Social Media Network ELLO Inspires Picture-Book For Grownups

MONTREAL - Jan. 5, 2015 - PRLog -- Written in “captain’s log” form, ELLO MONKEY is a three-month slice of the Ello beta experience, with a substantial dose of satire and humor, and illustrated in JC’s signature style.

"Just when I thought The Internet was dead, a new and supposedly different kind of social media network popped up and caught my eye : Ello. I am an animator, so naturally, drawings of monkeys ensued."

JC Little explores the at times imperfect, but oh-so-inspiring world of Ello's early adopter community in this collection of impressions and reflections. ELLO MONKEY is a celebration of human foibles in its depiction of a collective user-shift away from the colossally impersonal social media giants.  With playful drawings of monkeys and a liberal sprinkling of F-bombs, the artist breathes new life into digital publishing with this eBook.

ELLO MONKEY: Reanimating Social Media  by JC Little, is available now in PDF and MOBI on Gumroad and on Amazon for Kindle (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RSVAHSO).

Here’s what others are already saying about ELLO MONKEY:

"It is only fitting that the first "how to" book I've read on Ello presents itself in such a beautifully creative, but entirely unconventional way."

– Thomas Hawk, photographer

“JC Little’s ELLO MONKEY – part manual and part cheeky early adopter diary – is not only valuable for those new to Ello, but it has inspired this early adopter to reembrace the platform. It reminds me what I love most about social media: social connection.”

– Elan Morgan, screenwriter & author of Citizen of the Month

"Ello opened up a world of possibilities in how we think about social media.  Whether you are an Ello user or not, you will enjoy JC’s humorous enthusiasm for the online community."

– Neil Kramer, screenwriter & author of Citizen of the Month

"ELLO MONKEY impishly explains how a home away from home can be full of monkey business, ad-free popcorn, friendly fEllos, and meaningful conversations. JC Little is hilarious."
– Susan Caney-Peterson, writer
