Stranski Kickstarter is 100% COMPLETE! And here's what's coming next...!

And we're DONE! The sketches have all been drawn, the books signed, and the packages sent! As promised, all books will be with you by the end of August, if you don't have them already!

SPECIAL NOTE:
There are a few of you who have still not filled in your surveys, which may be because the original Kickstarter message asking you to do so went into your spam folder. I'll be contacting those of you that this applies to via email over the next week, just to remind you to log in to kickstarter, go to your Art of Stranski section, and fill in your delivery details.

A HUGE thank you to you all for making this Kickstarter into such a massive success, I have LOVED this entire process!

I can now reveal that launching in SEPTEMBER I'll be once again opening up the Stranski Online Print shop for just 30 days - announcement coming soon with all the designs which will be available!

And for those of you who want to start collecting our comic books, but can't get them in your country, we'll be offering many of our titles in the MONKEY NUTS KICKSTARTER, launching in OCTOBER! See below :)
