NEW Kickstarter Reward: David Petersen Prints
I am very excited to announce a new Reward tier for the Runners Kickstarter project that features the amazing artwork of good friend and Mouse Guard creator David Petersen. I’m a huge fan of his work and he is a fan of Runners as well, so a while back, we traded pinups. He did an awesome pinup of the flashback Runners crew from volume 1: Bad Goods. I never had the chance to include that with the first graphic novel, so I decided to include it in the printing of the new one. But since all the other pinups in the new book have a snow theme, David was generous enough to do a SECOND pinup, this time featuring the crew in snow gear!
When I told David about my Kickstarter project, he very graciously suggested the option of including prints of his two pinups as reward items. Personally, I love the idea of making these available to fans of David’s work, and he was excited about the idea of helping me with my campaign, so there is now a new $49 Reward, appropriately called the “Guard” level, that includes both of his pinups as 11″ x 17″ prints.
These prints are also available as add-ons for backers of other tiers who would like to include either (or both) of his prints with their current rewards.
These are really beautiful.
Any chance of David Peters doing a short backup/bonus story for Runners in the future?
That would be a lot of fun to see! My guess is that he’s pretty busy these days with Mouse Guard, but I’ll definitely keep the thought in mind…
Runners Universe has become my “Star Wars”, at least until 2015… and if the new movies suck, then yeah, Runners = Star Wars forever.
