About this project
Thanks for looking folks. I am a eighteen year veteran of comics and I decided its time to celebrate that by putting together the end all be all of artbook collections. The working title is "CAPTAINS LOG: A CELEBRATION OF THE WORK OF ADAM TALLEY." This book will be in full color, over 200 pages long. It will feature early work, demos, sketches, newspaper articles, college work, paintings, thumbnails, process work (Thumbs to pencils, Inks, Coloring), new and old favorite pieces, the history of me and my work, personal photos from my archive, studio tour, a close look and commentary on my various comic book properties I have done throughout the years, a look at what is coming up for 2012 and beyond and much more!
I want this book to be a complete celebration of the hard work my fans and I have put into my journey through this great life of artworking and making comics come to life. I want to make the best book possible that represents me and my past for all time. This will be a book I will constantly have with me at every future appearance I do from this point forward. The funding I receive from the generous pledges will go to funding this book as well as promotion of the book. I hope to buy adspace on some indie friendly websites as well as pursue media relations to help promote the book.
The book itself is already in production. I have laid out at least one half of the book digitally and have organized and scanned all the old things that will be in the archive sections of the project. I have another month of work to do on it, as well as additional work added as a result of what comes with this fundraiser. I don't just want to release it via my website. Since this is a celebration of me as well as my supporters throughout the years, I figured doing this kickstarter and giving some nice rewards out with the sale would make it all the more special. I am lowballing the projected sales of this book hopefully and I hope to secure the funding by early September. The book itself will ship late October, just in time to toss in the kid's Halloween bags! (No don't do that. There will be a tad bit of nudity in the book!) It will be printed either through Comixpress or Lulu press.
Thank you for looking at my project. It means a lot to me, let me assure you. A celebration of 18+ years in the comics, but also a celebration and manifesto of my entire life. My soul will indeed be in this book. It is not simply a collection of art pieces. There will be writing blurbs from me about everything. I will take you on the journey of where we've been and where we are going from here. I thank you for your attention.
