My graphic artist brother has been working with an aspiring children's author (she used to be an engineer) to produce a children's book this past year.  It's finally on sale, so I suppose I'll have to buy a couple of copies (me and the 'rents). :D

The story is pretty unbelievable and on the educational side (to teach kids to wash their hands and ( Read more... )

*g* Oh, we'd have a ball doing it, too. But there's just no time. And we're both independent enough to prefer doing our own thing.

S: Understood. Still, I'm sure it must be thrilling. :)

[Maybe even turn the tables and let Eliassi do the "tweaking" for a change! ;) :)]
M:**Brrr! I don't think so. ;)

S2: As in, "Brrr!"---I was too hard on the author and deserve a Wenchy Wolverine-attack for it (I mean no offense, sorry for insinuating I did, I guess I wasn't sure if by "it's no Dr. Seuss" it meant it was a less-than-fulfilling experience or not *blushes and shrugs*), or "Brrr!", meaning something else entirely?!? :)

*non-offensively facetious aura* Or is it just the barren icy frozen tundra freeze-your-limbs-right-off Canadian winter I hear tell about making you "Brrr!"?!? You may want a faux fur coat or harpoon and skin a Canadian politician or something to keep warm...*ducks bricks* ;) j/k

Gidg has my laying the joke on way too thick to keep her warm...;)

All and/or of the above but not really all quite like that but maybe it is, you don't know?! Hmmmmmm?!?!?11/1/ XD

*ducks germs* ;)

M:**I'm not sure what you're apologizing about. I don't know this woman from Eve. She may be very nice, but her writing was atrocious. It was Baaaad. It's presentable now that it's no longer in a badly spelled Word document.

"Brrrr!" meant, "Shudder! No way would I let this person proofread my stuff, that's all.

"It's no Dr. Seuss." means exactly that. It's no classic, nor will it ever be. But I am proud of my brother's part in it, because it's his first real paying gig as a professional illustrator.

Relax, dude. ;)
