Transmissions 2 - Robot art book by Matt Dixon
£10,947

Hello! My name is Matt Dixon and I'm an illustrator. I paint all kinds of things for my clients, who include Wizards of the Coast, Electronic Arts, Team Rock and Blizzard, but my favourite subject matter is robots.
I self published Transmissions, a collection of my robot art, in 2013. It was really satisfying to see my rusty little creations gathered together inside a book and it's been a feature of my table at comic conventions ever since. I have painted many more robots since then, so now it's time to publish a second book!
Transmissions 2 will be a companion to the first book and will follow the same format; A4 size, 32 pages in full colour and perfect bound with a laminated soft cover. It will include single paintings and sequential artwork.
Wow. We've unlocked both stretch goals! This is amazing and quite unexpected! Limited rewards are all gone now too. Unfortunately I cannot add more sketch slots as it will throw the project schedule out. Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who has backed the project so far, it really is wonderful to know that my little robots have so many friends!
Why Kickstarter? The first book took seven years to complete. Most of the work for Transmissions 2 is already in place but a successful Kickstarter campaign will allow me to clear my schedule of other commitments long enough to complete the remaining artwork and layout more quickly, and cover the printing costs. We'll have the book in our hands in time for Christmas!

For rewards with prints, you may choose a print of the cover artwork from either book. Prints can be signed on the front or back. ( Or not at all! )
My robot artwork is very close to my heart. It's wonderful to see how people react to the images and I can't wait to share all the work for Transmissions 2. I hope you'll consider backing this project and help make Transmissions 2 a reality.

Risks and challenges
There are few risks associated with this project. I have self published several books and will be using my regular, trusted printer. Most of the work for Transmissions 2 is already complete, with the remaining art planned out. I am confident that my schedule will allow me to complete the book and deliver pledge rewards on time.
