Who draws the diagrams for the book? They made the book a fun read for me. Are they hand drawn?

Thats an awesome attention to detail. It looks like a lot of work on top of writing a book. It feels like a great debt is owed for the amount of work that's gone into something I can essentially enjoy for free.

When it's finished, I'll buy a copy.

I have thought about doing the initial sketch digitally, but I think it's actually a little faster to do it on paper. I could be wrong.
