After many trips to the post office and several big rolls of bubble wrap, the 150+ reward books for my Kickstarter backers have been sent. If you weren't a backer but would like a copy they are now available at etsy.com/shop/stevenreddy

It was a labor of love and I put my heart into it. For those who favor location sketches there are hundreds to look at, and I hope you also enjoy the gamble I take sharing my candid thoughts, feelings and foibles in comic form.

My plan is to go "off the grid" until April 24th when my How-to-Draw book, Everyday Sketching and Drawing, is published by Monacelli Press. They've already lined up speaking engagements to promote that book so I'll come out of hibernation with a traveling slideshow to give demos and inspirational talks. Until then I'm going to hole up and work on the next book which I hope to print in two years. In the meantime, Everyday Sketching and Drawing is already available for pre-order on Amazon.

I'll continue to join Urban Sketchers on outings, and talks are underway for next year's 10x10 worldwide workshops, so stay tuned for more info on that front.
