David O'Boyle's Universe…

Field Guide to Writing, Illustrating, and Self-Publishing Books

A cartoon image in a bold black outline style, depicting the backs of an anthropomorphized computer and a grown man, both as silhouettes, holding hands and joyfully skipping down a brightly lit city street at sunset. The scene is framed from a slightly low angle, emphasizing their playful gait. The silhouettes are detailed enough to suggest their forms, with the computer's silhouette hinting at a screen or monitor shape. The street is suggested by simple lines and a few subtly rendered buildings in the background. The image purpose is to show that writing a children's book and self-publishing it will require you to interact with computers, and in a lot of cases, at least moving forward, that will be with AI and ChatGPT.
