I wrote a Flesk newsletter that was sent out yesterday. It covers a pair of Flesk updates. The first is about our The Art of Brom Kickstarter campaign ending this Friday at noon PST. The second is about our exhibiting at APE with Craig Elliott, Mark Schultz and William Stout.
The Art of Brom on Kickstarter
I would like express my most sincere thanks to all of those who have supported us with our The Art of Brom Kickstarter campaign. Brom and I are thrilled with how well it has been received. The passion on display by those who have made a pledge is infectious. For instance, Brom is currently working on new paintings for the book, while I am reviewing various paper stocks and materials to make sure this book will be extra special.
As a reminder, the campaign ends this Friday at noon PST. If you are interested in pledging your support, you have just a couple of days left. Everyone who orders a Brom book through Kickstarter will receive the exclusive Brom bonus portfolio which includes five signed prints, along with being included in the acknowledgments, and will be among the first to receive the book. And thanks to the success of the campaign, we’ve upgraded the binding on the Publisher and Deluxe editions. Both of these versions will only be available direct from Flesk and Brom. There will be a trade edition available in August 2013.

Flesk Exhibiting at the Alternate Press Expo (APE) in San Francisco, October 13th and 14th.
APE is a terrific show that does an excellent job of focusing on artists and creators. Since this show always does well for us, and with how well the organizers treat us, I have expanded our Flesk area to three tables this year. We have an excellent location near the front entrance again (Table #212, 213 and 214).
Mark Schultz (Xenozoic and Various Drawings series), William Stout (Hallucinations, Inspirations and Dinosaur Discoveries) and Craig Elliott (The Art of Craig Elliott) will be joining us. Each creator will be happy to sign your goodies and chat with you. They will have originals, prints and other unique items with them as well. We will have all of our Flesk books that are in print for you to look at. I will be bringing along more of our 10th Anniversary postcard sets to give away to all of our customers and will have other free promotional material on hand. I will also have a few boxes of dinged books at ridiculously low prices. We look forward to seeing you!

Thanks again to you all.
Best,
John

“The Art of Brom” on Kickstarter
The new book, James Bama: Personal Works has arrived. We are starting to ship our pre-orders today. Jim Bama and I are delighted with how the book has turned out. We are eager for this new collection of his rarely seen private works to get into your hands.
All orders direct from Flesk come with an 8.5 x 11 inch print of “Winter on Trout Creek.” This print featuring Bama’s painting of a buffalo walking in a snowstorm comes on 80 lb. cover premium stock matt paper and is suitable from framing. A special thanks goes to Jim Bama for making this suggestion and letting us include the print.
