Privateer Press Announces Kickstarter For Art Book
December 21, 2018 by stvitusdancern
Privateer Press has announced that they will be going to Kickstarter in January of 2019 to help create a book, Art of Privateer Press.
It appears to be a project long in the making and as they say a book such as this is a labor of love and you do not expect to make much of a profit from it and hope to recoup your production costs.
According to Privateer Press their idea behind the book is this:
The Art of Privateer Press will be a 9˝ x 11 7/8˝ hardback book (dimensions of final may vary), printed in portrait orientation on 80# paper with a spot-varnish finish on the cover. A foreword penned by Privateer’s founding owner and Chief Creative Officer Matt Wilson will detail Privateer’s history and its approach to visual creation.
Between the foreword and the final dedication will be wall-to-wall illustrations featuring the best images from all of Privateer’s worlds and games, including the Iron Kingdoms, WARMACHINE, HORDES, Monsterpocalypse, LEVEL 7, Skull Island eXpeditions fiction, and more. The Art of Privateer Press will include hundreds of images from acclaimed artists such as Andrea Uderzo, Susan Luo, Svetlin Velinov, Johan Grenier, Néstor Ossandón, and many, many other talented individuals who have contributed to Privateer’s artwork over the years. The book will be a minimum of 148 pages in length, but how big it can get will only be up to our backers…and the limits of physical reality.
We here at the US Studio are big fans of art books, anytime that Dawn get get her hands on one she does.
Would this be something you would like to have in your collection?

Well this is interesting. It’s not every day that you see art book in KS.
Ok, I’m wondering if the sarcasm isn’t showing up on the internet here.
Looking forward to this – the artwork is what initially attracted me to Privateer Press
That’s how I first found Warmachine! The art jumped out at me from the internet and I had to find more like it. Thus I discovered Warmachine and my wallet has never forgiven me!
I don’t quite understand why they don’t just do a preorder for it.
Depending on price and how long they take to bring it out I will most likely order one!
Ooh nice I have a number of art books with artists book cover work and the like look to be a contender to add to the collection.
I am keen for this, Privateer’s art is truly lovely and will break my “no new kickstarters” rule for it, …. well okay it has become more of a guideline than a rule …….. look I was “Kickstsrter Klean” for 10 months ……. don’t look at me that way ……. STOP JUDGING ME!!!!!!
They really should just do a preorder for this and not a “kickstarter”. They have more then enough money to get this off the ground them selves. For books like these use mainly OLD art with some rough drafts of stuff. There will be Very Little new art that would be needed to be paid for. Could they just be honest with use about this? It would be nice.
