Alright folks, gather 'round! Your friendly neighborhood artist, Steve Rude (the one with the crippling art supply habit!), is back with a brand new sketchbook project: The Art of Steve Rude 2025 Sketchbook!
This bad boy's hitting crowdfunding in January, and lemme tell ya, art supplies ain't cheap. That's why your support is golden!
Speaking of gold, be sure to check out our Patreon page – those dedicated dudes and dudettes get some special deals during the launch.
And hey, while you're at it, head over to our launch page (www.steverude.com/2025skb) and sign up for the Backerkit livestream! We'll be dishing all the juicy details about the sketchbook and maybe even throw in a few laughs.
Now, to keep this humble dude motivated, let's hear it! What kind of goodies would make YOU excited for the next crowdfunder? Hit that poll and let your freak flag fly! (Select all that apply)
We just wanted to let everyone know that work on the comic is currently underway, and to say thank you to everyone for their patience. We joined onto the comictopia project on rather short notice, but during the campaign it became clear that while we love Backerkit for our fulfillment solution, we've just built up too much of a an audience on Kickstarter to try and move everyone over here. So we will be launching issue 1, the full issue, over on Kickstarter next month, and we will have enough art to finalize assembly of the ashcan very soon.
Artist Antonio Baldari also had to take on another gig unexpectedly but is back working on CSR, and also contributed this awesome cover for the upcoming full length issue.
So hopefully if everything lines up right, you will have the ashcans in hand just as everyone is starting to talk about the first issue, before it goes to press. This will also get a wide circulation through comic book stores nation/world-wide, making this limited ashcan release something special. As soon as the new kickstarter pre-launch page is live we will share that too. More to come soon!
BRAND NEW VARIANT COVER UNLOCKED: GREEN STRIPE THROWBACK COVER!

This cover will ONLY be printed for this campaign, and then disappear forever! The Ultimate swag pack tier includes all three variant covers for issue 4, the digital edition, the custom T-shirt, and the two never before release Bellamy and Virgil glossy 11"x17" posters illustrated by Drew Moss! The amazing illustrator behind Gargoyles, and currently Thundercats!
there's just 8 days left to grab your copy of Greenzone #4 so head over to www.gomrfish.com to back it now! Thank you for all you support and a special thank you to everyone that has shared the campaign on social media! It is the BIGGEST thing anyone can do to support fellow indie creators.
When can we expect the digital versions to hit our mailboxes, haven't seen an email from you about the delivery of the those, thinking if the physical version are shipping, so should the digital ones :)
Looking forward to seeing this.
Just a quick update on the shipping status of Karma Volume 2 graphic novels. The books are on the water and making their way to port in the US right now. We are finishing up the pledge manager and will be launching it soon to collect shipping details from all the backers. Once its ready to launch, we'll update everyone to review and reply to the surveys.
Once the books arrive at the port we will notify everyone of the updated status and shipping expectations. From port the books will need to be unloaded off the container ship and then placed on a train to transport to our warehouse. As soon as they are in our hands we'll begin shipping out to all the backers.
Greenzone 1-4 is LIVE now through March 3rd! "Greenzone: Life In The Blocks" is a gritty saga where illegal mutants fight to survive a corrupt system, brutal streets, and their own haunted pasts—because five years on the force is the only way out! Check it out HERE
We are finishing up issue #5 this month. Issue #1 will be on shelves in your local comic store in May. We are on schedule to ship your graphic novel in April. Here is the cover for issue #2.
Thank you again for your support. I know you are going to love the book!
The Adventures of Baby Zicky Issue #2 - The Invasion
Welcome back to our bi-weekly check-in! While we have no significant and easily summarized milestones to report, we’d still like to assure everyone that the work’s chugging along. Adjustments to balloons took longer than expected, mostly due to the weird ways in which Adobe’s Photoshop and Illustrator do and (relevant here) do not cooperate.
But items are now back in the designer’s hands to be updated, tweaked, and prepped.
As always, thanks for being here! And have a nice weekend! If you’re supposed to get ice and bad weather (as we are in our general neck of the woods), stay safe and warm!
