We've got some fantastic news to share - our first batch of Figure Drawing books arrived on Friday, and Steve was so excited he showed them off during his livestream!

The rest of our book order is rolling in Monday, which means we're officially starting to ship on Tuesday. Can you believe it? We're actually doing this!

Team Update & Transition Time We're in one of those exciting but busy seasons where everyone's got cool stuff happening. Lynn's taking some well-deserved vacation time, and Jessica is following her dreams with her own video channel (we're so proud of her!). This means our superhero Jaynelle is wearing quite a few hats right now - managing orders, wrapping up the new book, keeping Patreon fresh, recovering from surgery like a champ, and somehow still finding time for husky park adventures and gym sessions. Oh, and making sure Steve stays fed (someone's got to do it!).

Ways to Be Part of the Journey If you're feeling the community spirit and want to help us keep this momentum going, there are some fun ways to jump in: our Return to Earth Studio preview campaign is actually live right now on BackerKit (), and we're super excited because it's also launching on Kickstarter this Tuesday with an amazing earlybird deal through the weekend! You can always fuel Jaynelle's coffee addiction through Patreon, or just spread the word to your local comic shops that we've got fresh books ready to go. Every bit of support helps us keep this creative train rolling!

Thanks for being such an incredible community - we literally couldn't do this without you all!

Tuesday shipping, here we come!

Much love,

Team Rude Dude
