BIP 2013 Production Photos

I have to say, holding this hefty stack of finished pages feels kind of good. We're not in the clear yet, but man, actual tangible progress feels nice.

Looks awesome guys.

Ok, so things are basically at a total stand still until we get some cover art. I can't do the legal/attribution page without cover art to attribute to an artist. The only thing I can work on is a table of contents, but that's such a quick thing it's almost irrelevant.

I understand that Nigel has someone in mind, but at this point, if anyone has original artwork, no matter how obliquely or tangentially related to BIP2013, please post/link it. Please! I want this to be done so bad, and we are practically ONE PICTURE AWAY.

I have nudged my friend.

I have nudged my friend.

Ok, cool. I did come up with a cover concept that's within (I think) my capabilities to construct that would be a good 'plan b' if all else fails.

Do you have a list of contributors? If all else fails, I can just groupWOMP everyone.

I could always ask EFO to draw something. Or LO.

Here. Not sure if all contributors have photos available.

Why not? Might as well. It's better to have more to select from, and even if any given piece isn't used as the cover, it can be included within the text so it won't end up a waste of time for anyone.

I'll ask both of them, that should be good.

Good news update!

The final piece of content has been completed (My 'Editors Notes.' I'd post a pic, but I'd just as soon spend that time working on other stuff).

What's left? I need to finalize the order. This is mainly a mathematical task, I just need to group titles with an odd number of pages together to fit  the two page spread.

Table of contents. Nice and easy once the order has been finalized.

Legal mumbo-jumbo. Just figuring a time/place to meet with my 'legal team.'

Title page. Pretty much requires the above to be in place. Once it's done, this will be no prob, bob.

Covers. I'm waiting to do these last. I want to make sure that anyone who plans on submitting something has the maximum time to get it done. If a cover hasn't been selected by the time the above bits are done, I'm moving to a plan B, which I actually have. Go figure.

Thanks for a;; the support/feedback. It's taken a loooooong ass time, but the end is in  sight. Woot!

I asked Ludwig and she says that she is going to work on cover art TONIGHT.

I really hope she does. Her art is amazing.

Can't wait to see the finished result!

Cool beans. I'm meeting with my legal guy on Monday, which means that, functionally, a week from then would be the 'deadline.'

Aside: post production is boooring.

Ok, so my legal guy failed me.

I would really like to have this thing finished before school starts back up.

Somebody who has any idea how to, please write a damn legal statement.

Please.
