The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide

I flip flop back and forth between listening to music and enjoying silence
when writing just about anything… including this book. Today I felt like
some musical inspiration so I found and downloaded (legally) a great album
called, ‘Birds of a Feather’ by the Caribbean Jazz Project. Although it has
no connection whatsoever with the subject I’m writing about the light and
expressive rhythms are exactly what I needed; especially on a windy cold
February afternoon.

It’s funny how the right music, playing in the background, can loosen your
mind and push out some of the more muddy thoughts you tend to hold onto.
Today it helped me finalize the very last sample model I needed to create
for the book. So to the members of Caribbean Jazz Project I say, “thanks for
the inspiration.”

As the rest of the book continues to near the end I recently sent off some files to the fellow who will be designing the cover art for the book. These included some simple but colorful renders of a few of the basic building techniques found inside. Hopefully, they will give the book that ‘old school’ look of a very retro LEGO instruction sheet of some sort. I’m anxious to see the cover art finish and posted as soon as possible. The ‘Cover not available’ text on Amazon and Chapters.ca just ain’t cuttin’ it for me.
