2020 HOLIDAY UPDATE
Thank you for the overwhelming support this year.
We knew 2020 would be busy, kicking off with two new covers including Stormlight art, our largest growing fandom. Even treading cautiously through uncertain times, this year has continued to surprise us.
We have been printing and shipping orders since mid-November. We appreciate everyone’s patience through the release of 3 new prints. While we’ve had a few unexpected pauses due to supply chain disruption of paper and ink, we are currently working through the last remaining orders before 12-16″ of snow arrives in Connecticut tomorrow.
PLAYMATS AND GAMING ACCESSORIES
We’re pleased to announce officially licensed gaming accessories featuring art by Michael Whelan.
Whether you’re a tabletop or digital gamer, we’ve got you covered with a new line from Inked Gaming. Available products include playmats (up to 48″ x 48″), dice bags, gaming crates, mousepads, and tote bags.
We’re starting with a selection of art that includes RHYTHM OF WAR and FAHRENHEIT 451—Michael’s latest covers—along with fan favorites THE WAY OF KINGS, SHALLAN, and FILED TEETH. We’ll be expanding the line with new images so stay tuned for more art.
IN CONVERSATION WITH BRANDON SANDERSON
Michael Whelan had the opportunity to sit down for a remote video interview with both Brandon Sanderson and Isaac Stewart to talk about RHYTHM OF WAR. Michael offered a sneak peak of some preliminary art created for the new cover. While this was filmed for the virtual book release, it’s available now for everyone to watch on Brandon’s YouTube channel.
And if you haven’t made it to the end of the conversation yet, Brandon wanted to let you know that prints of the cover art are now available in our shop!
FALL UPDATE: NEW PRINTS AND ORIGINAL ART
We’ve seen a steady flow of questions regarding Michael’s latest cover illustrations so I thought I’d provide an update for the upcoming holiday season.
We were intending to offer prints of both FAHRENHEIT 451 and long time fan-favorite DESCENT (cover for The Martian Chronicles) for Ray Bradbury’s centennial in August, but this year has been challenging in so many ways. We will finally release these prints during the holidays (likely with our Cyber Monday email right after Thanksgiving).
We will be offering prints of RHYTHM OF WAR with the same size options as the others in the Stormlight series (18×24 and 24×36). The timing will coincide with the release of the book so expect the prints to drop as the book lays down on November 17.
RHYTHM OF WAR DESKTOP WALLPAPER
The Stormlight Archive is something special. We see fan excitement spill over with every cover reveal. That’s why we’re continuing the tradition of offering high resolution desktop wallpaper of the covers
