War and Peace sketchbooks are now available!



Hey everyone! 

We got the sketchbooks in from the printer and I couldn't be happier! The quality is fantastic, I'm thrilled with how everything came out. The folks at Story Supply Co. did a great job putting this together, and are now doing a great job fulfilling orders! I'm already hearing from folks who ordered during the pre-order period and have received their sketchbooks.

I've been busily signing and sketching up the pre-orders. Check it out! 

Some custom sketch orders:



Some "random sketch" orders: 






I'm hearing from folks who want signed or sketched in books but missed the preorder period. I'm sorry if you missed out on the chance to get a sketched or signed edition. The pre-order period can't last forever. I wish it could, but I'd have to quit my job just to keep sketching and signing these things! 

We do have a bit of good news on that front! I'll be signing and sketching at upcoming sketchbook events. The first will be our launch party at Hive Artspace in York City, PA this Friday (July 1st) starting at 5pm. 

More events are in the works, and I'll post here when the time comes. 

Thanks to EVERYONE who supported this project with your pre-orders! I can't thank you enough! You helped make the launch of this line a big success! THANK YOU!! 

To everyone else out there: Please support this creator owned project of mine! Not only will you get TWO sketchbooks from each set (with both the War and Peace covers) but for each set sold we donate one free sketchbook to a young artist in a struggling city school art program. You'll help to provide a sketchbook to a kid with ideas! 

Order right here by clicking the icon at the top right of this page, or go to the Story Supply Co. store - http://www.storysupplyco.com/products/war-and-peace-by-mike-hawthorne

And thank you! 

Best,
Mike

Today is the day!




Today is the DAY! We're to get the sketchbooks from the printer today! I want to thank EVERYONE that pre-ordered! You're the absolute best! 
I'll begin signing and sketching in the sketchbooks this weekend & Story SupplyCo. will start shipping orders very soon! 
For everyone that wants a set of sketchbooks, you can now buy them here, or using the widget right here on the blog, at the top right hand side. 
Support this line so we can support young artists! For every set you buy we will donate one sketchbook to a student in need. 
Thanks again to everyone!
Best,
Mike

Last chance!




Hey everyone! 
It's official, the War & Peace editions of my sketchbook collaboration with Story Supply Co. is at the printer! That means that the pre-order period, and your chance to get the sketchbook signed or sketched in by me, is almost gone! 
The pre-order period is officially over on Monday, June 20th, so if you want to secure a set your time is running out. Get on it! After this there is no guarantee you'll be able to get a signed or sketched-in edition (unless you can make it to one of our upcoming events).

Pre-order here, or just use the button here on the site at the top right hand side. 

Best!
Mike
