Ramie called and told me to be sure to enter the Zazzle binder cookbook cover contest, so I asked her when it ended...(tonight of course at 1159pm). It sounded fun so I went on to check out the rules, and put my painting away to work on it instead. I could not find size requirements so I set my screen to the size of a binder dimensions and got to work on it. I have no special software so I spent a little over a couple of hours on it, went on to make the binder and in the design screen, my design showed up as at least 6 times too small. Holy smoke Batman! No time to redo it, so it's just gonna be my art effort for the day I guess...

They had plenty of foodie cookbook covers, and some cute ones, even some funny ones , so I went in a totally different direction. I almost did a cover of scattered vintage take out menus and a plaque that read " My recipes are so secret they are cleverly disguised as take out menus" because some people do not cook and I figured they could use a book to stash their take out menus in. But then I got this other idea and that was the one I went with instead.... counting this as my AEDM effort, not to worry I reduced the size of it for posting here:



Okay so it is not fine art... I had fun doing it anyway even though I am not really into doing digital art. I even designed a dark brown inside with skulls on it for the liner sections. Maybe they will come out with a smaller binder/notebook I can sell it on eventually.
