My Jack and Jill drawing

I just finished the last of the illustrations for the thermodynamics textbook I’ve been working on. Hopefully everything comes through okay, and my part is finished. I can finally focus more time on my own book and other things.

I’ve also been looking at getting an iPad to use as an inexpensive drawing tablet. I currently have a very serviceable seven year old Wacom Intuos tablet, but I still have some trouble drawing strait lines and shaping objects on it. And I’m still in the market for a new camera as well.

Oh, and I hope to install the latest Ubuntu sometime this week as well.

I hope to pick up a new camera soon, and get back to photography.

Over the last month, I’ve been compiling the hundreds of illustrations for the second edition of the thermodynamics textbook my dad wrote in the late 80′s. It’s been a pretty grueling process going through each drawing.

Also, the second edition of Exploring Engineering is now on Amazon.com. It contains most of my original illustrations with a few changes.

I’ve regularly been uploading photos from my various activities to my Picasa Web Album and some videos of my niece to Vimeo as well. As for Mistletoe’s Night, it’s now available in its entirety for free as an ebook on Scribd and you can now purchase the paperback of it through Amazon.com, even though it’s still cheaper to buy it straight through Lulu.

In the meantime, I plan to do one more illustrated book about a teddy bear before I take a crack at a writing a graphic novel. But, this time I plan to do the illustrations more traditionally than the 3D rendered look of Mistletoe’s Night.

It’s not a lot of money, especially considering more than half of it was from direct family members (Mom). But, it certainly helps when you don’t have much to begin with. It will probably cover half my license plate renewal that’s due next month.

Also I recently made an e-book version of Mistletoe’s Night as well. I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to do with it though. I’ll probably put it online at some point.
