Personalized Comic Book Guest Book

Leeann, on January 16, 2017 at 8:27 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 11

I was thinking of having for a guest book a "comic book" that told the story of me and my FH--early dates, proposal, etc. Anyone ever do this? Where would I find an artist to create this and does anyone have any ballpark ideas on how much something like this typically costs? I've already checked Etsy and it wasn't helpful. I'll also check our local comic shop, but I wanted to get some advice first.

    Check out your local convention. They normally have a huge area for local artists

    This is an awesome idea!! I'd search for local print shops that have graphic designers who will do custom work!

    Megabarkerr on instagram may be able to help you. She's someone I've met before and she just finished illustrating a children's book last year.

    This sounds like a pretty cool idea. Google local graphic design artist in your area, or if there's a design school around.

    I am in love with this idea! I agree with Laura 2.0, you should see if you can get in touch with any graphic design artists in your area (possibly college students).

    Local comicons, expect custom work like that to be very, VERY pricey.

    Sorry for the double post, but I just google searched custom comic book and found this on Etsy:

    https://www.etsy.com/listing/232768857/custom-comic-book-written-and-drawn-just?ref=market

    or a more affordable options:

    This is a really cute idea, the only thing I would be concerned about would be if you have a larger guest list, people might not sign it because it will take longer to get through and create a line to get into the reception so they may bypass it
