Best Friend Books

This will be a relatively short update on what's going on with Best Friend Books. Lisa has completed six more manuscripts, and I am working this week on getting as much illustrated as I can.

I'm currently working on two new books - "Small Things" and "All Means All," this latest title is a rhyming, child-friendly picture book that is an overview of the Bill of Rights, and what it means to be an American. This is sort of an extra title that came about because of the crazy political environment here in the United States and a desire to find a way to agree.

I finished a draft of the cover today. The artwork is based on folk art motifs from 18th century America. I will be using this style as an influence for all the illustrations for this particular book. It is actually a departure from the others in that we want a much more graphic feel. One that can easily be adapted for wearable art.

Here's the list of the additional titles, several of which we are planning on having available April 2017:

"Home"

"Next Day Better"

"Patch of Sky"

"This World Belongs to Me"

Since we have more titles, we have reduced the price of all our books to $9.95 — "My Book of Monkeys," the companion coloring journal for "How To Tame Your Monkeys," has been reduced to $6.95.

All our books are available at http://www.amazon.com. Visit our website for more updates, but for now, I must get back to drawing.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
