Fundraising to print our anthology, Gateways to Beyond

Gurukitty Studios is currently working on our 3rd anthology,Gateways to Beyond, and we have  launched a crowd funding campaign to help raise the funds needed to publish this book.

The campaign has many perks and donation levels where you can get digital and physical copies of our new and previous anthologies, including pre-orders ofGateways to Beyond. If you are unable to financially support the campaign, thats okay, helping us spread the word is extremely helpful, as well.

If you could spread the word on your social media sites such as twitter and facebook it will greatly increase our chances of successfully funding our campaign.

Gateways to Beyond will have 23 black and white sci-fi comics from artists all over the world.
The wrap around cover art was done by one of the contributors, Jason Hart.

Sample comic pages from the anthology will be posted periodically on tindiegogo campaign. We will also be posting concept work and sketches.

Thank you for supporting Gurukitty Studios.

VCon is next weekend, and I wanted to have a fresh drawing to have some new prints. I was doing a tutorial for Copic Marker and finished it early. The tutorial will be posted in a few weeks (I've frequently done tutorials for Copic) in the mean time, here is the image which will be available to buy as a print at Vcon this weekend.

Going to post more art - scott commission

I can't begin to tell you how many people are commissioning me to draw X photo in my style. I was happy though, this was my first winter scene of the year OuO

Busy busy! This year we've been going to every convention we could, even if it was a long shot. Why? Research. We want to get an idea of where our work sells best, and where it doesn't sell any all. You can't assume anything in a world like this.
So far its been an extremely worthwhile experiment! We've had enough surprises that we've thrown out all our assumptions.
By the end of the year we will have been to more come than I can even recall, but we are going to compile our data and see where our time and money is best spent on next years convention schedule!
I've also made some pretty awesome connections in the  convention circuit as well. A pleasant surprise :)
