1. Cover Completed

Remember when I made reference to an illustration of a CD cover I was working on? I've finished it and I'm now happy with the results. I've left header room for the title.

I've had to place a copyright on the illustration which I've found I have to do more and more. Recently I found out that in China, someone using an online store (very similar to Ebay) illegally downloaded and posted my illustration and used it to help sell some Aerapostle jeans they had for sale. Everything on the website of course was in Chinese which didn't help and I had to log in and register to communicate with them. Easy enough if you could read their language. Now how does one go after someone who breaks US law internationally? They never asked nor had my permission to post my artwork and have clearly broken the laws of US copyright infringement. I'm disgusted to say the least. but let's not dampen the day. So please try to understand when you see that I've added copyright to my illustrations.

2. Videogames Are Stories Too!

We have the power to write the most interactive stories ever invented. How do we do it?

A few months ago Clive Thompson (collision detection), asked that question in a review of the game, Hotel Dusk--basically an attempt to write a fully interactive videogame private detective novel. His review pointed out  how these new game designers are 21st century novelists, opening my eyes to a whole new genre of interactive writing.

Fledgling writers should pay attention as this literary genre evolves. Slashdot Games is one of the most innovative, community-driven sites that we can use to study the form.

Today, the writer Zonk has an essay for videogame writers that we should all check out, answering the brilliant question:

"What can Star Trek teach any writer?"
