Wildly popular Japanese artist Kaneoya Sachiko is gearing up for her first North American release.
The Art of Kaneoya Sachiko has just gone live on Kickstarter, with a 15-day barnstormer of a funding period. It’s on a mission to greenlight a 224-page volume of work, hand-selected by the artist herself, and spanning over a decade of her career. Iron Circus Comics, the publisher famed for earning over one million dollars on Kickstarter over the span of 15 comic and comics-related projects, has chosen Kaneoya as the subject of their first art book release ever, and are promising a true object d'art in return for backer cash: gloss, reticulation, and gilded edges, along with an as-yet-to-be-announced bonus exclusively for Kickstarter backers.
The book contains tons of previously-unpublished work, plus a foreword from Kaneoya herself. Whether you’re a longtime fan of this artist’s compelling and provocative output, or brand-new to her uniquely mesmerizing work, there’s a lot to see here.
Check it out now on Kickstarter! Miss the project’s ultra-brief two-week funding period, and you’ll have to wait for the book to hit stores in September… and miss out on those mysterious stretch goals.
