Preview Pages

Everyone's preview pages have been sent out as .PDF's by now. If you did NOT receive yours, please let me know and I'll get them out to you ASAP.

Once I get everyone's "ok" on their pages, then we can move ahead and actually start uploading the book to Lulu. (exciting, yay!) Right now our plan is to upload the book to Lulu, then Grace and I will be ordering 1 proof copy for ourselves. This is so we can review it in print, and address any last minute changes (color levels, spelling errors, etc) if need be before sending out the final link to everyone.

Layout Progress

I am starting to send out preview .PDF's to each artist of their bio page and following artwork. Please look over your pages and email me if I've misspelled anything, got your email/URL wrong or anything else like that. Don't worry about the lower image quality; these are small size PDF's for review, not the final high-quality files.

Ideally I'd like this book to go to print by the end of July, so if everyone can review their pages and get back to me in a timely manner it will help a lot. And if your page looks perfect, please send an email anyway with an "ok" so I can check you off.

Thank you everyone for your patience while we compile the book!

Book Layout & Missing Artwork

A big thank you to everyone who sent in their artwork, it's looking incredible!

The next step is for Grace and I to take all the pieces and design the layout of the book itself. There will be a table of contents and each artist will have their own bio page, followed by their artwork. We'll then email out preview pages to each artist for the final ok - to make sure everything is spelled correctly, your website URL is up to date, we have the correct titles on your work, etc. This will take us at least a few weeks, so please be patient! This is the first time I've put together a book like this so that's just my rough estimate. All the progress will be posted here to the blog so keep checking back!

That being said, I'm still missing work from a few people. (a couple of you have emailed or called me directly, so you're ok) I've listed below the people I haven't heard from regarding artwork, and the number of pieces they still need to send in. If your name is on this list, please email us and let us know where you're at with your illustrations ASAP.

Book Layout

Hey everyone, hope you're busy drawing/painting/sketching away!

I just wanted to make a quick post to say that if you've already finished with your piece (I know a couple of you already have!) there's no need to wait until the May 20th deadline to send it off. You can send it off anytime beforehand, it will actually help to speed up the process of compiling the book.

Right now I'm working on my own piece as well as the layout - can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
