View Full Version : EXPOSE' 1 Limited Editions Sold Out - and more news
Leonard 09-17-2003, 02:48 PM Hi all,
A bit of an update from us at Ballistic Media, the fine people who bring you CGNetworks, CGTalk and EXPOSE' (http://www.ballisticpublishing.com). If you haven't already gotten your copy of EXPOSE', make sure to get one from the Ballistic Publishing website (http://www.ballisticpublishing.com).
Limited Collectors Editions are SOLD OUT
Woot! EXPOSE' 1 leather bound Limited Collectors Editions (individually numbered 1-999) have sold out. The only way to get it now is to barter or possibly get it on eBay if anyone decides to auction them off ;)
Paperback and Hard Cover editions are readily available from the Ballistic Publishing website - go get it (http://www.ballisticpublishing.com).
And remember to show EXPOSE' to all your friends/colleagues and introduce them to the wonderful world of CGTalk and EXPOSE'. ;-)
All pre-orders have been fulfilled
Everyone who pre-ordered EXPOSE' including the Limited Editions and Artist Editions are having their books sent out this week. We finally got custom boxes made up as well so that they are super protected in the shipping process.
New book titles on the way
We have a range of new titles that we will be announcing shortly. And yes, the entry process for EXPOSE' 2 will be started very soon as well (Nov), in order to get it ready for SIGGRAPH next year in LA - so START RENDERING. We will be setting up a forum here on CGTalk for EXPOSE' critiques, where people intending for artwork to be submitted for EXPOSE' can obtain valuable critique.
Digital Illustrators Interviews
We're still in the process of interviewing various EXPOSE' artists and we'll be rolling them out shortly. Here's all the previous artist profiles in case you missed any:

Excellent news Leo,
I recieved mine and loving it all the way, good to hear you're dealing with the packaging as well, mine was slightly dented at the corners, but nothing unacceptable.
looking forward to the new Ballistic Publishing Titles :)
cheers.

woohoo!! 2 more titles... and expose 2!
Great job on the expose, I've given props on the other expose forum.. but there can't be enough said for a book of this quality. Thanx for putting together the book, and on to the next chapter!

So, with the success of Expose, is there any chance of a multi-region DVD for animation being put out by you guys as well?

reading the articles you guys write is one of my favorite parts of this site (and one of the only that i have time for, since the forums are too vast to ever get the full benefits of in one lifetime)
added lots of links to my favorites list due to this thread :drool:
definitely will have to get expose now that there is a paperback version out for us poverty stricken students.

Not only is the finished product great, but Ballistic have gone to great lengths to make sure delivery goes smoothly. Good job on the custom boxes.
Looks like Ballistic is a publisher with great ideas, that cares about quality, fair pricing, and its customers. Should make for a very bright future.
Well done.
I received my book a few weeks back, and I have to say, the quality of the book is incredible. I admire the time and effort that has gone into creating it and I am looking forward to the promising future that Ballistic Publishing has to offer.

Beautiful book in every regard.can't wait for #2.:beer:
Speaking of #2.Will submissions start up in November,or is that thew deadline?Do you have a ballpark idea of when submissions will be closed for Expose 2?Just a basic idea would be great to hear from you,thanks.
Thanks again,and keep up the great work.

Hi all,
DVD - we thought about it and right now there are no plans for this. Problems with producing a DVD includes royalties, etc. All that aside, the SIGGRAPH Electronic Theatre and Animation Theatre DVD's (3 a year) are already great for this.
EXPOSE' 2 will be announced in Nov. Submissions will go on till probably around March - April.
Limited Editions for EXPOSE' 1 are sold out for good. They will never be produced again - if you didn't get it on time, oh well :) The hard cover and soft cover books are readily available, make sure you get a copy!

oh my, whats next.. a CGnetworks mag? mmmmm i'd subscribe... (if i could) it could have the usual CGnetworks content (from the site but on paper with more images ect..) and extra editorials... heck you'd already have your advertisers lined up! Monthly columns could be setup, artwork in that months gallery additions... winners of the last months contests... mmm I think it could be filled up real fast without any looking for content. just are you even ABLE to do that type of thing... probebly not yet i'm sure.
i need to order me a copy as soon as i get stuff working (i'm wondering, do u accept pay-pal? its all a guy can do in canada!)

Please answer my quastion : will there be more limited editions and what it be the same price??
cause i want to get my hands on a new limeted edition to for expose 2
So are all of those paintings of Craig's purely digital?
I was reading through the interview, and the sword fight one really struck me. Is that a retouch of a paiting of his, or purely digital?

Read my previous post man. (don't you guys even READ before posting?)
The EXPOSE' 1 Limited Editions are sold out. Never to be produced again. That's why they are "LIMITED".
EXPOSE' 2 will have its own set of Limited Editions, but these, again, will be capped and once they're gone, they're GONE!

Leo,
It dawned on me yesterday evening when browsing my local bookstore...
calendars
2004 is right around the corner and calendars have started coming out. What about an Expose Calendar for sale? I would love a few for my office and home. I could always cut out select pictures from my Limited Edition when it arrives but I don't think that'd be too smart...;)
Calendars. How about it?:thumbsup:

Guess what? I just went out to check my mail and found a certain book in the box! :eek: Limited Edition number 775 (so close, should have waited just a bit longer! ;))
I must say, beautiful job, definitely the best art book I've seen. :bowdown: I'll definitely be looking through this a lot, and showing it to everyone - as long as they wash their hands before touching it.

Er... bought this, forgot about it, got it in the mail today. I can use this money more for a digital camera, and my trip to Europe.
So, if anyone is intereted, I am selling this Limited Edition Expose Leather book (I don't know the number). I am asking what i paid, or best offer. The price shipped is $115. I haven't even opened this.... just took it out of the box and inspected, it is still sealed in protective plastic.
Sorry, I don't know where else to post this, and figured someone who wants a LE Leather Expose may look here! E-mail me at:
gcdimarco@lycos.com or gcdimarco@att.net
or send a PM.
Thanks

I got mine two weeks after I ordered it. And that was early September I think? I still have it, new, unopened, and for sale. SO..... if they refund you and want a copy, I am selling mine! PM or e-mail me if you are interested!

Gian, what are you waiting for man? Put it on eBay, then see how much it fetches! You better find out what number it is too! If it's 666 or something supersticious, you could probably fetch a few grand for it! :thumbsup:

Ballistic bureau facilities answer my email of yesterday, and they say me there was an error processing the payment.
Unfortunatelly it seems incredible but I don't find the confirmation emails(I had an HD crash last month, and I have lost a lot of email from march to november)
