Project Update: Yo Dudes & Dudettes! The Humble Dude's New Sketchbook Needs YOU!
Alright folks, gather 'round! Your friendly neighborhood artist, Steve Rude (the one with the crippling art supply habit!), is back with a brand new sketchbook project: The Art of Steve Rude 2025 Sketchbook!
This bad boy's hitting crowdfunding in January, and lemme tell ya, art supplies ain't cheap. That's why your support is golden!
Speaking of gold, be sure to check out our Patreon page – those dedicated dudes and dudettes get some special deals during the launch.
And hey, while you're at it, head over to our launch page (www.steverude.com/2025skb) and sign up for the Backerkit livestream! We'll be dishing all the juicy details about the sketchbook and maybe even throw in a few laughs.
Now, to keep this humble dude motivated, let's hear it! What kind of goodies would make YOU excited for the next crowdfunder? Hit that poll and let your freak flag fly! (Select all that apply)
See you in January, dudes and dudettes!

Hi Everyone,
We just wanted to let everyone know that work on the comic is currently underway, and to say thank you to everyone for their patience. We joined onto the comictopia project on rather short notice, but during the campaign it became clear that while we love Backerkit for our fulfillment solution, we've just built up too much of a an audience on Kickstarter to try and move everyone over here. So we will be launching issue 1, the full issue, over on Kickstarter next month, and we will have enough art to finalize assembly of the ashcan very soon.
Artist Antonio Baldari also had to take on another gig unexpectedly but is back working on CSR, and also contributed this awesome cover for the upcoming full length issue.
So hopefully if everything lines up right, you will have the ashcans in hand just as everyone is starting to talk about the first issue, before it goes to press. This will also get a wide circulation through comic book stores nation/world-wide, making this limited ashcan release something special. As soon as the new kickstarter pre-launch page is live we will share that too. More to come soon!
In the mean time, if you're into other gratuitous, violent fun, but of the supernatural bent, there's a campaign for the new printing of Mercy Sparx #1 happening right now:

Project Update: Printer Proofs Have Been Approved - Pre Press Staring Next Week
Another quick update here on the production of the Thundercats Graphic Novels. All of the back and forth of the preparation process between the printer and approvals of the books has been completed. The printer is now getting ready to begin the pre-press process which includes preparation for the books to start running on press. This process of preparation takes about a week - and right now we are looking at the printer completing that part of the work by the end of next week.
At that point - the books will be scheduled for press and will start being made. As the books print - the pages will be compiled and prepared for binding. The great news is that everything is moving along as expected and we should be giving everyone updates on our projected shipping schedule very soon. We will continue to provide updates at each stage of printing and will make sure you know when we'll be starting fulfillment.
