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!! :-))))))
