Printing the Artbook


Two days ago, I went together with the publisher of my artbook to the printer to monitor the process of printing.  After some minor adjustments in color, the first 1000 copies of the book were printed out. It was a fantastic experience to be there and to see how the pages from my first monograph are being produced in a rapid pace by that huge metal beast, which we call the printing press! It was a memorable moment!
The first 1000 copies of the book will be delivered to the publisher by August 13th. In case you already want to order the book, please go to Dark Dragon Books.  The webshop page is still in Dutch, but it will soon be changed into English, I was told by the publisher.

Here are a few photo’s to give you the impression of the printing session.
 





APPROVED!

  3. This is so cool, i've never seen a printing press before and I've always been curious about the process. Are there any plans for the book to become available on amazon? Shipping from the Netherlands to the US costs... a very depressing amount. Either way though, I will own this book.

    1. Hi Daniel,

      The Publisher is now selling the book worldwide. Please check it out on their website

      Since you are from the US, your total price, including the shipment cost, would be 46,95 Euro, which is a little more than 60 US Dollars.

      To be honest, I really don’t know if, or when, the book will become available on Amazon.
