Zig's F&Gs

Yoohoo!  F+G's came today!  (Folded & Gathered.)  Zig looks very good.  I feel great.  Also, in the package, the Penguin catalog for January to April 2015.  Zig will be out in March.  Still over 6 months to go!

ZIG's First Proofs!

Package of first proofs arrived.  YEAH!!!  Things are moving fast.  I am very happy with the proofs.  The colors are beautiful and so true to my originals.  

Following Amy Biancolli's advice:  Celebrate every little thing.  So B and I ate at the Gastropub last night.  YUM!  

Second Proofs

a detail from The Very Tiny Baby

Second proofs arrived today!  I LOVE THEM!!!  Thank you, Susan Sherman, Art Director extraordinaire.  Sure, the background colors do not match the originals exactly but what matters to me is the harmony and what arrived today looks good. 

first proofs for TINY BABY

 

The first proofs for TINY BABY have arrived.  They are not great.  I do hope there will be improvement in the next set.  The background colors are too pale and 2 very different colors are coming out the same.  Which ruins the careful repartition of backgrounds all through the book. 

Still it is exciting!
