Picture Book - Part II

[tara_janemurphy]

I'll spare you the dramatics - because believe me... there are tons right now. *exasperated sigh* In other news, I dyed my hair black. I'm really pale and have blue eyes. It gives an interesting effect.

Here... look at some drawings and read a bit of a story.

not quite sure if I understand (being somewhat illiterate) -- is the writing yours as well as the art work? -- in either case, a very unique concept and I really like the 'simple' line drawings you've used

The book is by Upton Sinclair - The drawings are by me :)

I was initially going to draw right into the book, but instead have decided that i can't bring myself to do that - si I draw the images on overhead sheets and scan them wuth the book behind it so that it looks like it's in it.

The text you see is just the page written out so that people can read it ok. That was the whole purpose of it anyways - to try and get people more interested in the words.

Kind of like your LJ! When you said that people only comment when there is a picture involved!

images on overhead sheets...

..what a clever idea :)
that's one of the great things about cyberland
so much inventiveness out there to stimulate the imagination
it really is like a kind of collective consciousness
