Blue Man Book
Blue Man Book
Hey gang, I just finished publishing this book at Blurb.com, it took a while because I also had to write it, and in order to present my 4 Blue man image sequences properly I made a few others to fill in some gaps, like this introduction page picture, HEY LJ, check out the pattern on her robe:

Then, in order to integrate Meps into the detective series, I redid the first one with the girl robot instead:

followed by the Dropped Soda and added the emergency plan for the risky ambush complete with fugitive posters:

An then of course the Different Drummer climax , and THEN of course their car was destroyed so HERE’s what happens next:

of course Detective Blue Man lets Meps drive it first, look at him go! And a very nice ending and last page, finally a better look at the Blue Bungalow:

Whew! I think I’ve found the proper format for the Blue Man adventures, hope they sell, it’s in their bookstore now, so give it a preview if you want! All the rest of it is right here at RB!!!

Man, you’re fast! Thanks, it’s a story now, I even put a few clothes on Green Girl, for the kiddies! Blue Man wears his khaki’s at work, but no tie. Ever.

That’s one fine looking robe if I do say so myself.
Book huh? I’ll have a look see in just a min…..

That’s the pattern from LJ’s fractile done for this image:
Casey Herman
Wow! Great rendition, Syd! I wonder if he’s related to this guy?
syd baker replied
This blue guy is a trained detective, and with just a little probable cause, he’ll be pulling then over left and right!!
Von McKnelly
I like this Blue Man…he reminds me of someone but I can’t put my finger on it.
Congrats Syd on a fabulous book!!!
syd baker replied
Thanks Von, this has helped me through the traumas of being swatted like a fly at Hallmark, but it’s all good, I’m onward to self-employed again, after all these years!
syd baker replied
No one has noticed the third fugitive yet, I’m crushed…
Bunny Clarke
This is great Syd. I will have to check this out. :o) Superbly done.
Bunny Clarke
Awesome book. Excellently compliled and composed. :o)
syd baker replied
Thanks Bunny, kind of exhausting but they give you this great book layout program that really makes it a lot easier, you have to buy the first one yourself, then it goes into their bookstore, print on demand.
Bunny Clarke
I noticed you were one of the fugitives… I just got distracted looking at the book. LOL!
syd baker replied
Hee hee “I swear she told me she was 18…”
Bunny Clarke
Bad Syd… Bad! Go to your corner. ;o)
linaji
Gosh Syd … I wish there was a place to put comments to help promote you.. cause that is a steller write and Blue man looks real happy here with his sure place in history!! Great work friend
syd baker replied
Thanks Lina I knew you were his biggest fan, they have tags and keywords and stuff, and I opted for their reviewers to check it out, when they like something they make a point of it. When it comes to promoting anything, I get shy, believe that? A marketer I am not. But thanks, I’m proud of this!
raymondoantonio
No, but I’d love to!!

He is a fine fellow!

Congratulations on the book. Wonderful. All the very best with it.
Cheers mate.
syd baker replied
Thanks Peter, it’s like RB, print on demand, so it’s in the store!
Keith Reesor
Fantastic Syd!! Wishing you the best with the book!! :)
syd baker replied
Thanks Keith, they send you this book layout program that’s really cool, and you have to buy the first one, well of course! Now it’s in their store!
Dave Martsolf
Syd, What a labor of love. A whole world. Incredible dream. Very enjoyable to view it as well. Thanks so much!
syd baker replied
Thanks Dave, it all fit so well it’s 30 pages too! Glad I found that place, Blue Man belongs in a book.
Dave Martsolf
And now I find out you’re retired?? Oh, man! SH- –
—OOT !!!!Well, at least now I know we will be seeing a lot more cool stuff. And, I did notice the Hallmark cards just aren’t as good as they used to be just days ago.
Go, get ‘em Syd! Fly high!!
syd baker replied
They took our whole studio out in one swoop, and retired from HMK doesn’t mean REALLY retired. I always thought I’d be designing cards there, but no, and nothing was making sense there anymore, so at least there was severance. Going self-employed again…
mjart66
Book hay – that is cool :)
syd baker replied
As soon as I found that site I knew what I should do!
JenLand
Blue Man is an instant celebrity Syd!!! Well done!!! Congratulations!!! I hope you sell so many copies that you’re rolling in the dough my friend!! Woo hoo!!!
syd baker replied
Thanks to Jen Canella I found the blurb.com book place, and instantly knew a book was where Blue Man should be, and I was thinking of Dr Suess when I chose the title! I am also redesigning my web site to include it. It’s all print on demand at blurb.com, but you have to buy the first one yourself, then they put it in their store!
Linda Callaghan
what an achievement …fabulous…good luck with it all…and congrats on your first book!
syd baker replied
Thanks Linda, it’s a print on demand bookstore like RB, so we’ll see if anybody wants one!
Grinch / ...
Cool!!!!
syd baker replied
Thanks so much, now we see if anyone wants it!
rightasrain
Fantastic, Syd, and congrats! I love the book – well put together!
syd baker replied
Thank you, I looked at both closely and Lulu just seemed kind of severe, blurb is very user friendly, the software is easy to understand, and I’m preparing another one, just to see what happens.
rightasrain
I used to be on lulu.com but lost interest. Blurb looks good too!
owlspook
oooeee goodie!! another book on my wish list … way cool syd!! (big big smile) ... now if I didn’t just buy that terabyte external usb hard drive I could have zapped both of your books up right now … oh my … now I have wait until next payday (big smile) ...
syd baker replied
Thanks bunches! They’re not going anywhere, they’re in the blurb bookstore for keeps.
LjMaxx
A book.. thats fantastic Syd.. Styling robe indeed.. I am now going to investigate this more.. There is nothing you can’t do~
syd baker replied
Well, blurb.com is print on demand kind of like RB, and once you set your markup and buy your first copy, it goes into their online bookstore, then it’s anybody’s guess what will sell. It’s worth it to get the one at least, and lots of people do up their portfolios in hardbound! Look around their store, it’s pretty interesting.
