would represent the content best. I thought it would be fun if you would give your input as to which it should be. Please choose the one that you think is the strongest painting.

I numbered them in order of rendering. Voting is on the right. Thanks!

Proof In

The proof from createspace came in today with no errors, so I ordered more for the fair next month. With the ISBN on the back, the book will be available through Amazon in a week or so.

I finished all the art for the next one. As soon as the copy proofing comes back ill upload it. Hopefully with enough time to get the proof and reorder.

Empty Studio

Unlike William, I will be able to paint, and soon. This book is very close to being finished and needs to be printed by early March in time for the book fair. Im looking forward to getting back to portraits though. Were on our trimester break at RIT soon and my intentions were to finish the portrait book then. Its probably done but I want to add some other paintings. No rush on that one.

After the Incident

Soon after, William found himself back in his barn watching the little mouse gather sticks in the yard. When William would normally walk with his pipe and campfire tobacco, he was visited by Nicholas who brought him fresh carrot cake. “I can’t take your cake Nicholas,” said William, “I can’t paint you any pictures.” They sat together in silence, looking at the cake.

Quickly But Carefully

This is two pages after William gets between the bear and Nicholas.

There aren't too many illustrations left to do on this book. Id like to get it a sample before the end of the month which seems pretty reasonable. Im going to have a table at this years Small Press Book Fair, here in Buffalo next month. More on that as it gets closer.

Are You Sure... V2

When I finished this page last night, I thought I might have to do it again (see last post). When I woke up this morning, I knew I had to. My initial reaction was to get a second opinion, because sometimes I think somethings bad, but its really OK. But I know if I have to ask, its definitely wrong, so I didn't bother asking this time.

Are You Sure You Want To Do This?
