Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Children's Illistrators

I put up a guru project invitation for a cover for my book (I'm going to be using lulu to print copies for friends, families, and the beta test*). So far, I have over forty proposals, and more come in every day. As a point of comparison, I regularly post programming and graphic arts projects, and I rarely get more than ten submissions. Even sadder for them is that an old friend has agreed to do the cover for me as a favor.

* I will be having a number of boys (and maybe some brave girls), most who don't know me, read the book and provide feedback.
