Well as Heather predicted, I got my book today. It's very small but still not too bad considering how quickly they put it out. My main complaint (other than the unprofessionalism) was that only one painting (same one that was in the exhibit) per artist was in the book. A cross reference by artist name would have been nice too, I can't find anyone else I know other than Heather. This would have been REALLY nice if they'd included all 5 pieces, and judging from the size of the book it wouldn't have been unreasonable.

I'll post some pics unless Heather or Kimmy does first.

I know I said I wouldn't do it again, but now I think I would (assuming I get the originals back).

I should be in there too. It should be everyone from the show...at least that's what I thought. They chose my little painting "Zealot."

Can you check to see if it's in there?

Yep! Zealot is in there. Page 83. I wish there had been an index of artist names too. I'm on page 76, "Unatural".

Thanks for letting me know Kimmy.

The book wasn't in my budget, but it's good to know I'm in there.

Here are some photos - when I had taken them the only ones I could find were mine & Heathers, later on I found Noelle's, Windi's, Amanda's, Kimmy's, and Sara Molano's (another ebsqr but she has a different last name in the book).

As you can see it's really not worth the $20 but I got it because my work was in it. It's very thin & not too tall either (I put it next to the Diet Dr. Pepper bottle for scale.

Heather's frog is on the left page

My painting is on the right

Just a random page, I wish I'd found the other ebsqr's before taking the pics. Amanda if you'd like I can take a pic of your page fso you can see it.

based on the size of this small paper back book.. $20 to anyone else.. I think is high.. I paid it b/c I wanted to see my art in a book.. to anyone else.. I don't think many other people besides the artists would pay that much for a book this size. IMHO.. That said.. I do love having a book with my art and my friends art in it.. that is neat and made it worth it.. to me.

If any of that made sense

Yes that's how I feel too (I may not have conveyed it). Assuming I get my originals back safe & sound I'd definitely do it again (how's that for a 180 !)

also.. in my mind I visualized more of a "coffee table" book.. Not sure if it said anywhere what the size was when i paid for it.. but I am a skimmer so if they had said size of book.. i missed it. I had visions of this hard back big book sitting on my coffee table

.. maybe I can put this one on top of those! LOL It may get lost though?
