Frank Cho came up a big idea. So big in fact that we decided to add five additional tiers to our Frank Cho Kickstarter campaign.

We are pleased to announce the Gallery Edition of Frank Cho’s “Drawing Beautiful Women.” This massive edition will be 12 inches wide by 17 inches tall. The Gallery Edition will feature a new oil painting of a reclining nude woman on the printed boards cover. (The cover sample shows the painting and rough design, both of which are in progress.)
This oversized version will meet the high standards of the discerning collector, plus benefit the student by showcasing the artwork at a large scale, many in its original size. This format will allow for a close and personal study of Cho’s line and brush strokes. Plus it makes a nifty tray to serve various beverages of your choice.
There are three offerings for this book.
Gallery Edition
The Gallery Edition hardcover with an extra 16 pages is 128 pages, 12×17 inches. At $150, you get the extra 16-page section which includes bonus artwork and an exclusive Frank Cho interview, plus an alternate designed cover featuring a new painting of a nude woman. This is only available from Flesk and Cho. This edition will not be available through the book trade.
Deluxe Gallery Edition
The Deluxe Gallery Edition hardcover is 130 pages, 12×17 inches. Each copy comes signed on a special bound-in signature page which features a new piece of art. The book is hand numbered with only 500 being available. At $200, you get the extra 16-page section which includes bonus artwork and an exclusive Frank Cho interview, plus an alternate designed cover featuring a new painting of a nude woman. This is only available from Flesk and Cho. This edition will not be available through the book trade.
Deluxe Gallery Edition with Original Art
This copy of the Deluxe Gallery Edition includes an original ballpoint-pen drawing by Frank Cho of a woman on a blank page inside the book. Only three copies are available with the price of $5000 apiece.
Adding an entire new edition to our campaign adds a whole new risk factor for us since the printing for this new edition will be quite expensive. But, it’s a dream edition for us, and one in which we hope will have your support.
Thanks again to everyone who has supported us!

Hi John,
Damn… I fully understand your reasons for not accepting overseas shipping this time, but man… This looks like another great title that I would really have liked to buy via the kickstarter campaign!
And now a Deluxe Gallery Edition… It really would be nice to be able to buy such a book via the kickstarter campaign!
I wish you and Frank Cho the best of luck with the kickstarter campaign, and I do hope that it will be possible for us oversea’rs to be able to buy a copy of the Deluxe Gallery Edition from Flesk Publications at a later date.
Best wishes, Christmas greetings and wishes for the New Year
from Rasmus Larsen, Denmark
Hi Rasmus, it’s always nice to hear from you. I’ll have the books up on the Flesk website next fall for international purchase. All the best to you and yours for the holidays. –John
