So I installed the Wacom tablet today which I have had sitting in a box for like 5 years. I lost one of the nibs for the pen but I don't think that will be too much of a problem. I installed it because I need to be able to colour my cover art for the book ( Read more... )

So I just did some cover art for grydscaen. I like the picture, it is of Lino. I don't know if I am going to be able to colour it because I don't have any art programs on this computer so I can't manipulate the images at all. I could maybe attack it with a coloured pencil and see if I can do anything with that ( Read more... )

So publication has officially started. I have a book account and all now and a personal rep. I have to work on my cover art. I have a design but I need to colour it and get it to a state that it is acutally nice enough to get published on the cover. I am going to have to tweak the original drawing that I have.

I have not drawn anything in a while ( Read more... )

So I talked to the publisher today after a little bit of phone tag. My typist is on page 5 so far she just started. She says she likes the story and is reading it as she is typing.

The publisher was really nice. I will be able to work exclusively with someone who will represent my book. Then they will give me a cover art designer who will help withe ( Read more... )

So I had a run in with my mother on the phone. She called me an "it" which was not nice. And she said she "didn't want any of them in her family" so basically I am not allowed to be trans. She says that it is against nature and the family, and God. She read me the riot act because she found out that I was on hormones ( Read more... )

So I am totally psyched to get published. I have to forego my hormones to do this but I want to get published right now. I can't afford both things so I have to choose. My friend is going to type the manuscript. I wrote it while I had free time but don't have an electronic copy so it is in binders and it has to be typed up to submit. I also don't ( Read more... )

So I have 6 books written at this point and I am about to publish the first one. I have to work on some cover artwork right now for the first book. I have some comic book covers but I need to redo them and I don't have photoshop anymore so this is going to be low tech ( Read more... )

Been a long time since I have written anything. I got extended so I am on month 7 of a possible 18 month contract, then they have to decide if they are going to hire me or not. I keep hoping I don't want to have to find another job in 18 months ( Read more... )

So today I found some of my art work that had not been totally destroyed by water damage. It has water marks on it but you can still see the images so that made me smile ( Read more... )
