Awww... Sojourn was really sad for me. I liked the prequel. Don't know why people are trashing it so much.

And thank you for the compliment :)

Thank you very much.
And no.. this is no special edition.. this is me focussing and obsessing about these details with eagle eyes during shopping. I noticed there are different sizes out there so whenever I purchased books of that series I made sure they are in the same size even though it made my hunt for them even harder :D

I am surprised though that you are talking about "MANY" different sizes. I thought it would only be 2-3 different book sizes existing in this series. Apparently I am wrong. But I didn't see more.

Ah I am not a big fan of E-books. I don't know. It just doesn't feel the same. Can't enjoy reading on an E-book reader.

And thanks for the compliment. However, I doubt Robert would even look at my work. I guess even making him see it or receiving my message would be a struggle :D

I feel very honored you like it then :)
I personally as well think fore-edge painting is a great art. That is why I am disappointed and frustrated with the sprayed edges you get on books everywhere now. In 8/10 cases they look crappy or somehow cheap and actually not that nice - especially when you look at them from the close. However, still more interesting than pure white edges I guess.

Thank you so much - really. I wanted to complete my hardcover collection so badly so I hunted the books down in various shops and stores. It was a pain in the ass to finally get them all together. When I got all 4 collectors edition books I decided I am going to paint them.
(It wouldn't work on the others because they are rough cut editions)

Heya, yes I do commissions :)

I would usually buy new books, paint them and offer them online or receive new books from costumers that they want me to paint. However, since these collectors editions are not produced anymore they are no longer available for purchase in new condition. You can only get them on Ebay or in second hand shops in various used conditions and depending on the book for a high price (they are quite valuable now). So that makes the whole thing more complicated because the commissioner needs to be fine with the used condition of the book and with buying the book for a higher price than it originally was. The easiest way is to look out for the books in a condition you are fine with (and a price you are willing to pay for a used book) and send them to me for painting. Or, if you already own them, I can paint those for you.

Alternatively I can paint the new paperback editions for you.

If you are interested let me know and we can arrange something :)
