Openvein in Print

Whew. I just received my first run of self-published books.

It's a 48-page, perfect-bound black and white book titled Openvein: The Art of John C. Worsley (just like my website ;), and it collects the three strongest short-story comics on the site (Heights, Mixed|Media, and Pokerface) along with a 25-page preview for my current project, a 96-page story in two parts titled Painkillers. It's also got a smattering of sketches inlaid with sparse design, many of which first appeared here on Livejournal.

The books were printed by Dream Weaver Press, and I'm generally quite pleased with the quality, aside from a technical formatting issue (which was my own fault, and not theirs).

I'll be selling these at the First Ever Stumptown Comics Fest, downtown, this Sunday, from 1pm to 6pm. Come on down, if you can!

How cool! I wish I could come and buy a copy. It's impressive work you do, no need to wish you luck, but good luck anyway. :-)

Congratulations. It must be fantastic to see all those pictures in book form. Good luck with the sales this weekend!

Are you happy with the print quality? How does the printing handle the ink washes and such?
