[scribes]: Good News 2! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 02 Mar 2001 14:29:32 -0500 From: Randy Asplund Subject: [scribes]: Good News 2! Hi everybody! My friend who is hosting my images on his server finally got that Middle Kingdom Scribes' Handbook PDF version loaded onto it. Now you can go to my home page, "scroll" down and hit the link to download a version of the book which is cross platform and opens with Adobe Acrobat. The book has a lot of special Midrealm stuff in it, but it also has a lot of good basic stuff for teaching scribal arts. Even experienced scribes should find some interesting things in there. Such as the section on gilding based on the De Arte Illuminandi treatise, or the handy and very basic guide to coordinating the right scripts to the right general time and place, how to choose materials on you own, advice on techniques, and even some script samples which don't make it into a lot of books on calligraphy, like Scandinavian gothic or early spanish. If anyone wants to make comments or wishes to critique the book, I am very interested in reading what you have to say. Please email me off list with that. Now I am turning my attention to writing again. I have been asked by a publisher to help co-author a book for Fantasy and Science Fiction Illustrators! It's about breaking into the field and surviving in it as a professional. Whoo-hoo! RanthulfR AsparlundR - -- Randy Asplund (734) 663-0954 Science Fiction and Fantasy Illustration 2101 S.
