The Alphabet: Prints Now Available!

2011 February 23

One of the things that I think makes this blog a little bit special, if I say it myself, is our illustrators, the most prolific of whom so far are Markgraf and Hodge.

Regular readers’ll have noticed we’re nearing the end of the Alphabet series – and we’ve had interest from folk asking whether we plan to release any prints.

So here it is, guys: the Alphabet print shop page.

Hodge has taken some nice photos of the prints, which you can see if you click through. This is not one of them.

We hope you like them.1 I do, anyway.2

  1. Why yes, it IS quite a badass teacup. But stop looking at the teacup! It, and my face, are there merely as a SIZE COMPARATOR. For as you see our prints are dinky-charming. []
  2. That is not Hodge up there. That is me. Why isn’t it Hodge? Why am I hogging the limelight? Well, Hodge is a MYSTERIOUS ENIGMA. Also, she was out. And I was feeling overexcited and drinking tea NEXT TO THE T. Yeah! … so. Yes. Back to the editing tower. []

    Lovely!

    Did Hodge do the artwork? I’ve been wondering about the identity of the talented artist.

    And are all of the prints signed by Hodge?

      Yes indeed; the artwork is all Hodge’s own and will be signed on the reverse.

      Oooh, postage combining. That’s a very good point; our PayPal buttons haven’t got that built in, I don’t think! Hodge and I had better have a chat and work out how we can cater for people who’d like more than one, as I think the PayPal button does them all as single purchases and adds postage on for each one! Stay tuned…

        Lexicographer and artist. Is there no limit to Hodge’s awesomeness?

    If I buy more than one, is there any way to combine the postage?

    Were it available, I’d buy the P. It’s my initial, and I’m the kind of human who likes cats.

      I’m sure we can work something out for you. I’ll drop you an email after Hodge and I have had a chat tonight…

    My prints arrived this morning, and I can assure the print-buying public that they (the prints, not the print-buying public) are very lovely. (Although some of the print-buying public may also be very lovely, of course.) Hodge sent them very quickly, and — were she trading on Ebay or Amazon — I’d describe her as a “recommended seller” (as well as an excellent artist). The illustrations look even better in print form than they do on the computer screen. Anyone who can who spare the very modest price of a print should buy one — you know it makes sense!

    Oh — and, if anybody wishes to buy just one print — my recommendation is for the Jade. I’m not sure why, but there’s something doubly wonderful about that picture.

    Stimulated by having Hodge’s wonderful Amazon on my wall, I’ve posted another comment here:
