Miniatures

For the Comic Art Fair I printed a few miniatures from my comic books that I put in small passe-partouts.
They come in two sizes (incl. passe-partout / excl. frame)

The 'large' miniatures fit in frames of 13 by 18 cm. (the image size is 9 x 13 cm).
They are 3 euro's each.

The 'small' miniatures fit in frames of 10 by 15 cm (the image size is 6 x 9 cm).
They are 2,50 euro's each.

Here you can see which images from the comic books I used for the miniatures. (click and use magn. glass to enlarge)

'large'

'small'


Of course, if you wish to have a different image from my comic books as a miniature, just tell me which one you would like, and I can see if I can turn that into a miniature for you as well.

Larger sizes are possible as well, but I don't think they will still look good when they are enlarged too much (so a whole page can be printed bigger than just the one comic frame for instance).

If you order the miniatures together with both the new books, there would fit about 6 small miniatures or 4 large miniatures within the maximum weight limitations of the mentioned postage rate.

Price, Postage & Packing and Payment Options

PRICE
The price for Revenge of the Plot Bunnies will be 25 euro's.
For those of you who already pre-ordered the old price still goes of course.





The price for Sherlock Hobbes & Sidekick Mouse is 5 euro's.



Postage & Packing

Postage & packing for one of both books inside The Netherlands is 3 euro's
For the rest of Europe it is 7,30
And for the rest of the world it is 11 euro's.
This is the lowest rate and for this rate the package can not be traced and I cannot guarantee it's safe arrival, but I have not lost a package so far and I will bring them all to the post office (instead of putting them in the mailbox down the street).

If you still wish a more secure form of transportation I can find out how much sending the books by recorded delivery would be for you.

Payment Options


You can pay for the books by transferring money from a Dutch Bank Account, or by paying me through PayPal.
(If you own neither, I can look into whether it is possible for me to send you a bill from PayPal, that you can pay by creditcard without having to own a PayPal account yourself.)

Ordering
If you wish to order any of the books (or the miniatures in the next blog post), just send me an email at kipsla at gmail dot com.

New Cover for Sherlock Hobbes

Since I found out my printer uses the colour cartridge to print the B&W booklet of Sherlock Hobbes & Sidekick Mouse anyway, I decided to make a colour cover instead and replace the old B&W cover.
What do you think? (this is back and front)

My table at the comics fair:

Ready for the comics fair!!

...or am I? I am starting to get a bit nervous *grin*

I finished an printed Sherlock Hobbes & Sidekick Mouse, although I would have just shaded and printed the booklet in colour, because I found out my printer used the colour-cartridge to print the black and white anyway!!
It looks neat though :-)



I did realise, that with this booklet ending up more expensive to make than I thought, and the fact that I did not calculate the costs of the fair and such, that I may have underpriced Revenge of the Plotbunnies.

So I think I am going to have to raise the price.
Because this way I have to sell ALL the books to get even. So if I don't sell all the books (which is unfortunately the more realistic scenario) I might end up bankrupt XD. So I am not sure what the price will be at the fair and afterwards here on the blog, but: if you already pre-ordered, or if you are coming to the fair as a blog-reader, I can still give you the old price. So make sure you mention this post if you come to buy my books at the fair Saturday! :-)

Oh and make sure you keep an eye on the fair-blog, because I sent in some stuff yesterday that Albo said he would put on it as soon as he had the time! :-)

Been working my *** off!! :-D

It has been quiet here for some time again, but this time it was NOT because I wasn't working on my comics. It was BECAUSE I was working on my comics so hard, I had no time to update! XD

But there is A LOT of good news! :)

I FINISHED THE BOOK!

The name is now officially:



I finished, uploaded and ordered 25 copies to/from LuLu.com om March 7th. I received them last week. 7 copies had misprints in them though, but LuLu is sending me new ones for those. The rest of the copies look AWESOME!

I set the price at 20 euro's (EDIT april 9th: the price is now 25 euro's) for people who buy through me. I have not made the book available through LuLu.com yet, because the minimum there would be 37,50 a copy... But I will make that available soon for people who do prefer to buy through LuLu.

I still have to figure out P&P but you can already pre-order the book with me, by sending an email to my gmail account, accountname: kipsla.
It will not send them out before April though, because I want to do the books first release at the KunstStripBeurs om March 31st.

So there is the next good news:


Hannah Kipje will be present at the KUNSTSTRIPBEURS during the Holland Animation Film Festival(HAFF) in Utrecht on March 31st (Janskerk, 10:00 - 17:00)




Everyone that comes to buy my new book at the KunstStripBeurs in person will get a copy of Sherlock Hobbes & Sidekick Mouse FOR FREE!! :-))))))
