Hey friends! 💙
The love you showed Steve for his birthday was INCREDIBLE. You literally helped keep our lights on — including one amazing supporter who commissioned $5,000 worth of art (you know who you are!).
Because YOU made this happen, we’re turning the birthday sale into a THANK YOU sale —
20% off everything (even commissions!) through Sunday. 👉www.steverude.com

A quick note from Steve:
“After 45 years of Nexus, you all continue to amaze me.
Jaynelle does the work of eight people keeping this studio running, and I just want to draw.
But what makes it all worthwhile? Our studio family.
Every Saturday stream, every Patreon member — you’re keeping independent art alive.
See you Saturday at 1:30pm — let’s create something amazing together.”
🎥 Livestream news (and a little challenge!)
Steve really wants to start doing full demos during our weekly livestreams.
Our amazing cameraman drives over an hour each week to make this happen — and if we can raise $100 during the stream to cover his costs, Steve will do the ENTIRE demo live, start to finish.
And huge thanks, as always, to our Patreon family — you truly make this possible:
