Trodax Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 This is a bit of an oddball, but I thought it was cool enough to mention. Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag is releasing two books of his artwork, which is a blend of pastoral Swedish countryside with sci-fi elements (as he says in the video, he's painting the landscape he grew up in, and where he as a kid dreamed of robots and dinosaurs). To be honest, I don't think I will be backing; I think it looks really neat, but am just not that into artbooks, at least not enough to justify the cost. I'm also not sure how great the international appeal will be, as a big part of what makes this fun for me is that the images really, really convey the feeling of the country I grew up in, Sweden in the 80'ies. But have a look at it and see what you think! The publisher is Free League Publishing, the creator of Mutant: Year Zero, a RPG set in a near-future post-apocalyptic Sweden, which has just recently been translated to English by Modiphius Entertainment (although I believe the English version is instead set in London/New York). https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cabinetentertainment/simon-stalenhags-tales-from-the-loop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arc 724 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Neato! I really like this art style. Good stuff but I think his pricing is way to high. Not to mention that a T-Shirt is $30 and a mug is $20... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
