2013 SKETCHBOOK LIVE ON KICKSTARTER


We're excited to announce that our 2013 Sketchbook presale has launched on Kickstarter!  Unlike previous years, it's all or nothing -- if we don't make our goal, we don't make our sketchbook!  We've also brought on board a professional designer to ensure deadlines are met and give the book the classy design it deserves.

Explore our rewards below.  Questions and comments are always welcome.  I think we've put together some awesome incentives!
