Books back from the printer!

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

I got my advance copies of WAHOO MORRIS Book 1 from the printer today, and I must say they look as good as I’d hoped they would. I was a little worried that the lettering would be a little too small, but it all looks good.

In a few days I should be getting the bulk of the books (about 25-35 boxes) from the printer. I’ll be using comic boxes as furniture for awhile!

As soon as the book hits store shelves, I’ll be putting it up for sale on the Too Hip Gotta Go Graphics website store.

Cleopatra, page 24.

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Page 24 of Cleopatra issue 1, from Moonstone books. This page has been 90% finished for months. Today I did all the smoke and flames in the background of the first panel, finally finishing it off. I’m about halfway through the second issue, but due to my lack of attention span there are still a few details left on the first issue. One down…

The proofs are in !

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

I got the proofs back from the printer for WAHOO MORRIS Book One today and they are lookin’ good, if I do say so myself!

I was a little worried as I used a different layout program this time around, but my fears were unfounded. It looks like I’ll have a nice looking book in my hands in a few weeks time.

Wahoo Morris Book One: at the printers!

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

So I sent the files for Wahoo Morris book one to the printer last week. Now I’m sitting back and biting my nails, hoping my first attempt at putting a book together in InDesign isn’t fatally flawed.

I know, I know, I’m just being paranoid. I’ve put together a number of comics and books in the past and they’ve always turned out like I intended them to. I was using Quark in the past, but InDesign ‘seems’ fairly straight forward.

In about a week or so I should have the proofs to ok, and then another week or so I’ll have the finished product in my hands so only time will tell.

Anyhoo, here is a small image of the cover spread…
