Today has been one disaster after another! Time is running out to get our comic printed for the art fayre and there is no printers able to do the job for a reasonable price. Most of them won't even give us a quote because it's a small print run and I guess the job just isn't worth their time. Usually I'd do it on the photocopier we have, but it's broken!
so now I'm faced with the problem that most small pressers face at some point - do I make this comic at a loss? Is it worth printing at the same price or more than cover price will be? The point of this work wasn't for commercial gain, so maybe we will just have to pay ridiculous printers prices.
I've also just finished a seven page strip that I'm hoping will be accepted for the IMA anthology. Once again I realise that typography is going to be a big issue with my work this year. Lettering is a skill and artform in its own right, and its a skill I don't have! I'm really going to have to get to grips with lettering on computer.
This is going to be a busy year!
Lee has said that the prints are ready, so we can pick them up tomorrow night. They were quite experimental! We asked artists at Caption small press convention to contribute images for limited edition prints, which Lee agreed to produce. I'm quite excited to see how they turned out.
