They were the firm that built my previous Single Bound Studios web site.</p> <p>In the meantime I will still maintain this blog (dpbanks.com) as place to share cover design projects.</p>http://dpbanks.com/post/39675839874http://dpbanks.com/post/39675839874Fri, 04 Jan 2013 14:55:25 -0500dpbanks<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0c01096ea06b246dd7f97b0a07d2e832/tumblr_mfcn9uED5T1qzgs81o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Covers for a three volume set of Jonathan Hickman’s Fantastic Four run.</p>http://dpbanks.com/post/38409798601http://dpbanks.com/post/38409798601Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:49:06 -0500Single Bound Studios<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6ab874657d4c788c5acb2485a79a5fad/tumblr_mfcn7rdKuX1qzgs81o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://dpbanks.com/post/38409698312http://dpbanks.com/post/38409698312Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:47:50 -0500Single Bound Studios<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ce9040b994aed6bd928e1a7e3e51ffd3/tumblr_mfcn6tZZDO1qzgs81o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://dpbanks.com/post/38409653445http://dpbanks.com/post/38409653445Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:47:17 -0500Single Bound Studios<p>Here is an interesting <a href="http://goo.gl/QG7bC" title="Kickstarter" target="_blank">Kickstarter</a> project from a former customer.</p>http://dpbanks.com/post/37033990652http://dpbanks.com/post/37033990652Sun, 02 Dec 2012 10:36:18 -0500dpbanks<p>See the latest auctions at <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/dpbanks_seller/m.html?_nkw=&amp;_armrs=1&amp;_from=&amp;_ipg=&amp;_trksid=p3686" title="ebay" target="_blank">dpbanks_seller</a>.</p>http://dpbanks.com/post/34229666512http://dpbanks.com/post/34229666512Wed, 24 Oct 2012 09:45:52 -0400Single Bound Studios<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc7gtqi2Q21qzgs81o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A book I made using the service at Blurb.com.

I quit taking new orders back June 1, 2012. It then took me until July 23, 2012 to get caught up on all the design projects we had in-house.</p> <p>Going forward I am following through on binding projects at the binderies and working to revamp how Single Bound Studios provides bookbinding services to comic book collectors.</p> <p>Stay tuned!</p>http://dpbanks.com/post/27994897558http://dpbanks.com/post/27994897558Wed, 25 Jul 2012 14:45:31 -0400Single Bound Studios<p>I have eliminated my dpbanks.com site that I had located at Flavors. Try as I might I was never satisfied with how Flavors worked. The promise was to have all my sites and blogs flow through the site but it never seemed to work properly. So for now dpbanks.com will point to this blog.</p>http://dpbanks.com/post/27994045276http://dpbanks.com/post/27994045276Wed, 25 Jul 2012 14:31:24 -0400Single Bound Studios<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7h8b8t4Gt1qzgs81o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://dpbanks.com/post/27648121442http://dpbanks.com/post/27648121442Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:45:08 -0400softcover<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7h8btg6ek1qzgs81o1_r2_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://dpbanks.com/post/27648142899http://dpbanks.com/post/27648142899Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:45:00 -0400softcover<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7h8an6RUB1qzgs81o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://dpbanks.com/post/27648098236http://dpbanks.com/post/27648098236Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:44:47 -0400softcover<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7h89gFunT1qzgs81o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://dpbanks.com/post/27648054006http://dpbanks.com/post/27648054006Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:44:04 -0400softcover<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7h8a2hv811qzgs81o1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://dpbanks.com/post/27648077336http://dpbanks.com/post/27648077336Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:44:00 -0400softcover
