Lightbox Expo 2024 done!

Had a great time at Lightbox Expo 2024, met so many great people, sold out of all the books I brought to the show, and now I am exhausted with a half working voice and hope to get some serious rest after tonight. Thanks to everyone who came by to say hi!

Lightbox Expo 2024

Final con of the year. And will have a bunch of copies of the Megastructure book + Bonus book for sale. If you're in the Los Angeles area this friday-sunday, come by and say hi!

All Megastructure Books Shipped!

Great news! The books arrived at the distributor, and as of yesterday have all shipped to customers! I'm so happy Megastructures was popular enough to warrant a second printing. Once the dust settles, I'll put any leftovers up on my store, and will notify people here

Concept Art Association's Gallery Show

Had the honor of getting some artwork in the Concept Art Association's Gallery Show in Seattle. The art is up for a month, so if you're in the area, here's the info: https://www.conceptartassociation.com/gallery-show-members24 A really good mix of concept art in terms of style and student vs professionals.

Megastructure Postcards

With the impending arrival of the Megastructure books, I've started making the postcards for one of the Kickstarter reward tiers, each one hand written and unique. Should start mailing them in the next couple of weeks.

The Boat Has Left For New York!

Great news folk, the boat with the megastructures books has left the port. For those interested, follow this link to watch the cargo ship make it's journey to the USA, you can see where it's currently located here: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:6779119/mmsi:563141200/imo:9789972/vessel:YM_TRUST

It should arrive in New York City by Oct 3rd. Then approx a week to get through customs. And then it'll be brought by truck to the distribution center in New Jersey which is only a few miles south. So if all goes well, your books will be in the mail mid to late October.

Looking forward to getting you the books!

Shipping Process

Some pics of the Megastructure / Starship Hulls book shipping process. Hope to see them on the boat very soon, then after a 1 month trip across the ocean, customer shipping will start!

Advance Copies Have Arrived!

Good news! The advance copies of "Megastructures" and "Starship Hulls" have arrived, and they look great! All the books are printed and packaged, next step is loading them onto the cargo ship for their trip to the New Jersey distributor. Will post when they start their journey! 

New Print For Rose City Comicon

Will have a table at the Rose City Comicon 2024 in Oregon next month, and am celebrating with a new Megastructure print. The full view of the Alderson Disk! The print is 18" across, and replaces the small sized closeup from year's past that is now sold out. Hope to see you there!

Extra copies of Megastructures Book

Update! After the Megastructure book Kickstarter & aftersale sold out, I've managed to secure an additional 200 copies to be printed. So if you still want one, visit my gumroad store and pre-order now. We're still on schedule for an October release date. https://artofsoulburn.gumroad.com/
