Today marks a new milestone in the creation of my graphic novel.
I have now edited 100 pages since Christmas and printed the final 20 that need editing… I will redraw, add text then it is finally ready for proof reading!!! After which, corrections can be made, then scanning to add final colours. After which, I send for copyright, then I can get the first print to check it looks as I want. I’m hoping by early March that the book I have worked on since I was 25 will be complete. ( I did have a few years where I barely looked at it) I am not great at finishing anything… so this has taken a gargantuan effort to get where I am. I will be printing about 20 copies to start with…
My aim is to send off to a publisher in America that looks promising… that’s the next part of the dream.
I remember starting this project… in a Bedsit in north London… I could have finished it years ago, but I’m glad it’s taken me until now as I’ve learnt so much in the last 10 years that I wouldn’t have been able to put into this… readable art project. Book 2 is well in hand… I wonder how things will change before I finish it?!
