Books are the future
I'm an author looking for agent representation. Books are certainly part of my future. I keep writing them at any rate. I can also draw and paint, and thought it would be cool to make some library posters. I'm thinking of adding "Read them now" on the lower left. Even better, help me come up with something catchier than "Books are the Future." Here are couple more I came up with:
Belligerent: This is a library. Read a book or get out!
Fanciful: A library is an empire of books in which every librarian wears a crown--and occasionally engages in territorial expansion.
Tolkienesque: It's a dangerous business reading a book. You open the cover, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.
Pythonesque: It's the Librarian! (Like "It's the Bishop!")
UPDATE: A couple requests for posters and a slogan change. What do you think?
(If you are a librarian or someone in the book trade and you want poster sized versions of this, let me know: chrishoward.author@gmail.com).
Title: Librarian of the Future (Click to see a larger version in a popup window).
On sort of a side note, I looked at my web site stats this morning and they doubled over the last couple days thanks to Lou Anders of Pyr linking back to my fictitious SF Romance imprint post.
I began this piece last weekend, and finished it this afternoon. A little quick with the pens, but I'm happy with it. It's titled "Librarian of the Future" but following the increase in traffic to my blog, I'm so tempted to change it to "In the future all librarian androids will look like Lou Anders." (Say that nine times fast).
If I had to put a caption on it: "You're looking for Scalzi's nineteen volume OMW saga? Follow me."
