Rallyist 350 was completed. It was ready to be launched on the back of the record sales of Rallyist Remastered and the 5 Event 'Back to Routes' Book launch. I was, but a hair's breadth away from getting the dream of building The Rallyist Motor Sport Art Gallery underway ...
However, to coin a phase from award winning Fjord Builder Slartibartfast ...
"The best laid plans of Mice" ...
So, Twelve months on, here we are again. Well almost and granted we didn't in fact make records sales or do the 5 events. Though staying forever positive, when people do get to see Rallyist Remastered, like my artwork, they do buy it. Just not enough people are getting to see it. Ergo Gallery.
As time goes by, and governed by my very nature, Rallyist350 will be open to a couple of new ideas on the format of Rallyist 350 which will also means it is once again at that 'not yet ready!' stage. And let's face it, 4 new cartoons that could perhaps be added to an upgraded Rallyist Remastered, but will be in 350 .. how's that for exclusive!
Rall350 page layout ... Rough Draft 2024 Version
Rather than just rely on using One image to describe the end result of the finished work, I am going to add a brief description, thereby offering a little more insight into my thinking and process. This way the book may have some educational, if not a certain legacy value to the reader. I'm also looking at the different types of outer cover binding to ultimately add that collectable quality feel. The above Mk2 Escort Cover? That will become the new 'Inside Cover' ... Page one.
Target?
Lets go for Race Retro 2025 that way I can run off Rallyist350 N°1 get it signed, auction it for charity at the event, and pre-order the remaining Rallyist349 leading up to the event launch. Lets then tie it in with launch of 'Too Much Speed..'
Sounds like a Plan...
