from 833 reviewsAs every, a package from Steve and Jaynelle is an absolute delight. Even Santa Claus' deliveries aren't as much fun!
I have been a fan of Steve Rude's artwork since I first saw an issue of NEXUS at my local comic shop in the early 1980's. That being said, when I came across a Facebook announcement about his art for sale I jumped at the opportunity to add a piece to my personal original art collection. I couldn't decide among two awesome and unique pieces, so I purchased both (the other a tasteful nude). Hey, life is short! They were safely packaged and arrived within a few quick days. I appreciate the personalized invoice and the assorted "extras" included. I took the opportunity to watch a live stream last week and over the MLK holiday weekend looked through more archives and offerings. Safe travels to OAX and I will circle back to continue my shopping after upcoming Richmond GalaxyCon. Be well and enjoy life! Steve W. (Woodbridge, VA).
These items make great affordable birthday or Christmas presents. Also a plus for your own comic collections. Will eventually and definitely make future purchases. Items arrived quickly and safe. also good communication if you have any questions.
You know you are getting quality from The Dude every time - this bundle was better than expected. I would highly recommend and as the man said, if you get something that you already have, pass it along to a friend.
Loved the prints I received in the mystery pack I ordered - always great service and value when ordering from the Rude Dude! Now bring back the Moth man!
Thanks
Jerry
I ordered multiple copies of ‘Wonder Woman Day at the Fair’ as a gift for all my friends who are cat lovers. This piece captures the warmth and kindness I see in my friends who’ve saved many feline lives by adopting strays over the years. Plus we get to see Wonder Woman connecting with young girls doing their part to find good homes for a bunch of kittens.
I purchase a lot of art prints throughout the year but I’ve never received art that was packaged with such care. The prints were wrapped in multiple layers of beautiful blue tissue paper and sealed with a Nexus holiday sticker. Plus, I was sent multiple emails letting me know the package’s status throughout the shipping process. I felt like someone on Steve’s team would be aware if anything went wrong during the delivery stage of my order and that alone is a really rare thing these days.
So THANK YOU Steve Rude for creating beautiful art that I love sharing with my friends! And thank you for running a great business with your website as well. Everyone reading this, be sure to pick up an extra print or two for a loved one and show Steve all the support you can!
Return to Earth is great couldn't be any more happy with my purchase! And once again cause I previously ordered the figure drawing book which I love but the packaging is second to none. I cannot overstate the quality of care put into the the way the rude team puts there packages together. Thank you guys!
For anyone who wants to learn about how comics are created, this book is a master class. Printed on high-quality paper, the book takes you through all aspects of the creative process, from the idea, to the script, to layouts, art. Learn from one of the true masters, Steve Rude.
It’s just gorgeous. Beautifully produced, a gorgeously detailed deep, deep dive into production from a man truly devoted to his art, and a family all working together. I love it madly.
Been a fan of Mr Rude art. But this look at the process, from script to final page was very interesting. Thanks for letting us look over your shoulder.
"I received my Return To Earth and other associated goodies yesterday. As always, the Rude Crew did a fantastic job packaging everything with care. The book itself is food for thought and a feast for the eyes. I can't put a price tag on what you've shared with all of us and how its impacted me. We're lucky to have an artist of your caliber with us."
It's a great drawing and it arrived safely. I haven't had time to get it framed, but I have a space for it. And it's awesome to get something like this without driving to connection and waiting in line forever. I'm looking at some old covers now. Nexus Alien Justice #2 is beautiful. I wonder what that original cover art is going for.. a lot... Anyway, thanks.
I received your wonderful book: "Steve Rude's FIGURE DRAWING, A How To from a Veteran Illustrator" a few days ago.
I got to work on copying some of the drawings in order to improve my figure drawing. This book is TERRIIC!. USEFUL is the key word I can think of today. The figure drawings help me bridge my Loomis learning into my comic book effort. I had a great time drawing flying figures today. Steve, I really appreciate this volume. It is loaded with stuff I want to work into my beingness as an artist
It's always interesting to revisit something you first read as a child and loved to see if it was a good as you remember. Nexus: As It Happened, reprinting the earliest Nexus issues, is better than I remember. I miss the color, but have to say seeing the artwork in black and white is its own joy. Similar collections for the following issues would be well worth exploration. Regarding more mundane issues, thanks for a wonderful package, easy ordering, and speedy delivery. And lest I forget, the stickers! Love 'em. Keep up the good work.
In field crowded with "how to" books, Steve Rude has created a must read book on figure drawing. He emphasizes the fundamentals of gesture and basic forms in a concise, easy to read manner. We are lucky to have an artist and teacher of his stature among us.
