… except for me and my monkey book!!!
Now I just need to put it in my sidebar and do links… I guess you could just go to thebookpatch.com where my other book is sold and do a search for the monkey book… I don’t even know if there is a page where they both show up together…
Look at me holding my baby…
Or is this one better?
They both sort of look like pictures of a monkey holding a book with a picture of a monkey on it…

Pouring My Art Out 
You look so proud as you should!
I made a baby monkey…
My fingers got numb scrolling down. You’ve got lotsa fans man. I’m humbled several times over. Hope your book does well.
Thanks. The first one isn’t… not really… but I don’t do much marketing… I suck at that.
Nobody likes marketing their own stuff. I think it’s the worst part of publishing.
I like the first photo for marketing purposes, kids like smiles. The second is a better likeness of you as an individual.
Cool… am I an individual now? I am working my way up! I doubt I will use those for anything else… if I need a picture of me holding the book I can do better… I just had Mollie take a few quick shots with my cheap camera.
You know, you apart from the book, I wish my eyes aged as well as yours have.
Thanks… when I start to go, it is going to be fast…
Yayyy! I like monkeys…!
And also… I am up to chapter 8 of the Saloon at the Edge of Everywhere…
The action is just beginning to happen. And Arthur Blacke is so calm… at least, so far!
Calm… lazy… whatever… he isn’t doing anything on purpose…
Hmmm… calm laziness? Maybe like a lazy lion… I am waiting to see what happens as the plot thickens…
And it does… oh yes… it does…
Mwah-ha-haaa I am looking forward to it!
cool.
I just did a post and I sort of mentioned you without really telling people who you are…
Ooooh! I’m coming over to have a look…
Do it!
Cool post! 🙂
I may be a book club post!
Brilliant!
I meant ‘do’ a post… not be a post…
I know…
I didn’t know you were a hippy…
I was an eighties hippy…
I was a 70’s hippy… I win.
What happened between Vietnam on TV, joining the navy, and becoming a hippy? Aren’t hippies, like, all about peace and not war, man?
I can’t talk about that here.
Oops. Sorry.
That’s okay.
Where instead?
🙂
Well, nowhere really.
Mmm… That’s okay, I still love you. I have some nowhere stories of my own.
Ha and yay.
So proud of you!!! You look great too. You’ve achieved a goal and dream that many desire but few accomplish.
I’m glad you posted your drawings of characters from Saloon at the Edge of Everywhere. My imagination was close on most of them 🙂
So I must ask… because I know this will happen… what do I do when I finish reading it? I know I am going to want more and won’t be able to think of much else except when I can read on…
The second book…and the next two are done. I am going to send #2 to the editor soon. Hope to have it done before Christmas.
I’m going to have to wait that long?!?!?!
My daughter does the actual sending to the publisher. I can’t hurry her.
But people are already demanding the next book be released!!!
What can I do?
Tell her people are trying to knock down your door to get the next copy…
I will try that.
Right before I went to sleep they were just sitting down to their game. Time for the next chapter!
Stuff is going to happen… but first we are going to discuss reproductive processes… in the book I mean…
I was wondering about reproduction in the book… especially reproduction of um… of the Stleeb…
That is a mystery even to the alien who wrote the books…
I figured as much. Seems, though, that it would be very difficult for them to… procreate… in the humanly way, given the location of the… reproductive systems…
I think I leave it to your imagination… sorry…
My imagination is very twisted…
That works well for this.
I figured that already…
I want people to let their imaginations run wild while they read these.
Don’t worry… there will be no problem with that, as long as one has even a small imagination, your desire will be met.
Umm… okay
Sorry… my mind is thinking in a sort of fairytail-ish accent and language today…
Don’t fall off the unicorn…
It has seatbelts.
ha
May I interview you for my blog sometime?
Heck yeah!!!
Yay!!! I was hoping for that answer!!! I want to finish this first book first and incorporate the interview into my book review 😀
That would be awesome.
Really??? It would be awesome for me and my readers for sure!
Hello… attention hog here…
I forgot for a millisecond…
ha
Dude! I’m gonna buy your book! By the way, I put you on my blogroll. Sorry, I thought you were on there already. Ha. Maybe I deleted you before, but I would never do such a thing. 😉 XOXO
Which book??? The monkey one is for little kids… and we haven’t set the price yet, so it might be expensive now… so wait a few days… or get the other one… or both…
Well, can’t I just have the joyfulness of a little kid in order to buy the monkey book?
There are no rules when it comes to monkeys…
I genuinely like this. Something -hopefully -sane from you to children. Looks fun and sweet.
As for the monkshots, would have been nice it the first monkey was hanging from the tree behind him.
That is why artists rarely use monkeys as their models…
Because it makes them think like Trent? And demands humanly impossible things from them?
That too, yes.
How exciting, congratulations. Will the book be available to purchase through iBooks?
On some e-readers, yes… maybe not all of them…
We have to showcase that for you!
ooohhh… I forgot all about that…
well i hope it was a good surprise then!
I am all atwitter
hee hee
oh yeah
Awesome Arthur! Congrats!! Do you want help??
I have to wait for Jess to do a couple things… like set the price and stuff… maybe this weekend… she is busy and in a bad mood…
Ha okay
I did talk to her… she lost her hearing aid…
who wha
That’s what she said… HA!
I understand her
Well I don’t usually…
you’re male
I am???
i think so now i’m doubting
No… I am… I checked…
phew
yeah
dude… go to this link…
http://theviewfromadrawbridge.wordpress.com/2013/11/02/how-to-become-a-battered-woman/
I don’t know it that worked, I will post the link on your last post… it is about how abuse slowly starts… you might want to reblog it
Great Job! Congrats!!! 🙂
Thanks so much.
Excellent. However, as Doc can attest, the monkey may become enraged over this. He does not tolerate monkey idols. As I type, he is slinging his foul feces around the room, and is vowing revenge on the vaguely-human personage carrying the offensive depiction of the monkey’s forefathers, as shown in that photo. Look, I did warn you. Monkeys are cruel, vain beasts I’m afraid, although they do seem to be good at encouraging me to write stories that border on the ludicrous and often fall over that particular cliff into sheer gibberish. Great, now the monkey is flinging his feces at me. I will take it like a man. Dear monkey, with your Rhonda/Susan testicles all swollen with ichor, please be gentle with my friend Art; he is but an aspiring (actually a real) author who seeks to bring joy to the children of the world, possibly the adults too. There, I’ve done my piece.
Has he even read it yet? Shheesh… everybody is a critic.
Actually, I think the monkey will proudly overlook the naiveté of PMAO.
They love they attention.
Actually the monkey in your book seems an attention hog, and I say it shall soon be excommunicated because the monkeytribe is actually a dignified one, having graver personalities than that apparently vain one in your book. And the “thing” looks even self satisfied in spite of itself.
Well it is an artistic interpretation of a monkey.
Ha! Especially considering the artist in question.
well… yeah…
Hehe
First picture is better because your chin is down. But you should lighten the shadows under your eyes.
Makes me look mysterious.
Or maybe it’s from not sleeping enough due to blogging and writing books?
ouch… but maybe…
But you’re right, you do look a little mysterious. And a lot proud, too 🙂
And old and tired, evidentially… sigh…
Yes.
indeed
You didn’t say it was a book about MONKEYS!!!
I did posts with some of the pictures I painted… so yeah I did.
I find it difficult to keep up. The pressure is great.
Nobody notices when the pressure is small.
That’s why it’s more enjoyable.
oh… right…
Yeah, he did! You were probably too busy winning or being right about something at the time to notice.
I do think I was pretty clear about the monkeys…
I can’t read everything. It hurts. Should I just quit now that I’m failing?
No!
So you have mercy then? That’s good. Thank you 🙂
I am chock full of that mercy stuff.
Quit? Not on my watch, you won’t. What’s with this failing and quitting crap? I hope you’re not serious and only looking for sympathy.You’re a fighter and a winner. End of story.
There are no quitters here… they all quit already.
Quit was referring only to this context: reading all of Art’s posts. I don’t want to offend him, yet I can’t read everything.
Oh. Never mind then. No fair commenting if you don’t read tough. You can’t have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat.
Meat and pudding for everybody.
Time to go make some shakey puddin’.
Hey now.
I miss the old Burt Reynolds buddy movies.
Well who doesn’t?
It was excellent shakey puddin’ too.
sigh
I read the posts I comment on.
Yeah you do… don’t let him talk to you that way… and read tough is a cool typo…
😀
Go ahead. Offend. Just more grist for his ever-grinding mill.
and gristle… I need gristle… for the spam mill.
Ha 🙂
sigh
I never said anybody had to read everything… I have a couple of people who stopped reading anything… I was talking to just those two people.
Ok!
These three-way conversations are very confusing.
I know right. We need a fourth. Anyone? Anyone?
I’m just trying to find the bridge… oh that was deep…
It’s all water under the bridge anyway.
Water under the bridge? Is that the best you got, kid? I thought you knew better than to come poking around here. Slow day at the easel?
Bridge over the river why-bother…
I’m mentally preparing for my first day of volunteer work at the Food Bank actually. So far I’ve tinkered with photos, had a nap, and eaten bran flakes. I’m exhausted.
Bran flakes will do that…
Poor baby. You’ll need another vacation after this week. New Zealand would be nice this time of year. Buy an new camera before you go. We look forward to the photos. NOT!
Play nice…
But she’s being a whinny baby Arty. I never get to whine and she always does and she always gets away with it. NO FAIR!!! *protruding lower lip*
That was very convincing.
Showed her!
Now put that lip away.
Do I sense a twinge of bitter herbs in your tea this afternoon?
He smokes it.
Hmmmmmm…
um hmmmmmmmm
“He smokes it.” The worst part is, not only do it not play well with others, but I don’t share either.
Poor Art. What will he feed his squirrels now?
I think their diet is covered right in their name…
You said it.
Soggy Bottom Boys…
Good going 😀
