Ink Trails Tattoo Forum: Ink-trails Sketchbook Pre-order Question - Ink Trails Tattoo Forum

... alright so i looked up prices for this and most places have a min of about 500 books at $2,000 and i just dont have $2000 and i just dont have that .. so my mother owns a company and they go thru staples for thier stuff .. so i got a quote on the following

40 books

the book @ 30 pages
front cover and back cover 100 lb paper full color
all other pages 80lb paper black n white ...

spiral bound

he qouted me at about $8 per book

im expecting more than 30 pages so im going to say $10 per book, so i need to check what my paypal fees are going to be because im going to need to upgrade my account and all this so lets say these will go for about $15 per book plus shipping not bad from what i thought it was going to be

again this is no final price but i wanna see who all is intrested so i know about how many books i wanna get orderd ...

so if your up to pay lets say $20 including shipping inside the US and im assumeing like $25 outside who would be picking 1 of these up?

me :-)

Poo...

$25 shipped outside the US sounds good to me. I do like a good sketch book!

(Fine with the price though )

Eye.

All other pages in black and white does suck a bit, although probably more so for others than me, so I'm not crying about it. I do understand though....$$$$$$$

I'm down.

There's not many sketchbooks out there, from what i can think of, that have colour in.

Certainly none of the one's in the shop i work at have.

I'll order one.

Mark me up.

put me down for one

yeah amy ... if we really want some color i can try n see what he says i just thought $25 a book would kinda be peoples limit so i dont wanna make it too much more

I'll support the cause +1

That's what I thought when I heard all the talk about colour, only really the big expensive production numbers, like Boog-From The Streets. The nature of a sketchbook is that generally it's initial sketches, rather than finished artworks and so naturally that often means just monochrome, not even through economic necessity but just thru what it's representing.

Not trying to sway the vote, but my design doesn't even mean you need a colour cover, thus bringing costs down even further. I had this in mind when I conceived it, as well as the fact that it suited the style .

I kinda knew about the black and white thing too, but was just kinda hopefully keeping my fingers crossed for colour, coz it's pretty The ridiculous bright pink and green design I just did will probably be less of an eyesore now anyway haha.

So front and back both full colour - what's gonna go on the back? The runner up maybe? Will it be both sides of the front and back page that can have colour images on?

count me in !

well this is what im thinking about that i want front cover to be the winne of course then inside the front cover i would most likley have the runner up taking half the page and the other half an intro type thing ... and for the back cover im liking barnstormers as an outro to the book as the book itself is now leaving room for people to expand and create with these designs and move into tattoos as shown in his illistration so i see his as a outro IF HE DOSE NOT WIN OF COURSE

... those were just my thoughts ...

anymore? this dose mean ur obligated to buy the book i just want a general idea of how many would b intrsted so i can order accordingly ...

also

JD i know u were really looking for this i had a convo with chikken today and she assured me she wants to put some stuff together for this aswell so u will see some of her stuff in thier aswell

Count me in
