Books featuring my art at Blurb.com
Three expanded and revamped self-published fine art books featuring my art work are now available at Blurb.com Titles “Black Butterfly” “White Album” & “Deep Heart’s Core” correlate with my three most recent series of works. The books are 40 pages each, can be ordered in three formats, softcover, hardcover (image wrap) or hard cover (dust jacket). You can also choose premium paper if you wish.
I’m very pleased with the software and printing quality of this site. My co-op gallery used Blurb for our group exhibition catalog, and I’m using the books to include in my portfolio for gallery submissions. Lots of great ideas are to be found in the “just published” section of the site.
Own an entire series of my work for a song! :) Or, create your own master collection.
Have fun! ~ Alice

This is really cool! I’m going to have to remember this site for later! :)
I especially love how you’ve set up Black Butterfly with the different poems and you’ve added some lyrics to The White Album. Very nicely done!

Thanks for taking a look Lynsye. The previews are pretty short, there are 25 more pages in each book. The site isn’t particularly cheap, and I didn’t mark the books up much. It won’t make me rich, but they are kind of nice to give as gifts to clients, etc.

i hope this stays up long enough for me to get a good look at these collections, Alice. Peace

Well, I purchased copies for myself, so they are on the site’s “store” to stay. I think they make a nice portable portfolio with a professional edge. Thanks Doug!

Aw, so nice of you to say Ronald. It’s a fun site. I think everyone deserves to splurge on a little personalized book showcasing their creative works. If you sell a couple of copies besides, weee! :)

Thanks Jean, but I really published more for personal reasons. I have a few friends who are interested, so that’s cool! :) xx

Alice, I have had a look at your books on Blurb, and they are really great! What a terrific idea to compile a professionally finished book of your work. As you say, great as an example of your art, to show prospective galleries, clients. Well done!!!

Wow, how very cool! I still feel SOOOO lucky to have seen your work in person! We’re still trying to figure out where to hang the ‘butterfly’.....it’s in the bedroom now, but I think it should be out where everyone can see it!
Alice McMahon ... replied
I’m so glad we met! It felt like we’d known each other for years, didn’t it? :) I must find the perfect spot for Doug’s gorgeous glass piece as well. Thanks for having a look Linda!

Yep, I thought so, too! Seems like I could just call you up and go to lunch any ol’ day! Of course, I could tell that right from the first time I ‘bubbled’ you! Have a great week, Alice! Wish we could’ve stayed longer.
