A new, expanded edition of my art book Woodlands is now available on Kickstarter! The campaign lasts until the end of August.
Woodlands is a hardcover art book featuring my ink paintings and coloured pencil drawings with dreamlike forest and fantasy themes.
I originally self-published the book in 2018, and both of its print runs sold out a few years ago. But now I have teamed up with the indie press Atthis Arts and we’re running this crowdfunding campaign to bring Woodlands back to life.
The new, expanded edition of Woodlands will contain all the book’s original art and poetry, along with my later works in the same style, including some brand new drawings and paintings from 2026 that you haven’t seen yet. There will be 96 pages in the book, which includes 36 brand new pages of art.
In addition to the art book, the campaign also features my 2027 Calendar as well as my other book Faraway Dreaming. You can choose a pledge level with only the Woodlands art book, or get one of the combined book/calendar bundles.
The 2027 Calendar features 12 all-new fantasy illustrations, not found in Woodlands or Faraway Dreaming!
My publisher Atthis Arts is based in Detroit, Michigan, which means that the books and calendars will be printed in the United States. A note for international buyers (outside the USA) – I warmly recommend getting my books and calendars via the Kickstarter. The shipping fees are much lower compared to ordering these items from the publisher’s website, afterwards.
Also, keep in mind that only Kickstarter backers can receive the digital extras, which include bonus artworks, a set of digital wallpapers, an in-depth behind-the-scenes video, and my writings about illustration style, art tools, and creative process. And more surprises will be unlocked as the campaign grows. Most of the digital rewards won’t be available anywhere else!
You can support my art and the Woodlands project by grabbing any of the rewards from this Kickstarter! Sharing the campaign link makes a huge difference too. Thank you so much. ♥
