Howdy backers!

Guess what? We hit a whopping 20,000! 🎉 Time to do a victory dance (or at least a happy jig). You guys are the real MVPs, seriously.

Now, let's talk about that next stretch goal – 25,000! If we reach this magical number, BAM! 8 more pages of awesomeness get added to the book. Can you imagine? Your eyeballs will be swimming in pure literary goodness.

And speaking of awesomeness, don't forget to join us for our livestream today at 1:30 PM Arizona time (MST)(1 hour!). We'll be spilling the tea (or maybe some lemonade? 🤔) on all things Steve Rude. Plus, there might be a surprise or two. 🤫

Keep those pledges coming!   With your help, Steve will be able to dedicate more time and energy to his creative pursuits, and invest more time in mentoring aspiring artists, sharing his knowledge and experience with the next generation of creators.

God Bless,

The Rude Dude Team 🍻

✨ 48 Hours Nearly Gone! We're Almost at Stretch Goal #2! ✨
about 1 month ago – Fri, Jan 10, 2025 at 03:29:03 PM

Wow, we're absolutely blown away by the incredible support we've received so far! Thanks to all of you, we're nearly at our second stretch goal of $20,000, which will add an extra 8 pages of amazing content to the project.

We're also incredibly excited to announce that we've been named one of the hottest projects on BackerKit right now and are currently featured on their homepage! This is a huge honor and a testament to the incredible community we're building together.

Counting down the first 48 hours in our campaign (ending tomorrow at 9 AM PST), we're urging you to spread the word and remind anyone who hasn't backed yet to do so. They'll not only get to be a part of this exciting project, but they'll also receive a free Thor print as a thank you for their support.

Let's make these final first 48 hours count and unlock that extra 8 pages!

With gratitude,

The Rude Dude Team

You guys are the real MVPs! We're still pinching ourselves over this incredible outpouring of support.

Seriously, thank you from the bottom of our geeky hearts.

Now, for the juicy bit:
  • Alice and Nude Editions: If we hit that sweet $20,000 stretch goal, those babies are getting a massive upgrade! We're talking a whole extra 8 pages of pure artistic genius. More art, more studies, more…everything!
  • Hardcover Edition: These fancy pants already have all the pages they need. They're living the high life, let's be honest. 😉

So, let's keep this momentum going! Every extra dollar gets us closer to those 8 extra pages of awesomeness. 

Let's show the world what we can do when we work together!

With grateful hearts (and maybe a little champagne),

The Rude Dude Team
