A graphical scene artist, Myles Stonecutter, is undertaking the publishing of a 90 page fairy tale book using graphics on the Apple II computer.  The book has taken Stonecutter more than a year to work out and according to his Kickstarter page, is nearing completion.

All of the graphics were produced on an Apple II computer using the Blazzing Paddles software package and according to Stonecutter, “Took a lot of pixel picking to get the best out of the GUI to create the atmospheric light effect.”
