In preparation for FC, I've created a design for the cover of my <a href="http://ket-ralus.com/journal/books/reptiles-of-the-mushroom-kingdom/"><em>Reptiles of the Mushroom Kingdom</em> book</a>. I've actually been waiting to do this since AC '08, but have shuffled it aside like so many other things. I'm rather satisfied with my work here, since paint pens aren't always easy tools to work with. However, since this book has a canvas-bound cover (as opposed to the smooth-ish surfaces of the other books) there was little risk of smearing. I did the scan before applying the packing tape this time. Also, the tape covers the entire front of this particular book, though I'm skeptical as to whether it's actually needed for a canvas-bound surface. Only about four more days now...
