Hi Munin, I haven't touched base with you recently. I found your work through the NintendoDS Colors community years ago. Again I love your landscape works. I would buy a book of your works if you had a collection published.
I hope you are doing fine. It is very nice of you to stop by. All I can say is my apologies for the lack of regular updates. I try to do my best, but it seems everything in life comes at me at one point or another, haha. I actually miss the times when I was just somewhat lazy. :)
On the notion of a book... It's one of those things I would have/should have done maybe six or seven years ago. I have no interest in the good old "social media" of Facebook, Twitter, Insta-regret, etc... so it would be very difficult for me to promote something like that.
The book thing has come up before, a number of times, and I did start preparation for something... the exact paper texture and thickness I would want. Specific binding and cover considerations... obviously turns out rather expensive - particularly for a small one time run. I'm not abandoning the idea, but rather expanding it to a much thicker book, with the addition of a USB stick that would be filled with pencil sketches, field recordings that apply to the "content" (hate that word these days), and ambient/experimental music. I've been talking with really cool independent record labels that excel with that kind of presentation and packaging. There is a very nice little market for those kind of things. They sell, and sometimes actually cover the cost of printing, and I love that notion.
Anyway, my apologies. Too much of a heavy reply. You just touched upon things that I'm currently ankle deep in. Ahem...
Thanks for your interest and, again, hope you are doing fine.
Wow, beautiful! You have such a painterly touch with digital.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement, Jo.
