We'd like to thank all our customers who have supported our
move into periodic publication by subscribing to the first four issues of
Illustrators Quarterly or by ordering the first issue. Similarly it's been very
gratifying to hear all the positive comments and receive pre-orders for our
next book The Art of Denis McLoughlin . Your support is very important to us and
we appreciate the commitment given the
current economic climate. There is of course still time to subscribe and take
advantage of our free UK postage offer. We've kept the international rates as
low as possible too despite the recent Royal Mail price hike. If you like to
support us by paying now rather than on publication just say so in the comments
section of your order, or use PayPal, otherwise credit/debit cards will only be
charged once we are ready to ship your order.
And so to the update...
The digital proofs are now at the printers being given the
once over. Shortly we will get a print out which will be our last chance to
discover any howlers. I say this as one of five people who's proof read the
Quarterly and the book so far. The observant amongst you will have noticed that
we recently changed the cover for Illustrators #1. The new cover has more,
shall we say va-va-voom and I think a wonderful noir feel redolent of the
classic crime films of the 1940s and '50s.
I'll leave you with a sample of the stunning artwork that
accompanies the Ian Kennedy
interview
and a couple of my favourite McLoughlin
covers for the T.V. Boardman books.
Don't forget to come back soon for more progress reports and
sneak previews.
Regards
Dave
