Craig Russell, plus AN EVENING WITH P. CRAIG RUSSELL—at the artist's home! Backers will begin the evening with a pre-dinner party in Craig’s art gallery—enjoy refreshments and conversation in the midst of great original works by Burne Hogarth, Chester Gould, Wally Wood, Mike Mignola and Barry Smith. This will be followed by a beautiful sit-down dinner, prepared by P. Craig Russell himself, who will be seated at the head of the table. After dessert, backers will be the special guests at a piano musicale performed in the artist’s living room. If you think that Craig can draw . . . wait until you hear him play! PORTIONS OF THE EVENING WILL BE FILMED FOR A SEGMENT OF THE SERIES 2 DVD! That's right, in addition to backing this project, you will also be APPEARING in it! Backers are responsible for their own travel, lodging and related costs. This amazing event will take place on Saturday, September 29, 2012 in Kent, Ohio. Please keep in mind that this pledge is non-refundable, so be certain that you can make it here on that date in time for the evening's festivities.

Backers get the Guide to Graphic Storytelling Series 1 and 2 DVDs, the signed & numbered Series 2 Study Guide, the Elric fine art Giclée print personally signed by P. Craig Russell, plus an ORIGINAL 11 by 17” black and white illustration by P. Craig Russell! Craig will do a single character illustration of your choice of the following: Killraven, Batman, Conan, Elric, Siegfried (from The Ring of the Nibelung), Doctor Strange or The Sandman—or you can allow Craig to choose the character and/or subject (which we heartily recommend). Craig does not accept commissions, so this is a rare chance to get an amazing piece of original comic art. A sample of the type of piece that Craig will do is pictured under the "About This Project" section. Expected delivery will be by December, 2012--just in time for Christmas!
