Sneak Peek
about 3 years ago – Wed, Nov 03, 2021 at 07:33:54 PM

Not much new to report - but I will give you a quick glimpse of the ENTIRE book in the layout program I use to put it together for the printer (Adobe inDesign). It's so quick there should only be spoilers if you pause it and go frame-by-frame - don't do that! Just let it wash over you! Thanks again for all the support!

Thanks for all of your patience! Production for HEK TREASURY is still ongoing. We're doing some extra art to really make the wait worth it. 

All backers: The digital file should be available by September. 

We appreciate everyone's support!

Here's a three-page spread waiting to be scanned!

We have a press date!

The HEK book is going on press in late November/early December and should start shipping by January 2022. Thank you so much for your patience.

The book is ready to go but the printer we're using is completely backed up on hardcover books so we're not able to get it on press until end of the year. But we have reserved the date and we will be sending out a survey (for add-ons and address changes) closer to October.

The good news about the late press date is that I've got time to add some more art so I'm doing an oil painting specifically for the book - see process photo...it's definitely a work in progress...hoping it turns out okay. We will see!

Prepping for the printer!

Thanks for the absolutely TREMENDOUS patience...I have good news. Art is all finished and uploaded to the server and I started doing the design/layout for the book on Monday. We're getting an updated quote now - hoping pandemic didn't change too much.

Also...more good news - this thing is BIG. MUCH bigger than we anticipated. We're currently at 208 pages which includes 2 big 6-page gatefolds. This book is THICK. Quite a few surprises in store when you finally get this thing in your hands!


Thanks again! I'll post again when we hear from the printer and let you know what our press-date is!
