MemberNoobNov-24-2013 3:18 AMHey all I am new here and I figured I would join this community because it seems like this is the most active blade runner forum on the internet? Unless I am wrong about this then maybe others can tell me what other Blade Runner forums are bigger BUT either way I wanted to create this thread because I found something that Blade Runner Fans might want to check out!
So my friend send me this link via email and I am glad he did because he is a blade runner fan like myself but this link he sent me is a very unique project book! I have already pledged because the artwork is PHENOMENAL and to top it off the goal has already been reached, so this means that the Blade Runner Zine Art Book is going to be released no matter what!
But if you are curious about this Blade Runner Zine project, click on the link below for more info and trust me this is worth a look:
Description:
[b]Blade Runner-inspired artwork from 25 illustrators, collected in a risographed anthology booklet.[/b]

[b]Replicants unite! We're bringing you a fan-made tribute to one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. Known for its futuristic, dystopian aesthetic, the Blade Runner universe provides the perfect fodder for a collaborative art project. In an off-world mining colony, twenty-five of us illustrators have taken up the challenge, and plan to collect our work in a super high-quality booklet. But we need your help to ensure it reaches Earth.[/b]

[b]I had no idea what "Risographed" means but I did a little research and now I understand it! Here is the link if you want to get a better idea of what "Risograph" is all about:[/b]

[b]So...What do you think Blade Runner fans??? I am not the creator of that project but I figured I could spread the news about this Blade Runner book project to other Blade Runner fans because I have no idea if other Blade Runner fans know about this project or not.[/b]

[b]The best part about this project is that it has ALREADY reached the funding goal so quickly in under 48 hours after it went live on 11/21 which is insane but it also proves that there are plenty of Blade Runner fans out in the wild to this day!!
So no matter what this Blade Runner Zine art book will be releasing soon because the delivery date for the Blade Runner Zine art book says January 2014 and As of today on 11/24/2013 there is STILL 18 days left before the project ends![/b]

[b]I've already pledged $13 bucks since that is a freaking STEAL for a physical copy of the book because I have pledged on other projects such as video games and sometimes the project creator will add a book filled with art designs, concepts, etc all that jazz but the cost of the book is sometimes between 50-100 bucks! So I am glad that this Blade Runner Zine Book is not selling for insane prices but $13 is just a remarkable low price. I may end up increasing my pledge for 2 copies of the book because I want to give the extra copy to my blade runner friend who first told me about this Blade Runner Zine project[/b]

[b]Sorry for the long post folks! As you can see I am a bit excited about this book because Blade Runner is still one of my favorite movies of all time, hands down![/b]
