Arfabet - final presale day!
Hey Beautiful People! It's the last day of the Arfabet Kickstarter campaign so I'm posting another update, as promised, to give a sneak peek of some of the pages I've been working on for the book!
Here's the cover, starring our Queensland HeelerI looked closely at the original cover for Arfabet so the two would look good together.
Here's my interpretation:
There might be some design details that still need some TLC before I go to print, but I'm about halfway done with the interior pages at this point, and will spend the next three days nailing those down, writing the glossary, etc.
Phew! It's been a big month putting this together and I've loved being able to share it with you. I'll post a few more updates here in next few months to show you some more inside pages, and my work on the animation, creating the backer rewards, and preparing for the exhibition and book launch at Velvet da Vinci Gallery this October! Of course, if you're a backer, you'll get this sent directly to your email.
ONE FINAL BIG THANK YOU TO MY KICKSTARTER BACKERS!!! I REALLY COULDN'T DO THIS BOOK WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT IN HELPING ME COVER PRINTING AND PRODUCTION COSTS.
YOU ROCK!
