I draw in Procreate on my iPad. The first book has sold well but not that I can live from it. Working part time and writing part time for now.

Hi again!
Just wanted to say that book 2 (The magicians wand) in my Mira Broom series has been released. (Only in Swedish for now).

2 of the 3 are purchasable now so I'll grab them. When you know Count on Minus[English] is back in stock let me know.

Is there no way to buy direct from you? I'll cover shipping etc. Rather you have it than Mr Besos. If not no probs.

Amazon KDP is print on demand so it’s printed when someone orders.
When I look at the site they are all available. I was in contact with Amazon kdp and they told me it could have to do with Amazon not shipping to a certain country. When I use a British delivery address they are available.
I don’t have any books to sell myself sadly but let me know in a PM if you if you want to order any of the books and I see what I can do.

Thanks. And I’m sorry I accidentally pressed the down thumb and now I can’t undo it.

Update

Now my books seems to be available on Amazon.co.uk again.
Please take a look and if you like them please write a review.

I’ve research this a bit and it seems it can go out of stock when the printer has too much to do. Like before Christmas. I’ll keep an eye if it becomes available again. It’s still available at Amazon.com though.

You're sold out already!

Not really. They are print on demand.

With the utmost respect I wish you every success!
Just browsing through your website promises to be a lot of fun - for example I'd love to know what's connected to the shadowy guy called William Pokus !?
Great that this beautiful project has become real

Without giving too much away I can say that Pokus stood for the wild untaimed magic and it is said that Hokus turned him into a shadow… or did he?

Just wanted to say that I have self published 3 picture books on Amazon.

They are in English and available here if anyone is interested:

Only softcovers.

No news of a English version of Mira but I know a Danish version is on the way.

I have both written and illustrated it.
I actually used SketchUp to model a stair for perspective reference for a few illustrations.

As some of you know I have been writing and illustrating children’s books lately.
Finally my first book has been launched.
Available only in Swedish at the moment. But title in English is: Mira Broom & Tom Hat - The Book of Spells
It’s a chapter book for ages 6-9 and the first book of three in a series.
I have also made a website for the book http://www.mirakvast.se

Yeah. I lost my job during the pandemic.
Not doing much SketchUping lately.
Still I use to check in every now and then.
It’s such a great community.
Now I’m working part time on trains and part time s a childrens books writer/illustrator. Not much I can show yet though.
Secret, secret you know. Next autumn the first of three books will be released. Can’t wait to show them.

I saw this documentary years ago on TV and found it today on YouTube. Very interesting about the use of lenses and mirrors by old master painters. Well worth a look.

I just stumbled upon this thread.
I'm really sorry you lost you job Jan!

You sure are one heck of an illustrator, be it 3D or 2D. These are amazing, I'd love to purchase your books for my kids! Let us know when they get published

Thanks.
I’l let you know if or when any of them are published.

Started following you on Instagram!, Amazing works!
How do you draw the neat counter lines? Amazing skill!

Hi. Thanks for following me on Instagram.
What do you mean with ”neat counter lines”.
I don’t know what that means.
Could you explain?

Thanks.

I have recently finished my fourth book. Now trying to find a publisher.
I have some more images on my Instagram.

See private message.

This plugin by thomthom kind of does it.
https://extensions.sketchup.com/extension/1356b8f5-54c3-4df9-a6ed-28466ff41ede/transformation-inspector

For what it's worth.
If you temporarily comment out the line: unless file_loaded?(FILE) you can run the script again without restarting SU but you will get a new plugin menu entry for every time you run it.

Great work.
