Is there any interest...

[impressive]

I'd love to do a short story if anybody wants to write it.

When is the deadline?

No stories in this book. Just visual arts.

No photos of people, though. Too many legal issues there. I'm not ready to deal with that yet.

This is actually a very simple issue. As long as the photos of the person or people involved comes with at least one photo that includes a face, a copy of valid ID showing that face is over 18, and a model release with a signature that matches the one on the valid ID, you're covered.

Also, photography that shows NO faces or identifying marks (like tats or birthmaks that happen to spell out "666" or something else easily recognizable) can be recognized as "royalty free" or with restricted royalty granted to the publisher if the photographer provides a letter granting the royalty free or restricted royalty permissions of the photos.

In short, the photographers can do most of the foot work for you to make easier for the photos of people to be published.

Thanks for the info. I'm still not going there. This isn't a photography book. It'll just be a collection of greyscale scans & digital art.

This is a rough draft of the cover concept. Will need a few sketches for the cover, too:

Like so.

I love it but I admit to being biased...

 

[haha_on_me]

It's a neat concept, but leaves me out since I typically don't do erotic drawings or cartoons.

Question

Will this be one illustration per page?
6"x 9" vertical.... so some of the images I have are horizontal... I may crop, or see how the look scaled down.

OR...were you thinking of turning horizontals 90° on the page?

I am guessing that two page spreads would be risky (registration, the gutter and I doubt shingling is taken into account).

No stories in this book. Just visual arts.

So by comics, you mean like one panel Playboy/New Yorker type stuff?

You threw me with the word "comics" which means storytelling to me, by "do" I meant illustrate, similar to Patty's limerick thing, two pages maybe, now you say "just images" - I tell stories with images, i.e., a story need not have dialogue to be a story.

Please clarify, no stories or no words? Single panel/page images only, i.e., no sequential images, etc., that and the deadline thing.

Thanks.

A series of images is fine, as long as one artist doesn't dominate the book. Would prefer that no one comic/storyboard take up more than 4 consecutive pages in the 6x9 book.

THROBBS -- will rotate if that's what the illustration calls for. A single illustration spanning two pages would not be recommended.

Ooooh, I'm glad you said this now. The story I'm doing is roughed out to at least 8 pages. Would that be a problem?

Only if I'm deluged with pages and pages of submissions & it won't fit.

Irezumi will be worth it!

Bump. Since we have established that a two page story is acceptable, I'll repeat: if anybody wants to write it, I'll draw it - I've been trying to come up with blindness related themes, but no luck so far.

 

[THROBBS]

Hmmm... How is this going?
I know I have submitted anything, but I do still have some interest.
