Hey,
In 2005 I had a month long artist-in-residency in Connecticut (iPark) (http://www.i-park.org). I spent the month getting this book out of my head. Three years later I finished my first illustrated and written book, "The Art of Being A Dad" (the First Seven Years).
I wanted to share it here because I work in the film industry as a concept artist and you are my people. I just finished a month of work at Pixar working on "John Carter of Mars."
I used Blurb.com (http://www.blurb.com)to print and sell the book online. 120 pages, 7 x 7 in., full color bleed, soft and hard cover - pretty cool company. I'll keep trying to find a publisher. I have been rejected several times - color too expensive, parenting books not selling.
ON SALE for $26.95
The Art of Being A Dad (http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/391466)
10% of sales goes to the nonprofit
www.reenchantingthingworldthroughart.org (http://www.reenchantingthingworldthroughart.org)
