RE: FUTURE OF RUDE DUDE PRODUCTIONS, llc
I am truly sorry to hear of your financial troubles and the news on Rude Dude productions. I have followed your work since the early days of "Nexus" and First comics and I personally find it a sad statement for the genre and field of sequential art and storytelling that an artist of your talent and calibre has had the difficulty that you have had. You most likely do not remember me but I fianlly got to meet you and your wife at this years MegaCon in Orlando, Florida, I knew you were a busy man but still you were courteous and kind.
I have been drawing professionally for a few years now mostly small press work but I hope to someday experience a small portion of fame and success that you have in your career.
I wish you and your family the best of luck and may success shine again in the near future...
Sincerely,
Shawn Surface
SURFACE ART STUDIOS.

Steve, I'm reading SUPERMAN COVER TO COVER and I just want to mention how much I dig that cover for LEGENDS OF THE UNIVERSE. I missed the issue when it came out in 1999 but that cover is hot!

The Rude Abides!!

Thanks for the add! I just read the new copy of SKETCH magazine and it was really inspiring to hear about how you are handling being your own boss and managing your own art company. I can relate!

[ Posted by Steve_Rude on Feb 22nd, 2008 12:55 AM ]... New moth for Free Comic Book Day. It's another greatest hits similar to Nexus with some behind the scenes and never before seen stuff thrown in for good measure. We're going to follow it up with a new 4 issue series, but won't be setting a release date until the pencils are completed on all 4 issues. Jaynelle Rude

Not sure if you check PMs, so I just thought I'd repeat my last message on the comments:

If you are still interested we'd love to have you over to the UK next year as our special guest at the show. The dates are 4th and 5th October.

Please PM or email us if you're still interested in attending.

all the best,
