more behind the scenes! MORE FREETALKS!! The cover actually gave me a lot of grief but I'm glad that nobody was grossly against the end product !!! Somehow the colors were screwed up after I went from RGB to CMYK and I was really disturbed!! The concept that koyar came up with was so cool that I really wanted it to look similar to how she roughed it out! I actually went through a lot of versions and saved a lot of files before settling on the above cover (since Saico was ok with it, and the only one that replied that morning right before I had to run to drop the file off at the printers). Speaking of printers, I was really afraid of what the people at the printing place were going to say when they took a look at my files, haha. I was also printing more Pride in Chest covers... and printing those last time earned us weird looks.... (understandably so)
Funny story about how Ogatabook came to life. Last year Saicoink came to visit me/koyar and we ended up doodling ogata comics and buttons. Then we sort of said "Oh one day we should make an Ogata book some day, that would be so wonderful". Similarly to Pride in Chest, I wasn't exactly thinking that it would come to life, BUT IT DID, AND I AM SO GLAD IT DID! This book is so great and cracked out and awesome and wonderful and sexy and outstandingly original... DOT DOT DOT DOT!!
The old Go Crackers crew reunited for this book, and this time we also have the extremely talented and wonderful Dee joining us in our Ogata adventures! I am/was very proud +happy to be able to work with such a talented group - SSSLOOWWBOOAT!! They put up with all the ridiculous Ogata-ness and our cracked out ideas! I can't help but to be extremely BOASTFUL about this book! Even the printer people in BC commented on how LOVELY our books were!
