Depending on the cost of the CD collections I would be very interested in
them.

Subject: [SkunkworksAMA] Your input on the CD collections?
Hey folks-
I've been working on the first volume of what will eventually be a trilogy
of sorts. There will be three different CDs featuring the various folios,
prints, and other artwork I've done over the years. I am currently working
on the first CD, which will feature all the "Skunkworks" folios.
I have the CDs set up like a web page. After the main page, there is a page
listing all the contents, and it displays little thumbnails for each
individual directory (ie, the thumbnail of the Skunkworks 1 cover would lead
to the Skunkworks 1 page). Each linked page features thumbnails of all the
images in that particular folio. I'm also adding information about the
folio, such as the subtitle, the release date, some background information,
and any unknown "fun factoids" I could think of for the folio in question.
The images are scanned in at 150 dpi, so some of them are a little large. I
also touched up several pages which had blemishes on them.
Thus far, there will be 116 images just from the portfolios. By my
estimation, I'll probably have about 50 more "extras", including sketches,
commissions, comic covers, rare or unpublished pictures, etc.. I'm NOT going
to pull that shit where the CD has 500 images, but it's really just 10
pictures, each in 8 different formats, including wallpaper sizes and B&W
versions. That's a fucking rip right there, and I'm not going to do that to
people. Too many other artists pull that crap and they ought to be ashamed.
So, does this sound good? Is the "background info" something you'd be
interested in reading about for each folio? Are 150+ distinct images good
for one CD? Anything else you can think of that might be of interest? Let me
know, man.
Drop your two cents here on the group when you get the chance. I'm planning
to have these CDs ready by the end of the month.
