The horses are adorable, beautiful; The layout is really nice; however, web site probably should be websites' and since the three actions are written, the last & as an "and" would probably be better as an "and" like the other two are. I enjoy the Ad. I understand your need for help in promoting. Regardless of how outstanding the work is, it must be marketed or advertised, I too know this, from my son's and my novel and other works. Best wishes.

Comment from Lisa Davey


This is a very nice collection of images. I do enjoy this medium. The images are a little hard to see close up, on the website provided but from what I can see, they are well executed. I appreciate the full page compositions as opposed to the images that just float on the page. They look like old book plate etchings. Congrats on publishing this book!

A good looking image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of those pretty horse portraits. The text is also effective and attractive. Well created!

Comment from Ray Gordon


If you are looking to sell your art you have to show it big and proud on the advertisement and not two postage stamp size images. One big one image, you are selling the art work inside not the just the cover. Good luck Lucien, I hope this helps you. Ray

Comment from Chaxl


I feel thee same way, and love your idea. My problem would be I have over 600 photos currently on my website, I wouldn't know which ones would be book material and how many. As for your cover great color, and easy to read but looks professional. Great job.

    Chaxl,
    thank you, for you time and comments. even with that many I am sure you could find ones that show or have specific subjects, color schemes, etc.

    I hope you will go and look at the book and maybe even buy a copy.

Comment from bpellephoto


Well I had a good look at the different prints you offer in your book and I must say I am greatly impressed. Boldly presented images of so many different species - excellent.

What I did find to be a bit of a drag was I had to rotate the images in order to view them comfortably. Perhaps that is something you might consider.

Excellent original work offered in a fine coffee table presentation at a good price... Bob

    bpellephoto,

    thank you for your comments and for going to the site and looking at the book.
    the idea for the way that specific piece are presented, was to add variety to the lay out and get the person looking to become more engaged with the artwork.

    thank you again,
    I hope you will consider purchasing a copy.
    Cheers,
    Lucien

Comment from MKFlood


very cool Penmaster! the ad is spaced and clean appearing. the font is great. the sample artwork in the middle is great. nice haze background with the middle lighting up that does assist the POV. the one thing that im shocked about is why didnt you put the link in your artist notes as well? you displayed it in your poster but not everyone will write it down. the folks today are kinda lazy if they cant click it right then maybe they might write it down to do a search. just curious. still this presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. creative approach and great job overall.

Comment from suffolkbrian


Not quite sure Lucien this was the best way to encourage people to view your work the drawings of the horses are small in this and wording is not clear,do find why you would advertize work by doing this is slightly bizarre...Brian

    your welcome again just needs to be clearer thats all
Comment from Charlotte Morse


....I'd just written a very long review, with various suggestions on improving your ad, and it suddenly just disappeared! Ugh!
Basically it was to use a drawing at 50% opacity as the background instead of the blue, to give an idea of your work to the viewer (the 2 horses are too small to see properly).
With the wording
A Coffee Table Book
From a Single Dot - a book of stipple artwork. The My needs to go (too egotistical).
And the photo needs to be clearer as some parts are illegible - with a link in the notes.
Sorry I said it all in a much nicer way the first time around, but couldn't face writing it all again!
Charlotte

    Charlotte,

    The title as seen, was suggested by the editor.
    I will take you suggestions under advisement when I create the next ad for the book.
    Thank you.

    You?re welcome - but do bear in mind that an editor will be good with words, but might not always have an artistic eye :)

    Charlotte,
    good morning. I took some of your advice and created a 2nd edition of the book,
    when you get a minute please let me know what you think?
    thank you
