Book Description
A hilarious collection of hand drawn illustrations in ink, as a personal goal to complete the 2017 Inktober Challenge. This year's theme was crazy contraptions, machines that are too convoluted to work or just plain silly. There is an obvious influence by Mad Magazine's artists both in technique and dark humor. I truly hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it.

This is Ada. Although she might look like an ordinary little girl, she’s about to change the world. Augusta Ada Byron, better known as Ada Lovelace, is an inquisitive child. Like her clever mother, she loves solving problems—big problems, little problems, and tricky, complicated problems. Ada invents crazy contraptions and reads all the books in the library of her father, the poet Lord Byron; but most of all she loves to solve mathematical problems. Together with her teacher, the mathematician Charles Babbage, Ada invents the world’s first computer program. Her achievements made her a pioneer for women in the sciences.
