... picturing an introduction

Redface sent me a draft of COT-O all formatted up for printing. It's pretty much good to go, except for one nagging issue. He suggested that an image accompany the introduction statement. I agree with him, but have no idea what to put here. Any ideas? Now would also be a good time to crit the intro.

I'm also thinking of annotating COT-O. Any thoughts on that?

Olivier 'LuaPineapple' Hamel said...: Have you considered having a picture/sketch of a street filled with people. If you'd look closely you'd spot a few things that aren't quite right: A keeper in a dimly lit window above the streets, someone being pickpocketed, a thief lurking in the shadows crouched on a wall... Anything to set the atmosphere prevalent in thief.

Not that that helps. Anyway, something with a sense of history, diversity, come together.

Really vague, eh?; February 17, 2010 at 5:18 PM

Oliver - any new artwork comissions would have to be for either cosas or cot-r.

ehcmier - we're on the same page, which is to say, neither of us has any clear ideas. :); February 19, 2010 at 10:08 AM
ehcmier said...: Heh heh. I forgot to answer the CoT-O (salami?) question: If you don't mind the work, I certainly wouldn't mind annotations. Of course, I'd offer both versions if the option doesn't come with unacceptable logistical problems for you. :); February 24, 2010 at 6:05 PM

The Great Big Enormous Neverending Wall

Arnie's favorite thing to do was to run around and see what he could find. But one day Arnie found something new, though it had been there all along. It was a great big, enormous, neverending wall. He wondered what could be behind it. He was sure it would be new places to run and explore. This children's book features a group of seven friends who confront a mysterious and (as the title suggests!) massive wall, and the adventure that results. The book is 8"x8" and 26 pages, with color illustration on every-other page. Recommended for ages three to ten, or grown-ups who are still kids at heart. 1st grade reading level.
