Thanks everyone. T...This is all excellent feedback. Thanks everyone. There certainly seems to be a consensus that bigger art is better, and I'm glad to learn that. It's funny because I've been in love with the idea of printing this small little volume all this time. My private little world in the palm of my hand<br><br>So, personal preferences aside, in the end this will come down to economics. Large color printing is of course, very expensive. Are people willing to pay enough to justify the large format? At any rate, that's down the line. Producing more material, publishing digitally and getting public reaction are the next goals.Tom Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11624247648988106639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-65932393726353874042014-08-18T19:27:56.730-07:002014-08-18T19:27:56.730-07:00Gorgeous stuff Tom.

But it's shaping up nicely.

To see it almost dinkier than dinky just doesn't work for me.<br><br>I love the design idea of breaking into deep thought, simple symbol mode. Those are great and a oerfect complement to the stories. I just want it to occur on 11 by 17 pages.<br><br>Also think the white space around the art is over much. With modern stories typically bleeding off the page, it looks like too much orphaning of what we like .

Glad you think I'm on the right path.<br><br>Hey Marty, I'll definitely be doing more experiments before committing to print, and if you come down now and again maybe we can talk more about these different options.<br><br>Sybil wrote to Otis a couple weeks back, but at the next book session Sybil said Otis had not as yet written back. I forgot to ask about it last class and I won't be going back for awhile unfortunately.<br><br>However, I think we can safely assume that no one could forget Blair.

Blair and I were just talking about yr book(s) last night, and I decided I needed to check in with you today and find out how your book making class is going--and here's yr post. <br><br>I call it <i>"kismet."</i><br><br>Your desire to break up the flow of an unrelenting full-color narrative sounds great, and looks like it'll yield good stuff. But I still want to see how much the effect (and affect) changes if the pages are printed larger with something closer to a "full bleed" layout.<br><br>'Cuz they're so great! I like getting lost in the image--not having it so "framed" on the page, and therefore pushed away from me and my emotional/aesthetic involvement.Davis Chinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168954208679712542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-72071532443726719142014-08-18T12:07:36.492-07:002014-08-18T12:07:36.492-07:00Before doing any hard copy printing I will probabl...Before doing any hard copy printing I will probably try to make it into an e-book at some point.
