Steve Mack’s Alphabet Book

Steve Mack Alphabet Book

Speaking of letters, previously mentioned illustrator Steve Mack started up an experiment on his blog, SPOT!, by creating his own project: an alphabet book. Since he’s never been given the opportunity to illustrate one, he decided to do one on his own. At the end of 26 weeks (he’s at the letter “T” currently), he’ll use Lulu to publish it for those who want an actual physical copy for themselves (my kids would dig one). He mentions that it’s “much like when an indie music band releases a whole album online; I am trying to see if people will buy the real world deal after getting appetites wetted by giving it all away free online.” So far it’s brought him great attention from publishers hiring him for other projects.

By the way, he does have a book available featuring his fabulous art titled “Jurassic Poop.” Something for the kiddies. And Jared.

    Love Steve’s simplified geometric shapes and great color sense…

    Looking forward to enjoy more of his art now.

    Great style and flavour. Lulu seems like a great service, planning on using it too. Anybody see their colour work? The B+W print is tad patchy

    I was going to ask the same thing bob! Can anyone recommend Lulu for a colour illustration book?

    I can’t believe that Steve’s work is entirely illustrator based, the hand printed finnish looks great!

    I mentioned it in the post: once Steve has finished posting all the letters online to his blog, he’ll use Lulu to get it printed up. Just check back here soon. I’ll do an update.
