During the last 3,5 years (how time flies!) in my very limited free time I was preparing a quite fun personal project. And now it's theoretically finished (hip, hip, hooray!).
So, what's this project about? It's a coloring book with diverse hand-drawn vintage sceneries.
I know, it sounds like a quick and easy project. You could build a house, plant a tree and raise a kid during this time. But hey, I might have put some significant effort into these drawings (have I mentioned that my spare time was very limited?). And if I only knew... making the drawings was just the beginning!
Another time-consuming task was finding a proper printing house which would be able to print "Vintage Sceneries" according to my highly non-standard requirements. The crucial aspect was thick, high quality paper which would work for watercolors, felt pens and crayons. For some reason, only a few printing houses are able to do that! I hate to be fussy, but a lot of different paper types were tested in order to find the right one.
Not-so-crucial, but still important issues were perforations enabling removing sheets, aesthetic binding and a cherry on a top - gold and shiny frame on a cover.
Then I had to do some math in order to determine the campaign rewards. And check it... twice.
And finally, preparing the campaign itself. Only time will tell whether I did it correctly...
The campaign will last for 30 days.
Rewards will consist of pdf versions, printed books, printed books with one page colored by my humble person and original ink drawings.
Below there is a sneak-peak of "Vintage Sceneries":
I don't want to reveal too much at the moment, but there are Victorian houses, gothic graves, mysterious forest huts, medieval fantasy buildings and even a ghost sheep.
Wish me luck! I hope that you'll check out the campaign sometime :)
If it sounds interesting, check the campaign yourself :)
