Congratulations, everyone! You have cracked the first stretch goal!
We have now added a set of six quality, over-sized artcards featuring the work of Seyni N'diaye as an Add-On that you can include in your pledge by increasing your pledge total by $8 (done through the "Manage your pledge" feature). You'll be able to select this option specifically once in the pledge manager.
The next stretch goal will be an Upgrade – adding the ribbon bookmarks to all three volumes. The bookmarks are very helpful - keeping track of where you are, or returning you to the page that is inspiring you current project!
Then it is on to the first Freebie stretch goal. When we reach $32,000, we'll unlock a great PDF from Chris Suhre where he talks about the decorative elements he uses to frame some of his awesome dioramas. This PDF will be sent out to all backers as we get close to fulfilling the Kickstarter.
Thank you all again!
Cheers
Dave and THE ART OF... team

Chris, Tommie, Seyni, and I would like to thank you all for making these books a reality!
Following the success of last year's campaign, we knew we had the support of a great community of painters who are as interested in the "why" of painting as much as the "what" and "how".
Some key things I'd like to mention about the campaign, so that you can pass on the information to any friends who are thinking about pledging:
• The books are starting out as hardcover and with silver-foil lettering on the covers. We wanted to make sure that was now standard for all the books in the series.
• Volumes 1-3 are not going to be party of this campaign, mainly because they are currently available in retailers and online. Here's a great link to find out where you can get them from:

No sense in waiting until next year, when you can be reading them now :)
• We have a slipcase for Volumes 4-6 planned as a stretch goal. This will create two new pledge levels so there'll be less confusion at the end of the campaign and into the pledge manager.
• The slipcase for Volumes 1-3 was a Kickstarter exclusive, that we can hopefully reprint and offer as an Add-On, should we reach that stretch goal.
If you have any questions at all as we go through the campaign, feel free to drop them in an update, in the main page, or message me here on Kickstarter.
Thank you!
Dave, and THE ART OF... team
