SO. HAPPY.Hi everyone – I just wanted to report on my experience with my Blurb books which arrived today. They are volumes of drawings from my drawing-a-day project. The books are 7×7", 44 pages each. I love them! The color is FANTASTIC (a VERY important thing to me since they’re books of my artwork) and the bindings are strong. I could not be more thrilled to sell these. Thank you thank you thank you! When I saw them, I got misty. Seriously!
In the bottom photo, the upper two books are hardcovers and the bottom two are softcovers. I was equally pleased w/ the quality/color of both versions, but I must say that it’s pretty cool to have the hardcover w/ its dust jacket. ;) An aside: I had a greyish tone behind my artwork ever though I checked and double checked that it was 100% white in Bookmart. Well, now that I have the books in my hands, I can say that it was an artifact from the program – there’s no grey at all in the final thing. Thank you, Blurb! I am beyond words. Megan

Megan, Wonderful books! And very inspiring too. I think I may have to try a similar project. I haven’t been very active as an artist since I graduated college. Work and family has kept me busy with lots of excuses to say I’ll draw or paint tomorrow. It’s been a long while now and I think something like a drawing a day could get that part of my brain working again. Thank you for posting your books! It was a pleasure viewing your work. Jessica | |

Go for it, Jessica! It is sucha rewarding thing to do… even if I had never published them. It’s been an amazing journey :) Thank you all for looking! Megan | |
