My latest video

Trying hard to keep my Harptoons work separate from my illustration site, but I have been working on these "how to draw" videos for kids and having so much fun doing it. I have more of these videos on my Harptoons bloghttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

Busy Busy Busy

Gee whiz, this summer is just crazy busy. I have no time for personal projects at all right now, but I was able to turn this out one night with what little spare time I have.

This is a more finished monster from my drawing book "Drawing Monsters With Letter. This Monster is Arrgor and you use the letter A to draw it's face...hard to see it in this advanced version, but if you have the book you'll know.

Learn How to Turn The Letter "J" into a Monster

Here's a short video that shows how to draw one of the many characters in my new book Drawing Monsters With Letters.

I am going to post all of my how to draw monster videos on my new blog [LINK] dedicated to my Drawing Animals With Numbers books and Drawing Monsters With Letters Books.

Yep, you can order your copy of the book Drawing Monsters With Letters and have it shipped right away. It wasn't supposed to come out until December 6th, but it's out now. So order your copy today and learn how to draw 26 furry-fun monsters.

Decmber 6th My new book comes out

Just received word from the printer that my new book will be delivered on December 3rd! Very exciting. I will be selling the book on Monday December 6th. Not sure if I am going to do a pre sale of the book or not. But I will be promoting my newest book a lot over the next 20 days.

My Newest Book Ready for Print

My newest book is ready to go to print. I have finished all the paperwork, dotted all the "i's" and crossed all the "t's" and now it's go time.

So what are the things you have to do to when you publish your own book?

1. Find a printer. I am using Book Masters Inc in Ashland OH. They did a great job on my first book Drawing Animals With Numbers.

2. You need an ISBN number. You can go to Bowker.com to get an ISBN number which you will find on any book sold via retail. International Standard Business Number.

3. Library of Congress Number. This was the hardest thing to apply for but it costs nothing. The website is very hard to understand. Just trying to figure out where to log in is a challenge.

4. Copyright your work. Now a copyright is a very misunderstood entity. Actually any work you produce is your property (you just have to prove it in court) A copyright only protects that actual piece of work and not an idea or theme. If you write a book about Space Cats you can copyright it but that does not mean that another person or company can not write a book about Space Cats. It protects you from someone taking your work and reproducing it as their own.

That's it. That's all you need to produce your own books. Now to sell it!
