    im using mixam for the first time, I've made a biography/photobook on a specific music artist for my final university project. I'm constantly checking the website trying to make sure every little thing is correct and making sure there won't be a single problem and its stressful af but I know I'll be very happy if I end up with a very nice quality hardcover in the end. Fingers crossed
    Update: the books came! And they look brillaint! Very good service!

    woaaah😫😫💓💓 i would definitely love to make an artbook, even just one, for myself, for my kids if i ever have, or even my grandkids. But they are just so expensive... Im from spain and here in europe printing is even pricier and way "worse" than the experiences that you get in the US. I think mainly because a huge ton of editorials, comic studios, independent artists and illustrators just live or work there, overseas. I have the feeling that even online 'shops', as the one you showed, wouldn't ship to Spain...
    But I won't let it demotivate me. I just hope things change in a future, and printing in artist quality can become more accesible for all of us!
    Best regards!

    Wow, you honestly did just an incredible job. You made it look too easy lol but watching your whole process was a beautiful one. I feel like I lack the skills & resources to get it done exactly like this but you’ve inspired me to maybe do my own zine. I could always work myself up to something like this. The book looks so amazing. Hopefully I’m able to snag one up before they maybe sell out again.

      I'm doing a art book through blurb. I am not a digital artist, but I have old sketches and drawings. I want to cram in a book besides my art book. I published a poetry book through blurb as well. Only through blurb. I sell for $12 make $6.
