Wallpaper: Books
Allow me to start by saying I'm quite happy with this drawing, so if you are not for some reason, I beg your pardon :-) I'm usually not 100% satisfied with every new picture, and just get too tired to continuously improve it, so I just stop somewhere. This time however, I did enjoy the process till the end! And it took me several days to complete.I wanted to try new technique, so I took a gel pen and A3 paper. After couple of days of relaxed drawing, I scanned the result and continued in Photoshop - added text layers, colors, effects, and some little details (which took another couple of days). I also made several color variations, because I am not sure which color combination is better, so I figured I'd publish all of them. As you can see, this picture is very hard to use as desktop background - it is too busy with details, hard to see any icons above it. This is intentional. Usually I design my wallpapers with lots of empty space, to make them easy to use. This drawing was specifically designed for my highly successful collaboration with DecalGirl.com - they sell vinyl skins for laptops, phones and other devices. So I made this drawing with print in mind, not screen. You might even want to get a poster - I can assure you it will look impressive :-)P.S. If you're curious, the text written on the pages is from Alice in Wonderland - no wonder, is it?

Blog: Happy New Year!
Dear visitor,
it is already January 1st here, and although a little late, I'd like to take this chance and wish everyone a wonderful 2012!
You might have noticed I was a little quieter than usual lately. The main reason for that (not counting being a unexperienced dad) is the e-book that I have been working on. It is, no doubt, most difficult and time-consuming project I have ever had. I teamed up with great people and I appreciate their help very much. We (naturally) targeted for this Christmas, but in the end we decided to squash last bugs and make final polish instead of releasing "almost ready" book. So, the book is coming this January!
Here is the quick preview of how the book looks now (please forgive the shake - I was filming that on New Year's night :-) -
In several days, I'll publish professional video trailer, as well as new website for our publishing house. I'll also write a looong post in my blog, with all kinds of details of e-book production.
And of course, the e-book itself!
Finally, I wanted to thank everyone who purchased an account, left a comment, or simply visited my website. Running a website like this is a dream came true. Where would I be without my audience? :-)
Happy New Year!

Blog: Great voices wanted!
Once again, I want to make use of having such a great website audience :-)
For the upcoming release of our interactive e-book, we have translated it into the following languages: Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Dutch, Czech. What we also need is a voice to read the story in each of these languages. This is no easy task: finding friends of friends is already not enough! If you or someone you know can make a high-quality voice recording, please get in contact! For reference, here is the voice for the English version, recorded by the most excellent Scott Ross. We naturally want to keep the voices as similar as possible, so male voices are preferred. Thanks for your time!
