I'm pleased with how the new version of this has turned out. I'll post it when the new series is finished.

I'm about halfway through a colour version of this book now. There'll still be some more editing after that, but I feel like I'm on the home stretch. When it's finished I'll start posting them.

Another one that I think will benefit from some digital jiggery pokery.

One thing that's a benefit of deciding to do this thing with digital print is that I can now think about greys (and even colours!) again. I might also incorporate

At the time I thought this was a pretty good way to work with the patience and watchful trust in the machinery that I wanted to be part of the book. But I think now that it needs some reworking. Not least because the figure looks distinctly like he's going to drool on his chest. However, I think I'll keep the lighting/sihouette arrangement, and the winfdow becomes a kind of spatial anchor later in the series when the internal space of the windmill goes bonkers. I'll definitely be reworking this.
