Just got it back from being proofread got to fix some commas and stuff, then I'm going to send it off to publishers/agents, would definatly appreciate the views of some of you all. Unfortunatly to print off books on their own cost about £10 so they're a bit pricy, but if you're interested then PM.
Reminds me of Stanley Donwood's stuff:
http://shop.slowlydownward.com/FleetStreetStore/
Fleet Street Apocalypse was cut into linoleum by Stanley Donwood during January and February 2008. It was printed on 4th March, 23rd July and 3rd September 2008 by Stanley Donwood and Richard Lawrence at St Bride's Institute, Bride Lane, Fleet Street, London, with assistance from Kim Vousden.
The printing press used was made in 1844 in Finsbury, London by Hopkinson & Cope. The paper is acid-free archival quality Somerset White 300gsm satin, with a deckle edge on all sides, and is made at St Cuthbert's Mill, Wells, Somerset; the ink used is Cranfield Letterpress black.
The print area is 25" x 38" (640mm x 970mm approx), and the paper size is 30" x 44" (760mm x 1120mm approx).
Due to the large size of this linocut we had to think laterally when it came to working out how to print it. The picture was made up of two sections of linoleum, each cut separately and designed to fit on the platen of the Hopkinson & Cope press. The process we developed involved wrapping sections of the oily press with paper, rolling half of the large sheets of paper within a protective sheet and then printing the unrolled half. When the edition was done, we then repeated this process with the other section of lino. Registration of the two halves of the print was acheived with the archaic technique of making pinholes in the sheets during the first printing then lining up the pinholes for the second.
This process means that each print, though part of an edition, is unique.

oh cool, looks like from that Tom Yorke album, the eraser. Linocuts are the future. A post apocalyptic nu-medieval future but one nethertheless.

dubson,
supposedly 7 megapixles is equal to film, but i hate pixels
nothing compares to the life that grain brings whether coarse or so fine you cant see any
i have a pocket digi for day to day documentary but use film for anything i want to care about. i got real into pinhole cameras and polaroid film but polaroid stopped 4x5 production.
35mm film is still way realer than any digital camera and can be developed anywhere

nice newnesss people. lovoing all those as usual jiba.
few new bits from me.
^this (bottom one) is part of a 'series' of images with the same dimensions im 'working' on....s'alllllll about evolution and conciousness adaptaion/creation/destruction etc etc but thats when they're all together---it will make alot more sense when they're seen in sequence but the order is still subject to change...once i know the order ill get em printed and show em as 1 piece...theres likely to be about 6 or 7 vertically.
probably wont get round to it but it might happen.
