Sorry to bore but... well... Tapestry's troubled upbringing continues apace with cover problems causing issues all over again. This is the newly redone one which astounded me by having a very small gamut issue (the difference between an rgb monitor and a cmyk printer) when I thought it would have a million problems. Still going to be the very beginning of next year although we're hoping to have a limited number ready for Christmas. By all means get in touch if you want to buy a copy. The bizarre thing is that if you had a copy from the Guildford Book Fest and a copy from this printing (and one from the final shelf version) you'd have something oddly rare and unusual which doesn't make the issues and roadbumps any smoother for me, just makes me smile that, in more than one way at least, my mums going to be one in a million :) Artwork all done in Pixelmator which I retain a huge love and affection for, even though it struggled badly doing the cover at the print res it had to be outputted at. Lots of frustrated waitings about and teeth clenching but, for what it is and what it delivered, still like it loads. Similarly, well, with less issues to be frank, the Brushes 2.1 update is due to hit the apple store anytime now. It's a corker and no mistaking well worth a look-see. I've become wedded to the app and my iPod touch and it is my favourite art application of all. In other news: birthday yesterday and, apart from the fact I was working on this cover for 12 hours straight, it was a lovely one filled with friends, family, food and facebook comments :) Onwards, although slightly blearily....
