The MONSTER VOLUME

At long last, we’re extremely excited to announce our new book project: The MONSTER VOLUME. Measuring 8.5″ x 12.5″, this premium hardcover has been a true labor of love. For the last year we’ve been working away on tons of new content including a broad range of creatures, robots, heroes and villains. With over 35 pages of material under our belt, we jumped head first into laying out the book.
Then we had a thought: What if we could include our sold out sketchbooks as well? So we jumped back into our original high res files and reformatted each page to take advantage of the larger book size. In several cases we’ve updated the original spreads with new designs and polish. At the end of the day, the new book clocks in at 140 pages and includes over 35 pages of unpublished work, Thoughts, Scribbles + Madness 1-3 and Palindrone Robot Supply. It’s a beast.
With the book almost ready to go, we’ve launched our first Kickstarter campaign to get across the finish line. As you know, these projects are massive undertakings, and we can’t do it without you. But with your help spreading the word, we’re on our way to publishing our best book ever! We have all kinds of goodies on the Kickstarter page for you to check out, including prints, original art and special editions. We hope to see you there!

Thanks to everyone for the continued support. Lets make this thing happen!
Hope you guys will get 6 digit kickstart
Guys your the best, I want that book, Thanks for inspire me all the time
A good artist is the one that inspires, you are those ones.
Cheers.
When can I buy the book
This is sure to be one scary collectors item!
Even if you can’t back it, will you still be able to get a copy of the book?
This are fantastic news. I´m pretty sure there are a lot people around the world like me who can´t wait to get this book in their sticky fingers. 40 bucks for shipping to europe is quite a lot is there maybe an option to get the package without tracking for a cheaper amount so I can spend more money for your cool artwork instead of FedEx? Anyway I have to get the Monster Volume still I don´t know what package…
The $40 dollar price-tag for shipping to Europe is the only thing keeping me from backing this….I would love to give you guys $65 for the Super Villain package but add $40 to that and it makes a hefty $105…..I would be paying FedEx nearly as much as I would pay you!
FedEx doesnot draw cool creatures and space-men…..
Greetings! Is there a way to purchase multiple copies as gifts? Kickstart only seems to allow one funding level. Thanks! – Paul.
Shipping truly is a killer. I would rather pay for a higher tier package than pay 30$ shipping. I NEED this book! No FedEx option maybe? Love this project!
I would love to backing you guys with the $65 Super Villain package. But to pay an additional $60 to deliver to Asia, ouch it’s way too expensive for me. Is there any delivery alternatives we can opt for?
AWESOME!! I am going to try desperately to get my hands on this! May I ask though where else the book will be available after Kickstarter? It’s quite expensive to ship all the way to South Africa – it’s beautiful down here but so damn far from everywhere else haha. If it’s not going to be available then I will have to make a plan and get it. I’ve been after your books from the start (and I’ve missed them all) so this one will be a definite for me.
wooow nice!
unfortunately 60$ shipping to germany is also to much for me…
Thanks for the interest in the book guys. Shipping Internationally is definitely a challenge due to weight. We have some more info available in Update# 2 here:

We’ll be continuing to look into shipping throughout the campaign. We’ll be sure to keep everyone posted. Thanks again!
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the speedy response. I read the link you sent through and can understand the costs and why they are as they are. I am trying to make a plan to get the book delivered to a friend in the US for me then I will hatch a cunning plan to get it into my eager hands in SA. I’ve been after your books for sometime, so I’m definitely getting this one come hell or high water. I have a few friends who would like as well but they may have to wait until it is available elsewhere first.
Is the book going to be available for purchase from anywhere else?
Thanks!!
Stuart
$40 shipping means no from me
Sorry.
Damn you for drawing such awesome robots, creatures and whatnot!
I had to order the super villain package….couldn’t resist, despite the shipping cost…
Anyway, seems like the kickstarter is a big succes so congrats with that!
Grtz,
Niels
I guess it’s a little expensive.. But I had to order the Super Villain Package.. I love your work and I think you deserve every penny! I think it will be worth the money!
Keep doing what you do!
Cheers,

can be sold through Amazon? I think of Russia to make a contribution I will not work.
Sorry, just like Asia, the shipping to Australia using Fedex is a blocker.
Oh no… I procrastinated on this and now it seems to be sold out! I have all your sketchbooks so far. Does this mean I will have no chance of owning this new one or will there be another way?
Are you going to get more books? I hope so, I really would like one. I’ve been watching and waiting and I just got my paycheck and it seems that I’ve missed it
I hope that this isn’t the case.
YES!!! I’m in! Got myself the signed book plus the 8″ x 12″ print! Thanks for making more available. I have learned my lesson and will not procrastinate again

Will this book be sold at CTN by any chance? I missed the kickstarter but would love a copy of the book.
