We’ve had a kind of dog-mascot thing going ever since we (me, Becky Dreistadt, Frank Gibson, KC Green, Ananth Hirsh, Yuko Ota, and George Rohac) started this project in 2012! Really great to return to Benign Kingdom after a couple of years and make some cool new books happen.
basically WE BACK BABY
Here’s the cover art from my 2012 Benign Kingdom book, and from my NEW BOOK that you can preorder now on Kickstarter!
A sense of continuity between the images! I’m still doing the same sort of work, but hopefully smarter and better and I’m in a different place than I was in 2012. Benign Kingdom was itself is in a very new place, and we’re very excited about the triumphant return that this Kickstarter represents.
An assortment of folks & critters of the sort that will appear in my upcoming Benign Kingdom book.
The Kickstarter for this art book series, featuring me and Becky Dreistadt and Dustin Harbin and Meredith Gran, has just ONE WEEK LEFT!! It’s not to goal yet, and we really need your help to make this thing happen!!!
Here’s a bunch of the assets I made for the new Benign Kingdom Kickstarter! I like when everything is shiny and matches!!!
My art book in this series is going to have a wide range of mostly-unpublished work. I’m kind of overdue for a book of miscellaneous color art, I think….
Here’s a selection of the art that’ll be in my new Benign Kingdom art book! The Kickstarter for my book, in a series with Becky, Meredith, and Dustin, is going on RIGHT NOW and I hope you’ll have a look!
I very rarely go back and look at all the stuff I’ve made like this, but there’s a lot of it and a lot of different kinds of it. Here’s an angel, a devil, a marble, a bad-luck dog, a robot, some Homestucks, an orrery/armillary, a goblin, a gnome, a sun god.
Thank you for helping to spread the word, friends!
I have a NEW ART BOOK in this series now on Kickstarter!
This is the cover art for my NEW BENIGN KINGDOM ART BOOK. We just launched the Kickstarter for the first Benign Kingdom publication in a few years: a set of 32-page art books by Meredith Gran, Dustin Harbin, Becky Dreistadt, and myself. (Becky and I did Benign Kingdom art books back in 2012, too)
Thank you for having a look and spreading the word!! we back baby
This is the first beast.
The Exquisite Beast is a project that Yuko Ota and myself, Evan Dahm, are starting. Beginning with this creature drawn by me, we will take turns drawing future creatures, each one representing a visible step in a theoretical evolutionary process. We’ll play with the aesthetic of living things and the process of natural selection, and may or may not end up with a biologically plausible series of beasts.
In the future, Yuko’s monsters will go up on every Friday, and mine will go up on every Tuesday. Thanks for looking!
This is a new project by me and Yuko! Check it out and follow the blog!! It will go weird places!
More process on the Benign Kingdom print. Inks are now done! And you will see them in full soon.
