Rotty Blog

Jan. 9 Day 9 is now underway, and we’re almost halfway there. Thanks again to everybody for supporting The Rots through this strenuous period. O.K. Strenuous for me, maybe not so much for you.

To catch up if you’re just finding this blog…The 19 Days of Edgar celebrates the 19 days in January leading up to Edgar Allan Poe‘s 202nd birthday by offering a different product every day at a discounted price. You can read the details here.

Today’s stuff: Posters

Horizontal Edgar and Chloe poster

Vertical Edgar and Chloe poster

Poster of just Chloe doing her Twitter thing

All of these posters will be offered through Zazzle at the lowest price they will allow me to for the next 24 hours. After that, the price reverts back to its undiscounted state, and tomorrow around this time I’ll post something new in the Edgar and Chloe store.

Jan. 8 Here’s your next batch of Edgar stuff to keep you occupied until his birthday on January 19.

Binders (1″, 1 1/2″ and 2″ deep)

Binders will be available for the lowest price that Zazzle will allow for the next 24 hours. Tomorrow evening around this time I’ll post something new to the Edgar and Chloe store, and these binders will revert to their regular prices.

And as if my family doesn’t rock enough, I actually received two (!) copies for Christmas! But those nice people at Steeles Publishing were great. They took back the extra copy even though it wasn’t within their return time frame (of seven days!).

So I guess it’s looking like Steeles Publishing rocks, too!

[Please check back in February to see what my replacement gift for the duplicate book turned out to be. Oh, yeah.]

I’ve managed to look through about half of the book so far, and it looks really, really sharp. I have to keep wiping the drool off the pages, but still. Lots of fold-outs of extra long pages when drawings come in a series that needs to stay together. Lots of sketches that weren’t meant to be seen by human eyes. Lots and lots of inspiration. And drool.

One tiny problem might be the black linen cover which will definitely get dirty from all the fondling and which will definitely be impossible to keep clean. I made a dust jacket for mine out of an old sheet of black drawing paper that I decided I’m never going to draw on.

I’m a nerd, I know. But I’m a happy, happy nerd with an awesome book with massive fold-outs and drool warming my drawing desk. I’ve learned to deal with it.

Jan. 6 Well, so far, so good. We’ve made it to day six, and everybody’s still insane. Celebrating Edgar Allan Poe’s 202nd birthday coming up on January 19, and each day there’s something new and on sale in The Rots’ Edgar and Chloe store.

Magnets will be available for the lowest price that Zazzle will allow for the next 24 hours. Tomorrow evening around this time I’ll post something new in the Edgar and Chloe store, and magnets will revert to their regular price.

Jan. 1 The first Edgar and Chloe product available for purchase to celebrate Edgar Allan Poe’s 202nd birthday is a 4¼” coaster with a cork backing and matte finish. The coaster is made of sandstone so the printing has that worn-in, antiquey kind of feel to it.
