    Aw Selby thanks so much! I just saw this reply now and realised you'd left one yesterday too. I hope you enjoy it! I'm currently thinking of ways to make a more interactive version for the iPad/iPhone.
    Cheers - that looks suspiciously like a new wee bairn you have in your hands.

    Hi Boxy, loving this painting.

    Have you sold any and have you self published or gone through a publisher? I see you have gone through blurb. Reason why I ask is, ive published my art book through lulu and fancied doing an illustrated book, but heard that booksellers wont take self published items. Cheers.

    Thanks Jules. Yes selling nicely - not that you'll see it on the best sellers list any time soon but I'm pleasantly surprised.
    It is self published at Blurb. I haven't really tried a publisher yet but if what you say is true - which wouldn't surprise me - then there's no point in wasting my time waiting for all those rejections!
    So far I tried a couple of agents, but quite honestly haven't been very impressed with their general attitude to prospectors. As I mentioned, I think I'm going to explore an iPad version. After all, Apple is probably as big a distributor as any publisher these days and less susceptible to the god complex thing.
    I'll check your Lulu book out.
    Cheers

    Apple has a god complex alright, but if you make an interactive app out of your book, they will give you a fair chance to sell your work on the app store. Which is more than you can say about most book sellers. I enjoyed your book, I bought it a while back. It'll be interesting to see what you can do with it in a more dynamic medium

    Btw, there are printing-on-demand services that issue ISBNs, including lulu. That'd at least let people *order* your book through their book seller or through amazon. But I guess if you have to advertise it yourself anyway, it won't make much of a difference.
