Print Sparks
About 2 weeks ago I saw a link on pixelsurgeon. It was relating to a promotion Epson were doing for their new range of printers. Basically the idea was for you to put your prefered piece of whatever, drawing/photo/design onto a cd in the resolution they required etc, and they would send you a print of your drawing in the end. I was all over this promotion, the thing is I didn’t expect the results to be as stunning as they turned out to be. I mean this thing is an absolute beauty. I can’t stop looking at it. The colours are exactly like I imagined and put them onto my screen.
I’ll post a picture once it’s framed. The thing is though I’ve decided that I’m going to be getting into the limited edition prints business. Any one of my illustrations will have a limited print run of 10 prints maximum, and no more after that. I say 10 because I doubt I can afford to stock any more than that at any given time. This will also make sure I do one illustration a month. They’ll probably be at A2 size as it really does show off the artwork in the best possible way.
It’s an idea I’ve had for a while now. The reason I haven’t acted on this is that I’ve never seen my digital work printed in large on good paper, except that one time 6 months ago. Iliosnare will go live sooner than I thought.
In Chameleon news, I’m slightly more confident about the final product. I’ve tweaked the size slightly and sorted out the javascript as an original exercise to start with. The list has increased since the last time I thought about it, but baby steps and I’ll get there. And just because I’m a complete tease here’s another snippet of the cover, from a completely different section of it :).
