SKETCHBOOK UPDATE
I am keeping addresses open to make changes until we get a shipping confirmation from the printer, so if you've moved go to https://rude2020skb.backerkit.com and update your address! When the printer ran the test we found a tiny problem:
After a few trials we were able to fix the error:
The printer is being diligent and doing press checks every batch so that is slowing down the printing and may take another 1-2 weeks before they are bound and ready to ship. On the up side they will all look amazing!
DOWNLOADS
With the book fully approved, we created the downloads and I am sending those out starting tonight to the email you used during checkout. That email will also be used for shipping confirmations. If you ordered a download and do not see the download by Friday night PST, please message us and we will get you a copy.
THE COMING OF GOURMANDO - DELUXE EDITION
We are currently in the middle stages of a design competition for a new designer for Rude Dude Productions and Steve Rude Art. The designers are hard at work designing their version of the opening pages for The Coming of Gourmando. The winner will have their design featured on the actual book which will be published December 2020 with our next Kickstarter.
We hope to both ship our 2015-20 Sketchbook AND launch the Kickstarter for The Coming of Gourmando early October 2020. All the pieces of the book are completed, and the book is expected to run approximately 250 pages and cost around $50,000 to print.
We are currently putting the Kickstarter together and I will have more information coming in the next few weeks. The tentative plan includes the hardcover, an exclusive signed copy with a bookplate (similar to Artist in Motion), and even a few with original art sewn into the book! That along with artists prints on high quality art paper and some original art we are hoping will allow us to have our best book to date.
