Beautiful package!

These sketchbooks from Steve Rude art are just gorgeous. His work is beautiful to behold, and they always do such a good job with the production values on these books. I think the price is a little high and therefore have to wait for a sale, but overall you can't go wrong if you're a lover of fine art.

Hi there! Thank you for the lovely review of our 2022 Sketchtember Sketchbook LIMITED EDITION. We're thrilled to hear that you find our sketchbooks to be beautiful and well-produced. We understand that the price may seem a bit high, but we want to assure you that we always strive to offer the best value for our customers. In fact, higher sales would actually result in lower prices, as more crowdfunding support would allow us to have a higher print run and lower costs per book. On average, our books cost $10-15 per book, and we also prioritize safe and secure shipping by fully insuring and using new boxes which costs an additional $3-5. We appreciate your support and hope to see you at our next sale. Happy reading!

Great stuff!

Love these sketchbooks from Steve Rude. They're so professional and beautiful to look at. I wish they were more affordable - I was only able to snatch a few of these due to a wonderful holiday sale that was going on. I'd love to order more books like this from Steve Rude, but the shipping costs/high prices sometimes scare me away.

Scott,

Thank you so much for your kind words and 5-star review! We're thrilled you love the sketchbooks.

We understand that the price point can be a barrier for some. Our sketchbooks are indeed a labor of love, featuring limited print runs of around 500 copies based on our crowdfunding orders.

We're always looking for ways to make our products more accessible. We currently offer free shipping on orders over $50 and our shipping costs average $10-15 for US orders.

We appreciate your understanding and hope you'll consider adding a few more of these beautiful sketchbooks to your collection in the future.

Jaynelle - the power behind the throne!

Steve is lucky to have Jaynelle handling all the behind the scenes ‘stuff’ - nothing seems to be a problem for her exemplary customer service and support!

Inspiring!

My name is Adam and this order ended up being my Christmas gift. After watching some interviews of Steve doing sketches or art studies made me want to start drawing in my sketchbook on a daily basis again. Now also having one of Steve’s sketchbooks is a helpful reminder that even the pros still like to practice.

Beautiful & Informative Sketchbooks & a Surprise Signature on the "Clobbered" Print!

I had to order the "B" cover of the Sketchbook, since the Dude is known as the expert on Space Ghost and all other H-B heroes! Love it! Inside the Sketchbooks are lots of beautiful artwork of course, but also a master class of how it's done! Just amazing to explore the Dude's process and see how all of his experience continues to grow and evolve.

The "Clobbered" Thing print is gorgeous! I had to treat myself to a print of my favorite hero and Dave always makes him seem both believable and fun. Plus, Jaynelle upgraded my purchase to include a signature - thanks for this great bonus.

Even though I ordered this a while back - and it came super fast in the mail - I didn't receive it till Christmas morning. My wife squirreled it all away before I had a chance to see it! But it sure was worth the wait! Can't thank you enough!
