2021 Sketchbook Launching Saturday!
almost 3 years ago – Fri, Apr 02, 2021 at 01:03:30 AM

Our 2021 Sketchbook is currently in review by Kickstarter, but here is an exclusive sneak peek at offers.  Kickstarter has approved the project and we will launch at noon, PST on Saturday, April 3rd, just 2 days!

LINK TO PROJECT: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/steverude/2021-steve-rude-the-dude-sketchbook?ref=4ojmj1&token=3a8b439c

NOTE: We are still adding all the reward levels and add ons so that's not finished yet!  We are also pulling artwork that is available for sale that was used in the book and will be adding those as extra add ons.

Welcome to the 2021 Steve Rude Sketchbook

Inside you'll find various studies, commissions, and some of the select published pieces you may have seen from me during the past year.

Some of the changes that the Year of COVID has effected on many artists, whatever your talents may be, has freed us up to produce more personal work or doing tutorials for the online crowd.   Thus, you can hit the YouTube switch to see me demoing how I approach oil painting, watercolor techniques, and other mixed media efforts to not just help increase the Steve Rude Art brand awareness, but to help those who still have a hard time figuring all this art stuff out.  Even with the 100's of always-increasing art tutorials available from these various sites--some good, some less so--it's the ones that click with you personally that will always be the most useful.

Hopefully, the images on the following pages will click with you.

Sketchbook includes pages from Steve's personal sketchbook along with personal painted studies, notes, and commissions.

ALTERNATIVE COVER

As a Kickstarter exclusive you can choose either the Wonder Woman or the White Queen cover! Choice is made with survey after campaign ends.
We have a limited number of 2020 Black Sketchbook left. They are actual covers to the 2020 Sketchbook and art is on the cover, not a separate piece of paper. Size of book is 8½" x 11". B&W marker sketch included, +$200 color marker, +$500 painted.

The Nexus Booklet will include pages from Steve's private sketchbook, commissions, promotional artwork and preliminary artwork. It will only be produced if we meet our $50k stretch goal.

Nexus: Gourmando at IndieGoGo
about 3 years ago – Sun, Mar 07, 2021 at 04:23:00 PM

If you missed the Gourmando Kickstarter, we have just launched a 2nd campaign at IndieGoGo.  Quantities are limited as the book is currently at the printer and the print run is set.

The TPB is being finalized Monday and should be in house by May.  The hardcover has been expanded to 320 pages and enlarged to 12x15" making it over double the typical "Artist Edition" size, but it's going to be gorgeous!   Prices are slightly higher than the Kickstarter run with limited options, but we are offering FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING on the Deluxe and Limited Edition sets.

You'll also be happy to hear that we have the 2021 Sketchbook in the works!

Batman and Shipping Update
over 3 years ago – Tue, Dec 01, 2020 at 11:07:49 AM

I'm pleased to report that the missing Batman cover books have made their way over the border and should be in house by Saturday so we are hoping to get off all the remaining orders by Monday!  The orders are boxes up and just waiting for the Batman book to be added.

We have a few left that did not have Batman books that we are working to get out tomorrow.  Brandon's trip to the hospital for 2 days threw off my entire schedule (and sleep) so I'm just now feeling human again and back to work.

Thanks again for your support!

If you didn't order the Gourmando book you can do that at steverude.com/gourmandokickstarter.  If you want to add anything else feel free to order from the online store and choose "Kickstarter Combine Shipping" as your shipping method!

As a special thanks for your support and for opening and reading this email take 20% off your entire order in the online store with discount code cyber20.  Ends Friday, Dec 4th, at midnight MST.
