Happy New Year to anyone out there who's watching. I think it's time to nudge that Christmas post off the top of my blog so here's a photo of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Machines-Work-Interactive-Mechanisms/dp/0762443154/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1357643456&sr=1-4" target="_blank">How Machines Work</a> on display in Foyles bookshop on Charring Cross road. The follow up book <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Cars-Work-Nick-Arnold/dp/184877737X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1357643538&sr=1-1" target="_blank">How Cars Work</a> is out now in the UK. Readers in the US might have to wait a little longer as it looks like the release has been pushed back a year.<br />

My Christmas cards are back from the printers so now I just need to fold them, write them and send them out. If you're a passing / potential or previous client and you'd like a card just send me an e-mail and I'll drop one in the post.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Steve Woodgate over at <a href="http://www.inkysolutions.com/" target="_blank">Inky Solutions</a> for the fine printing job.<br />

This is one of 24 illustrations I made for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Book-Perfectly-Perilous-Math-Mathematicians/dp/0761163743" target="_blank">The Book of Perfectly Perilous Math</a> by Sean Connolly, author of <em>The Book of Potentially Catastrophic Science</em> and <em>The Book of Totally Irresponsible Science</em>. Sean Connolly likes to inject his Science and Maths with lots of fun and a little anarchy! <em>The Book of Perfectly Perilous Math</em> is published by Workman and in stores on March the 14th. Check out this <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/81185264/Perfectly-Perilous-Math-Defeat-the-Vampires-Excerpt" target="_blank" title="Excerpt from the book">Excerpt from the book</a> and see if you've got what it takes to Defeat the Vampires!<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-693" height="842" src="http://www.loopland.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/PPM_Defeat-the-Vampires.jpg" title="PPM_Defeat the Vampires" width="505" /><br />
<br />
More about <em>Perfectly Perilous Math: 24 Death-Defying Challenges for Young Mathematicians.</em><br />
<blockquote>
Math rocks! At least it does in the gifted hands of Sean Connolly, who blends middle school math with fantasy to create an exciting adventure in problem-solving. These word problems are perilous, do-or-die scenarios of blood-sucking vampires (<em>How many months would it take a single vampire to completely take over a town of 500,000 people?</em>), or a rowboat of 5 shipwrecked sailors with a single barrel of freshwater (<em>How much can they drink, and for how long, before they go mad from thirst???</em>). Each problem requires readers to dig deep into the tools they’re learning in school to figure out how to survive.<br />
<br />
Kids will love solving these problems. Sean Connolly knows how to make tough subjects exciting and he brings that same intuitive understanding of what inspires and challenges kids’ curiosity to the 24 problems in <em>The Book of Perfectly Perilous Math</em>. These problems are as fun to read as they are challenging to solve. They test readers on fractions, algebra, geometry, probability, expressions and equations, and more.<br />
<br />
Use geometry to fill in for the ship’s navigator and make it safely to the New World. Escape an evil Duke’s executioner by picking the right door—probability will save your neck.</blockquote>

Cover Artwork for 'Made by Hand : My Adventures in the World of Do-It-Yourself' by Mark Frauenfelder. This is a really great book I had the pleasure of working on recently. Big thanks to Joseph Perez at Profile books for his excellent art direction.<br />
<blockquote>
From his unique vantage point as editor-in-chief of <em>Make</em> magazine, Mark Frauenfelder takes readers on an inspiring and surprising tour of the vibrant world of do-it-yourself.<br />
<br />
He spent a year trying a variety of offbeat projects such as keeping chickens and bees, tricking out his espresso machine, whittling wooden spoons, making guitars out of cigar boxes, and doing citizen science with his daughters in the garage. His whole family found that DIY helped them take control of their lives, offering deeply satisfying ways to spend time together.<br />
<br />
Frauenfelder also reveals how DIY is changing our culture for the better. He profiles fascinating “alpha makers” leading various DIY movements and grills them for their best tips and insights.</blockquote>

I produced around 60 illustrations showing how the different types of simple machine have been applied throughout history. Here is a small preview showing a Steam Engine with Sun & Planet gears (gears), Rack Railway (Rack & Pinion), Mesopotamian Wheel (axle), Corkscrew (Rack & Pinion), Rollercoaster (Ratchet), & Sumerian Potters Wheel (axle).<br />

If you want to learn all about this stuff too then maybe you should check out <a href="http://www.amazon.com/How-Machines-Work-Interactive-Guide/dp/0762443154/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1299769179&sr=1-5" target="_blank" title="How Machines Work">How Machines Work</a> , commissioned by Quarto books and published by Running Press Kids this October. <em>How Machines Work</em> is written by Nick Arnold, author of the best-selling <em>Horrible Science</em> series, and illustrated by myself. This book will not only tell you everything you need to know about machines but also give you a chance to build working models yourself.<br />
<br />
Below is a small preview of the kind of thing you can find in the book.<br />

Yep, it's nearly spring and I've been pretty busy with one thing or another. Mostly I've been super busy working on a book that's coming out in October for Running Press kids. I'm hoping to show a bit of that work on the blog real soon but in the meantime here's a sketch I did the other day..<br />
