it’s thing after another thing. this isn’t even that much of an issue and i still want to chew my own head off, for fuck’s sake.

Hi, is the freshwater fish poster really $68? I'm not sure what goes into the process or anything, it just felt like maybe a mis-type compared to the pricing of some of your other items.

It is yes! The poster version, it's printed on archival fine art paper and its large format. I had requests for a larger size over the years so thought it test one out after the folks at pigeon printhouse reached out to me!

I know large art pieces like that aren't affordable so I do also have the smaller size prints!

Hopefully down the line i'll find a happy medium for more affordable large format prints :-)

hi! i just found your blog through your riso zine, i really love it! i was wondering what your process was for printing smooth gradients? i'm kind of struggling with that right now ;;

thank you :3

to be honest i didn't handle any of the printing so i don't know, sorry :( i collaborated with someone who runs a small riso printhouse, so i created the pages digitally just the same as all my art, and she then set up the files to print in specific ink colors (in this case, blue + red + black)

hope you can find the info you need!

Hi! I bought one of your amazing comics some time ago. If I may ask: where did you print them? 🙏💗

It depends on the comic, but I print most of my books with a Spanish printhouse called Printcolor.

SM really can't work properly

It's unfortunate, but I don't side with the complaint this time. Lin should know better, Doyoung fans look up to her.

Noone wanted to slight Doyoung intentionally. It was toughtless from the layout designer/the team responsible for the albums, but it's a very very common mistake. It probably arose from the designer not knowing the kind of binding that would be used for that particular album version. A spread (2 page illustration/photo) is perfectly fully visible in magazine type of binding, for example.

I think there was a similar case with Taeyong's face on a group picture in the past.

Yes, in a perfect world the binding would be taken into consideration, a test copy printed for a final check of colour and mistakes, the group photo sized down for Do's face to not fall onto the seam or excluded altogether. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world, and the communication between an editorial team and a printing company is always bad.

You imagine SM as one being with one head. In reality it is a complex of hundreds of chains of command and projects ran simultaneously. People are overworked and become unattentive, deadlines press into making shortcuts, subcontractors delay delegated to them jobs, things fall apart here and there. Those albums are probably printed in China, then they need to be completed with pocas and CDs, which, perhaps, happens in Korea. Afterwards those albums need to be sent to the shops. And maybe the copyright team prepares the info about songs and authors with a delay, and thus the layout is completed last minute, and then there is no time for a test copy. Or the machines that print one binding versions are occupied with a big order, and the printhouse offers an alternative, and SM's side has to change all the plans, which results in 2-page illustrations becoming an issue.

I do not like that SM can't sort out their album problem. They get better, than they fail again. And they will probably continue to fail again and again, because they are not a publishing company, they have young layout designers that are still gaining experience (we saw those girls in tours of Kwangya), and the company always finishes everything last minute due to fast-paced factory production. However, I also don't have it in me to hate the company for that.

Fans should point out the issue to SM in a calm customer review manner. It might be corrected with additional print. Not oh and ah among themselves, persuading each other how SM hates Doyoung a 100th time.

It's just one picture out of hundreds. Relax.

I want us all to be very, very clear that this problem with back cover summaries is caused once again by pressure and lack of support from publishing houses against new authors

Using the word "blurb" here is so willfully misleading as to verge on inflammatory. It is the use of a nonspecific umbrella term to refer to back cover summaries in a way that also literally includes review quotes, taglines, synopses, and flavour text. This is blatantly an attempt to incite fights with people over "Just read summaries instead of taglines and synopses/I said summaries you didn't even read my post." Come the fuck on. Make your bait at least a little worth switching.

With that all in mind: yes this is a real problem, where back cover summaries, one type of blurb defined by being a one or several paragraphs that explain the setup of the plot, are being replaced with taglines, another, extremely different blurb that serves almost the exact opposite function of capturing the experience of completing the read.

Now, let's ask ourselves the actual useful questions are instead of getting caught up in ego jerking about which type of blurb is better.

Why in the actual goddamned fuck are summaries being replaced with taglines in the first place, when no one fucking wanted that?

Who. Wanted. That?

The answer, once again, just like always, is profit driven publishing houses decaying under post-colonial capitalism.

Why did they want that?

It's literally just cheaper to market because it's easier to SEO. That's it.

Publishing houses didn't want to spend the money to improve their quality of product, to foster new beds of talent, to support the local level distributors they relied on for generations, or anything that would cost real money. No matter the dividends in the long term, they need money now.

You know what's cheap? I mean really, really cheap? Free, in fact?

Giving the author an absurd demand: make your book as marketable as possible on social media, make it viral, do all your own promotional work with no training and no assistance, certainly no editors or marketers. And then, they say, then maybe we'll help out by publishing you and paying a contractor a subminimum wage to SEO your blurbs, maybe toss in an AI generated summary too.

Turning the slush pit into a bonfire of taglines and viral phrases, and then raking up the hottest coals.

Anyway, the way you market yourself by yourself in situation is with short phrases because holy shit what an obscene demand to put on anyone who doesn't have a marketing degree. So that's where this problem nominally comes from.

But once again the fucking villains are publishers refusing to do the actual work of publishing a fucking book. They're glorified fucking printhouses that don't even pay their authors properly let alone anyone the fuck else.
