New Year, Old Project
It's been so quiet here at Chairnotes that you can hear the snowfalling. But it's not that I'm not writing, it's what I'm writing. I am in a push to get the drawings for my book done and am happy to say that I'm making good progress. As to the actual release date, it can't be pinned down just yet, but I will hopefully be handing everything to the book designer, and Chris Schwarz for the next phase. I thought that I'd share a couple of images to give a little preview of what I'm compiling.
There are literally hundreds of illustrations and it's taken me a while to establish a style that is clear and fast to create.
I like communicating by drawing (as any former student will tell)
because you can go straight to the concept without any confusion and you
can show views and relationships that would be tough to show any other way.

Much improved drawings, Pete. Da Vinci would be proud. And I, as a visual type of student, greatly appreciate it.
Da Vinci? Is he the font guy at LAP? Anyway, thanks Mitch, coming from you it is high praise indeed!
Happy New Year
Pete
I"m sure "editing" will pick it up - but on your Travisher drawing you state "The a piece of . . . "
Can't wait to get your book.
Hey Pete: Have you considered making it spiral bound, lays flat on the workbench.
Excellent illustrations! Being a visual person I am very happy to hear your book will have so many illustrations. Looking forward to its release.
Hi Pete,
I think Eric Sloane would approve.

Thanks for the encouragement,
I'm having a lot of fun with the drawings. We are still working out the details about the binding etc...I'm sure you'll be hearing more about it all here and at the LAP blog
Looking forward to that book! Hope your not too buried in snow...
