"THE ART OF… series of books will highlight fantastic miniatures artists from around the world, bringing their thoughts and passions to stand alongside their magnificent and inspirational work. We’ll be featuring both individuals and groups in this series, as we explore innovative approaches, studied refinements, and even tangential influences.

These books will be both a celebration of the artist and their art, as well as an opportunity for them to present their thoughts on particular topics and let the world know why they approach their art the way they do. These will not be “How To” books, but rather complements to their existing outlets work that the artists are already doing."

The ongoing campaign is for the first three volumes:
Vol. 1 THE ART OF... Miniature Monthly
Vol. 2 THE ART OF...Christof Keil
Vol. 3 THE ART OF... Ana Polanšćak (yours truly)

Looking like an essential series. Really happy that these artists are being documented this well. Can’t wait to get a copy of your volume.

Cheers Keith! Much appreciated.  :)

The funding goal has been reached, and now we're going towards stretch goals. Those will upgrade the quality of the physical books and add some free and purchasable extras. I'm particularly looking forward to the token set I'll be designing if we reach 33k.

Well deserved recognition for your art. I think I’ll subscribe for a copy of your book (even though you have already shown so much of your work here - it will be nice to have it all in one place). I wonder if the Perrys will be buying a copy, as you have made such great use of their plastic figures  :)

Good set of books. A friend of mine backed it already and I might hop on the bandwagon, funds depending.

Spread the good word to some relatives regarding this, they do keep asking for gift suggestions.

We're about to enter the final day of the campaign. All of our Add-ons and Freebies have been unlocked. Everyone backing at $20 or higher will receive five tutorial PDFs for free, and you can add sets of art cards, a poster, gaming tokens, and even a slipcase to your pledge as well. Our final Stretch Goals are focused on expanding each book with more pages, and giving you even more value for your money. Still a bit of time to check it out if you haven't, and thank you for your support!
