Art Book - Printed version available

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 1, 2009, 11:13 AM




















D E T A I L S


It is finally done. After countless designs, sketches and full illustrations I finally managed to put together my first Artbook.

Why did I call it Scrapbook? Well I guess I was thinking of what scrapbooking means.

Scrapbooking is a method for preserving personal and family history in the form of photographs, printed media, and memorabilia contained in decorated albums. Preserving pictures, clippings, or other mementos in an artistic manner by mounting them in books.

The book has 42 pages of art with over 100 illustrations. Some of them are here on my DA gallery but most of them have never been posted online. There is a reason why I decided to use some of my gallery art, it's as simple as this is the book I want to buy right now. Basically I kept thinking of the kind of book I liked, the design and everything but wasn't paying attention about what content would I want to see. I am proud of my gallery, I work hard on it and while I don't have the rights of every character I've drawn, I do own or share the rights of a few. Well this is a selected collection of some my favorite pieces. For now this is a Digital Download, I will try to make a print version available in the near future.



As you can see in the first sample page, a lot of work was put into the image before adding it to the book. This page reflects the practice I do before doing commission work, It is an essential process to get the quality I expect to give anyone who commissions me. I decided to share this in my book and I hope you guys enjoy it.

The second sample is an image that has already been posted here on my DA gallery. This comparison shows the improvements done to the image before adding it to the book. No image was left untouched, every single one got a change somewhere.

I've included a code in the last page of the book, the code is a password to an Open Canvas Event File. Event files are recordings of your creations, similar to those found in Oekaki boards. If you bought the book send me a note and I'll link you to the file.

Those of you buying the book on lulu.com will get the info in the thank you e-mail, those buying it from me will get the file with the book while the offer stands. Open Canvas 4 is needed to play the file, the trial version works for event files even after the trial ends.
