A new, expanded edition of my art book Woodlands will launch on Kickstarter 4th of August: follow the campaign to get notified when it goes live! The campaign will only last 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 a 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 will also feature my 2027 Calendar. You’ll be able to choose a pledge level with only the Woodlands art book, or get both the book and the calendar together. Both items will be shipped from the United States, and can be shipped to most countries worldwide.
The 2027 Calendar features 12 all-new fantasy illustrations, which are not found in Woodlands!
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 both my book and the calendar via the Kickstarter campaign, instead of waiting until later. The Kickstarter campaign ships to most countries worldwide, and will provide better international shipping options compared to ordering from the publisher’s website, afterwards.
Also, keep in mind that only Kickstarter backers can receive the digital extras, which include bonus art, 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 rewarss won’t be available anywhere else!
