Big news dropped: Kickstarter selected The Art of Steve Rude 2026 - Inside the Studio as a "Project We Love"!
And we're SO close to our next community goal—just 5 more backers and we'll be sending a whole BOX of sketchbooks to ComicBooks for Troops. If you know anyone who'd love this book, now's the perfect time to share!
Meanwhile, the community leaderboard competition is getting spicy. Trevin Hickmon is holding the top spot at 1,895 points, with Ray Riethmeier and Brian T. Rivers battling for second. The winners get a free sketch from Steve and homemade cookies from me—but honestly, even if you're not competing, the community chat is worth joining just for the fun.
When the campaign reaches 300 backers, we’ll send one full box of The Art of Steve Rude 2026 to our partner ComicBooks for Troops, putting the 2026 Art Book into the hands of service members around the world.
Goal: 300 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!
