Illustrations by ironicbees for 'Jeeves and the Artistic Verisimilitude'

[purplefluffycat.livejournal.com]

What Ho Everyone!

A fair while ago, I wrote a Jeeves/Bertie story called Jeeves and the Artistic Verisimilitude. I always fancied having a hard copy of it to put on my bookshelf, as it were, so when I came across lulu.com, that seemed a pretty convenient way to print off a single copy and have it nicely bound...

However, much more excitingly(!) the extremely talented ironicbees agreed to an author-illustrator collaboration for the book. She has produced the most beautiful pieces of art to go with the story, so I urge you to run (don't walk!) to view them in her gallery, here.

Pictures of the finished hard-copy book can be found below the cut...









Toodlepip!

It looks so perfect!

[reginaldrobot.livejournal.com]

That is brilliant! gorgeous illustrations by ironicbees, I remember really liking Jeeves and the Artistic Verisimilitude, it's kind of a classic of the fandom.

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

Holy moly, what beautiful illustrations for a beautiful story! Ohhhhhhh! I would not say no to a copy if they are available for purchase. :3

[dreamwaffles.livejournal.com]

I'm...nthing the "oh my god, that is so beautiful, can I have one plz? :D" comment.

This is gorgeous. And...and I want one so very much. Are any for sale? -puppy eyes- We could...have a charity drive or something if you feel weird about accepting money? Or we could just give you money, I'd be glad to!

[batneko.livejournal.com]

That's AMAZINGLY AWESOME.

[storyfan.livejournal.com]

That is so wonderful. The book looks terrific (and the story inside is magnificent) and the illustrations are lovely and heart-breakingly sweet. Just a good show all the way around.

I remember in the late nineties seeing a gorgeous hard-back bound SWars:TPM fanzine filled with exquisite art (from a German fan, I believe). This definitely is another beautiful example. The illustrations are just amazing, as is the whole design.

[morgandawn.livejournal.com]

I have two of these. They are part of the Living Force series and they're now online.

Thanks so much for the 411! It was #2 I saw at ZebraCon one year; I remember the blue cover. Suzan had bought a copy for the art and I was perusing hers. Sadly, it kind of loses something in the transition to online publishing. There was just something about the weight and visual impact of an actual book in one's hand, and these were so exquisitely done.

[sige-vic.livejournal.com]

It's absolutely bloody brilliant!!!
I love your story very much, and these illustrations are just gorgeous!

[sige-vic.livejournal.com]

P.S. I especially adore the one with Bertie watching dirty pictures, the one with a duck and the last one, where they look at each other with so much love in their eyes, awwww! But they all are brilliant, really :-)

My mind is no longer functioning.

[drunken-kurage.livejournal.com]

It looks great and the illustrations are beautiful. My shelf wants this and I completely agree with it.

[mxdp.livejournal.com]

What, WHY??? WHY DID YOU NOT TELL US. I WANT IT. And I've looked at the prices and especially those mini-books cost like, NOTHING. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE :c

PS: If you order some (please!) I'm leaving for 2 weeks on holiday somewhere in nowhere where there are no computers. BUT I WANTS IT. Remember meeee...

*and I want other people to do this too :c* Gosh, I do not wish to go on holiday anymore.

[rose-gialle.livejournal.com]

Brilliant. What a wonderful collaboration, and something for you to treasure forever. ♥♥♥

And quite obviously, it would appear your reading & viewing audience would love to join you in treasuring a copy for themselves.

Count me in if extra prints are a viable option! :-D

[firtavain.livejournal.com]

How can I order one? You must tell me, please. It looks so fantastic. And your story is worthy of having its own book.

[charie-caphine.livejournal.com]

Dreaming of a library filled with hardcover J&W canon and fanon as illustrated by ironicbees, - what you've got here is a piece of a better world.

[araminya.livejournal.com]

How much?




Btw, I somehow managed to omit the "non-" before the word "professional". It made more sense that way.

Wow

[wombor.livejournal.com]

I would LOVE a copy and would willingly fork over the bucks. What do we have to do???? Wow.

[woe-in-a-hoodie.livejournal.com]

This... I... just... *melty* SO AWESOME. This is the best post to wake up to ever.

(Also: shipping your duckies off today!)

[toodlepipsigner.livejournal.com]

This was already one of my favorite Jooster fics. EVER.
The illustrations are nothing short of absolutely beautiful; the shading and detail is impeccable. I know you must get sick of hearing this, but that won't stop me from agreeing that I would, in all seriousness, love to have a copy.

[angelofmadness7.livejournal.com]

My god...everything about this is pure AWESOME <333

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to join the long queue of wanting a copy :3

[chibi-wolvie.livejournal.com]

*her eyes fell out of her face* Thats... GREAT, AMAZING, ADORABLE!!
I want a copy !!

But... I'm from germany and I dunno how to pay it... ?

[sweet-fallacy.livejournal.com]

*looks at the above comments* Oh dear. What madness have you started?

[thedarkevilone.livejournal.com]

Would I like a copy? Oh, rather! This is a work which has filled we with many warm, fuzzy feelings. Though whether or not I'll be able to shell out remains to seen... But who cares, really?

[cerublu02.livejournal.com]

I have no words. that is so freakin' awesome! *grabby hands*

[emeraldreeve.livejournal.com]

Wow! Awesome art! Very beautiful book and art!

[feanix.livejournal.com]

This is brilliant...A fantastic idea indeed.

I must have one...I think we all must have one, lol.

[niektete.livejournal.com]

Can one... ORDER ONE'S OWN BOOKS PRINTED??? OMG! I am so doing that! Multiple times! What genius!!!

[georgeodowd.livejournal.com]

Crikey, this fandom is filled amazingly talented people, and this is the proof-filled pudding, if ever there were such a thing. Amazing, simply amazing.
