Ten reasons to buy my new artbook (and three reasons not to)

'Hétérotopie: Reflections from a New Era of Image Crafting'

"I know what you're wondering: What could possibly make an art book worth treasuring forever? Let me count the ways! Between the fantastical worlds you'll explore, the exclusive illustrations you won’t find anywhere else, and the breakthrough technology that brings it all together—this book is a collector’s dream.

Here are ten very compelling reasons to add this beautiful book to your life:

  1. Fantastical Illustrations: These aren't just pictures; they’re portals. Forget reality—my book takes you to places that don't exist, can’t exist, but should exist. Get ready to be whisked away into otherworldly landscapes, spaces and cities of the imagination.

  2. It’s Danish!: My publisher is Danish, and we all know Denmark is like the VIP room of storytelling. Their fairytales, their design...it's all top-tier. I like to think my illustrations are like visual stories, worthy of such a legacy.

  3. Singular Stories: This isn’t just pretty pictures. Each piece tells a story. Some will make you wonder, some will make you question the meaning of life, and some will just make you glad you aren’t one of the characters.

  4. Exclusive Content: You won’t find this work anywhere else. Not in a gallery. Not in a random Reddit thread. For less than the price of a single framed print, you can have over 100 illustrations to study, enjoy, and be transported into.

  5. Groundbreaking Technology: We’re living in an exciting era where AI and art are merging, creating a whole new visual language. I’ve embraced this new tech, and I can’t wait for you to see how it’s pushing the boundaries of illustration.

  6. Good Karma Alert: Supporting artists isn't just cool, it's cosmic. Buy the book, feel the universe smile upon you. It’s like planting a tree, but with more color.

  7. Coffee Table Bragging Rights: This book doesn’t just sit there. It elevates your living room, your bookshelf, your lap—wherever you place it. It practically begs for a glass of red wine and a deep conversation.

  8. New and Exciting: While some artists are busy painting the same bowl of fruit, I’m out here creating fresh, never-before-seen works. This is art for the bold, the curious, and the easily bored.

  9. Makes You Seem Deep: Leave this book open when guests come over. Trust me, they’ll think you’re philosophical and imaginative, even if you’re just avoiding eye contact and snacking on chips.

  10. Because I Made It: Let’s not beat around the bush. I put my heart, soul, and a considerable number of cups of coffee into this. By buying it, you’re not just supporting the arts—you’re supporting me, and I can’t thank you enough.

And now, just to keep things real:

Three reasons NOT to buy this book:

  1. If you’re allergic to daydreaming. Seriously, the book will make you drift off and away.

  2. If you think reality is perfectly fine the way it is (spoiler: it isn’t).

  3. If you believe that supporting artists is bad karma (which, let’s be honest, is probably a myth).

Now, yes, it’s priced at over $100, but that's because it’s more than a book—it’s an adventure in your hands. There is a ten-percent discount with the presale purchase. The price also includes shipping, with Fedex, - which isn’t cheap.

To be completely transparent, I need to reach a certain number of books (25) sold during the presale campaign to ensure publication. I will be very grateful to everyone who supports me with a purchase - it doesn’t go unnoticed and certainly isn’t unappreciated. In fact, your name will be included on our patrons’ page printed in the back of the book.

Still here? Excellent! The book is waiting for you, just a click away from adding some fantastical flair to your life. You won’t regret it (and neither will your coffee table).

Consider buying the book. I think you’ll enjoy it.

With much excitement and a splash of the fantastical,
Steve
