Hi all, for anyone who may not have seen over on social media, I am once more recovering from Brain Surgery due to a recurrence of my tumor. Followup treatment will involve more surgery, radiation, and or chemo (we are still awaiting some answers) but no matter what, I have successfully packed ALL orders and have given them over to family who will be sending them out in batches. It will likely be a slow process to get them all out and in the mail but rest assured that they ARE on the way! I cannot guarantee deliveey before the holiday at this time, unfortunately, especially for international orders.
Thank you again for your support!

Books are in!

Now THAT is a box full of books!
Yup, they're here (as well as the postcard packs!)
Firstly I wanted to thank you all so much for your patience and support of this project! Secondly I wanted to let everyone know that I will be slightly delayed in getting all of the books mailed out to everyone due to some tight scheduling in between my full time job and the art vending schedule for spooky season/the holidays.
I will be able to get these packaged up and sent out starting in November and should be able to get everything taken care of before the end of that month!
For now I will be starting in on the original sketches and surviving the art market season. In the meantime, if you find yourself in Salem, MA on Halloweekend, please try to find me in Salem Common and say hello! I'd love to thank you in person for helping me make this book a reality.
Best,

Print Proof

Hi all!
Just letting you know I've got the first proof of the book!
Here is a quick flip through.
Well... almost there.
*this was just a misprint, there was also a correctly printed version together in the package, and it looks great! Final order has been put in and the books, prints, postcards and bookmarks should all be ready to ship out starting in October! (Sketches may take a little longer to get out the door but I'll keep you updated!)

Hi all!
Just giving everyone an update on progress.
In laying out the book I had discovered that there was room for a few more paintings... AND I just put the finishing touches on the last of them!
Next step is photographing them and inserting them into their respective spots in the layout. From there the books are ready to print!
In the next few days I will update once more to let everyone know when the books have been sent to the printer and any estimates on arrival.
I am also working on the add ons and postcard pack which should all go to the printer within a similar time frame.
I am expecting to be a bit ahead of schedule with things and will be able to start fulfilling orders starting in September! (Sketched in books may take a little longer)
Below is a quick little timelapse of one of the new paintings. No sound on this yet but stay tuned to my Patreon in the next few weeks and all the timelapses will be posted with some kind of accompaniment.
Stay tuned!

Pre-Order Store Open - Surveys Coming Soon

Hi all!
Just wanted to give you all a heads up that my pre-order store has been opened (https://pickmansmodel.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders) and that I will be sending out initial surveys soon.
I am still finishing up a few new paintings for the book and doing some final edits to the layout so you will have plenty of time to lock in orders and shipping addresses before things are printed and shipped.
I also want to note that I am including the Nightmare Gallery stretch goal to all pledge levels that include it (we were so close to funding it I decided to just go for it!).
I have also added some additional print options for the FROTHING tier as well as add ons for anyone (check out the bookmark!)
In the meantime, please do share the store with any friends who may have missed out!
Thanks again!!
-Max
