Tired... depressed...

[crowdog66]

Tired and depressed. Not sure why. Maybe the tail end of the flu; maybe just life.

George and I picked up a contract through Richard Comely (tentative, but 90% locked in) to pencil and color some books for an educational company that markets to Scholastic. Each book is 40 pages, and focusses on a particular time/event in history -- personally, I'm pushing to do the books on ancient Sumeria and Babylonia, just because it's a period I find quite interesting. We figure we can pump out four or five of these at $100 CDN a page combined. The pages will be 3 or 4 panels, simple graphic color: quick to push out, and it will add up to quite a nice chunk of change.

In the meantime... laying flats for Hardy Boys, and a pork roast in the oven. My cup runneth over.

You're channeling me, from last night.

Honestly, the Sumerian/Babylonian books sound great ... could you do the Gilgamesh story as part of one or the other? That would be a way cool thing if they're into that (and they SHOULD be ... it's only one of the roots of human civilization). The compensation sounds nice too.

Pork roast ... one of our favorites ... yum ...
:-D

I hope you didn't catch the depression bug from me last night... ::Holding up hands innocently::

The Sumerian/Babylonian books sound really good! I really need to study their mythology better; I recently learned that Enlil was the god of libraries, which caused lights to blink on and off with excitement and delight in my head: Enlil was the name of the captain who freed Ref the Archivist... And I'd just randomly chosen a name for the character. What are the odds of that? :8^D

Heh heh, MR :-D
