Some of you may remmember me writing a book. The first book is done and im working on the second. Anyways my brother isnt ready to do "real art work" least ways not the kind that im looking for. He would rather argue about how a character dosnt look cool enough or the discription needs to be changed. My wife loves my discriptions so im not about to change them just cuz my brother dosnt like belly buttons or 3inch long red gems. Oy im getting off the reson why im posting.

I am currently looking for an artist(s) to help with a little project of mine. The idea is to give away copys of part of the book(s) online with part of the art that goes with them. Then offer the full book(s) with all the art on a cd.

If I can find an artist to help me out who knows were it could lead to. Blah- migrains and pain screws with my memory. Just forgot why im posting this here? Anyways if anyone knows of some good places to look or someone who may be interested let me know. This whole idea is just something im pondering about right now anyways.

Hi Angel, I still remember that brilliant photo you posted of you and your little baby! That was ACE man!

How old is the baby now!?

hope everything is fine - I know about migraine, luckily I have only had 2, the Dr called them "CLUSTER HEADACHES" and prescribe me Domperamol which melts them like wax

before I had the Domperamol I was in a nightmare world of being sick and unimaginable flippin' PAIN! have you heard of that stuff? It's sheer magic I tell you
anyway good luck with the art!

don't forget to post a .jpg on here when you get some help eh?

I tell you man ive been so busy with projects that I totaly forgot about posting a pic (well a new one). She is now 4 months 3 weeks right now. She is cutting all of her teeth. No joke everything is white in them there gums of hers. I'm editing my book at about a chapter a week. Im going to try and step up to two chapters a week. I have about 20 chapters to do. After that the book will be going up for sale I hope. It will be on a cd but in what format I am not sure yet. Text is so easy to move around it dosnt really matter anyways.

Well I need to get back to the laundry and no I havent heard about that drug you mentioned Chiffy. Hope I spelt that right (brain fart).

I just took it as though you were seirius about it taking you a week to reply. That would give you till tomorow I think. Not that im really counting or anything. Two chapters out of twenty have been edited. I should be getting to chapter three tonight. The web-page layout will have to do for now. I don't have any other prog right now. I am on the look out for an e-book prog but cash is another thing. Will just have to see.

c h i e f y- If were going for the nustalgia thing I also went to cort two months back. My loiyor said it went well. I still have to wait for the juges answer in the mail. I hope iot comes in soon so I can buy my wife a car. I will get backpay for the past 2-3 years of fighting with them. That means I can also afford the program I mentioned in this post. Time time time

Well I have to get to my little girl.
You peeps be good

hey nice going Angel, do you have enough hours in the day? sounds like you're busy ok - much happening eh?

I do envy you having that time with your little girl but I had all that 20 years ago, yes my daughter is 20 and still around with me, in fact she'll be down here in a minute to get onto her legendary website (we share)

hey I noticed that you joined CCN in May 2001 which is when Blitzcoders kicked off.
Did CCN start around the same time then??

Sorry I didnt reply to your qustions sooner. Ive been so mest up. I wasnt here from the very very bigginings so I dont know all the details. I will say this though, back then people here got a lot more obsest with their arguments and game construction. I guess you could say people were more zellus. Don't get me wrong. I love this place still and all the new faces. It's diffrent

Yeah I bet it was too, why are you getting your book published on a CD though Angel? how does that work? Surely a book should get published the usual way, what is this CD scheme, I never heard of it

Glad to hear that you're getting some Artwork onboard though!
My aunt got a book published and at the last minute the publishers just CUT all the artwork/ maps/ photos to save cost, it made the book so bland I tell ya

are you working to a deadline?

Well the cd idea is my dads. People sell books online all the time but some people want something they can put on the shelf and pull back off when they want to. Im not on a deadline as of yet. I know other people that had the same prob as your aunt. It seems common placed to me. There is also a point I would like to make. Getting published by someone dosnt mean jack squat. They may say your being added on to the greats but the truth is... if they arent going to do any publisity as well, your dead in the water. To top it all off you just handed the rights to your book to boot.

Yes I did do that diddnt I. Still I have a big prob when it comes to my hand art. I cant seem to recreat the same characters over and over. I'm just fine as a concept artist but im not that great at comicbook kinda stuff.

Odd I just got an e-mail from someone I havent talked to in years. It's Krylar. I better find out what he wants.

TTFN
