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!
CREATOR
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:

Rigsby WI - Volume 1: Foothold
Project Update: Refuel!
Hello folks! 👋
At this point if you have not filled out your survey, you've missed the bus and we're going to need for you to reach out to us at [email protected] so that we can arrange if we can issue a copy to you. Please be sure to reach out to us there if you have a problem, as we try not to discuss personal information in the comments/messages within these websites for both more active monitoring reasons and your security.
We really hope that you loved the physical print of this comic! In a while, we will be announcing 'Burn It Down', the second volume's funding campaign over here on Kickstarter, which we would love for you to be a part of as well! 🌲
Thank you all again so much for helping us bring S.E. Case's fantastic chronicle of small-town teen troubles to print for the first time. If you've just started to read from Iron Circus' crowdfunding campaigns, I personally cannot wait for you to read this next volume, which has an amazing, almost-monochrome color palette choice that sets you into the tone of Anna's chapter.

American Geniuses – A Graphic Novel
Project Update: Digital Download Released!
Hi everyone -
I'm thrilled to share that distribution of the American Geniuses PDF begins today!
Keep your eyes on your email for a digital download link from BackerKit.
Natalie, Michelle, and I are so incredibly grateful for your patience while we expanded the first issue to a full 32 pages. We're all perfectionists, but we think that we caught every little issue.
HOWEVER, if you find a mistake that we missed, we'd love to hear about it, so we can correct if for print. Because we're going to print ASAP.
Thanks so much for your support!
Ben, Michelle, and Natalie
