new sketchbook?

Post by MikeM »

Is there a way for fans to get a copy of the new sketchbook if they aren't going to SDCC?

I have been away from these forums (real life got in the way) for the last two months, so sorry if I missed it.

Thanks,

MikeM

I just picked up Sketchbook 6 from the printer, and will post the cover up on my Live Journal with my Comic-con schedule. I'm just waiting to confirm my signing at Dark Horse.

The sketchbook, along with numbers 2-5, will be available through mail order for Dojo members after Comic-con. I have too much going on before the con.

Look for an announcement at the end of July. They will be $10 each, plus postage. Sketchbook 2 will probably be sold out by the end of the year.

Very cool cover!

Makes me wonder if you sub-consciously want to kill off all your characters.... :lol: (or maybe just on some days?)

Still not quite as weird as the drawing of Stan being decapitated by Usagi that was in Sketchbook #5.

pre-emptive strike on the part of Usagi?

I suspect the new cover is one of the few times Stan will consider being able to draw our favourite characters in their death positions :wink:

I haven't really heard anything about this yet.
What's in it? Did anyone pick it up at SDCC?
Stan are you still planning on making this available via mail for Dojo Members?

Thanks,

MikeM

I would like to pick up a set of the available sketchbooks. Where and when will they be available to purchase Stan?

Thanks :)

Yes, the sketchbooks will be available to Dojo members.

I want to completely clear out the free Panel2Panel signature plate giveaway first. I am still waiting for 4 members to PM me their addresses, then I'll send them all out.

Thanks, Stan!!
