Questions and answers - My Painting Scenery book

My reply is.....Unfortunately my book has never been published. Sorry about that.

For several years I kept a clipboard of scrap paper beside me when I worked and jotted notes down as the task continued. The book (Called "Painting Scenery for the Amateur Stage) is completed but it is still here in the office in a large file box. - All 200 pages of text and over 100 cartoon illustrations. I haven’t offered it to a publisher yet. No time and I would not like the thought of rejection.

I started putting it into PDF form and uploading it onto my web site but the download time was horrendous for only a few pages so I gave up.

Perhaps I need an agent!! Trouble is I am 67. I am up to my eyes in art work and desperately trying to get out of doing any more big backcloths. I am trying to concentrate instead on the small stuff and was amused to find myself working on a 230 x 154 pixels drawing for a BBC web site recently. (from 24 feet long stage sets to 230 pixels is quite a transition) So no time to go looking for a publisher.

I am on a pension and this is meant to be a hobby. No money in it - just enough to upgrade the computer and car every two years or so.

Here are some pages from my book
