This week has been spent on getting the text for The Metaning written out. I went and bought a bunch of tracing paper from a drafting supplies place, and printed out page after page of consolidated speech bubbles (the A3 printer has SO been worth its weight and space). Taping these down on board, and the tracing paper on top, I’m able to ink the letters and speech bubbles. The polarising filter I ordered for my camera arrived, so I’ll be able to start experimenting with lighting positions again, to try to eliminate the reflection off the ink. I’ll also scan the speech bubbles, so worst case scenario, I can add them digitally if they can’t be photographed. That’s a tad meta in itself, scanning the hand drawn speech bubbled so they can look like they were photographed on the work.
I also output some final versions of my photography exercises from the various photography classes I’ve done at ACP. These are entries for the term 3 exhibition, so fingers crossed, they’ll be accepted.
More big news on the ArtStart checklist – my iBooks store account has become active, which means I can now begin uploading and selling ePubs / iBooks documents.
