Hi there - I’m mostly on Kirupa to learn more of flash, as my background is on design and illustration. I really appreciate the kind folks here who offer their code, FLAs and help. Since I can’t really contribute much on the Flash front, I thought that I’d at least share what I spend my time doing. Last year I decided to get my illustrated career going by self-publishing alt-kid’s books. My first one, [Caught Creatures](http://www.caughtcreatures.com) was published at the tail end of 2005 and I’ve been promoting it at comic conventions and locally in Phoenix. Anyway, I just got my second book done, called “ **KlawBerry: Good Girl, Bad World.** ” It’s about a little monster-girl who gets her eye stolen, and her quest to get it back. Here are a few cruddy photos I took last weekend: ![](http://farm1.static.flickr.com/144/377591299_818d0c0c45.jpg) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3299/ff0d570fbe27af41.jpg) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3300/73df4807c48bea92.jpg) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3301/5095e068a0351bd2.jpg) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3303/fe2e264d24fe324e.jpg) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3304/d6efb6bec8c1be0f.jpg) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3305/b94e02b4e21f39e5.jpg) The art was done in FreehandMX, and then pulled into Photoshop to texture it. Without sounding like too much of a jerk, I’m really happy how well it turned out, and I’m proud to have gotten another big project done. I’m trying to do 1 book a year, and so I’m basically on schedule. Thanks for looking. [Klawberry.com](http://www.klawberry.com)
