After the very successful trilogy of the TEGN universe we can now present you the first published sketchbook of Even Mehl Amundsen. A selection of his works from 1500 scanned pages of his personal sketchbooks, that he made between 2009 and 2019.
Even Mehl Amundsen is a freelance concept artist from Norway who has worked for studios like Karakter, Ubisoft, Blizzard, Riot, Axis Animation, Blur, Guerilla Games, Wizards of the Coasts, Volta Studios, Ubisoft and many more. Besides that he has been working on his own world shown in TEGN. He travels a lot, teaching what he has learned in workshops and giving advice to newcomers. He is also teaching his process and approach through YouTube videos and his Patreon account.
366 days, 366 sketches telling 366 stories, some smaller, some greater. Finally published in beautiful artbooks. For one year Even Mehl Amundsen sketched one character each day and wrote one drop of a story which at the end of the year would become an epic sea of adventures. After a successful Kickstarter campaign you can now get the book through our store on www.tegn.shop or in this campaign.
It ended with over 1.200 backers whose support made the production possible. The books are A4 hardcover, black halflinen-bound and coated with surbalin paper that is leather textured. They have over 160 pages and weigh about 900g. The inside is printed in full color. During the campaign it has been promoted throughout the world and has gotten a lot of positive feedback.

Like all books that I have created with the previous artists, this one is launching finished. We just want to know how many we should print for you guys. This is why we made this campaign. It has 300 pages of 150g matte paper and is bound in a hardcover with black stamped letters on mother of pearl coated paper. The format is A5. The book weighs 1 kg.
The cover is the only thing still in the making, and Even will share the process of creating it on his Twitch-account. Same goes for the prints :)
Of course there are a couple of stretchgoals for all of you. These will be added to every single tier that is listed in this campaign and you will receive them together with the products you pledged for. Short: All backers get these!
We will start shipping the books worldwide starting MAY 2020. You can change your address in the surveys until we announce otherwise. Here is a helpful article.
YOU CAN UPGRADE TO TRACKED SHIPPING HERE! Please follow the guidelines in the link. Thank you! This only works for shipments that don’t have tracking yet (like the standard book-tier). Untracked shipments are cheaper but can take a while to arrive (sometimes months, also in the EU), so please bring a certain amount of patience into this :) The signed posters will be sent in a separate shipment and might arrive earlier or later. We don’t have control over the customs of your country and we cannot predict a date of arrival for the book. But we will answer all of your questions of course!
IMPORTANT: Please note that exactly 1 year after the campaigns end we will close the surveys. We will make sure to update you on multiple platforms, write messages here on Kickstarter to remind you, but as a general rule any pledge which still has no finished survey in December 2020 will be seen as a donation. This means those who have not responded to the surveys will lose their claims on their rewards and the pledge for rewards will be seen as a donation to the campaign. The reason is simple: the longer we hold out the more we get charged in taxes, insurance and stock fees.
In case there are any delays with the shipments, we will thoroughly update you about the progress of the campaign. Transparency is very important to us!
The book contains artistic nudity and violence.
All the content and layout is finished. The only thing that is missing is the actual printed products for which we are running this campaign. The fulfillment will be handled by the busy bees at Éditions Caurette who have great experience in publishing and cheap shipment to buyers of high quality print products. They have been publishing works of artists like Kim Jung Gi, Jesper Ejsing, Karl Kopinski and many more, so we trust their competence and judgement. Shipping of the products will be tracked. Higher tiers which will have items unique to this campaign and will demand a higher fee to make sure nothing gets lost and is insured. In case of problems with the shipping of the other tiers, Éditions Caurette will be there to answer your questions. We don’t expect any delays but of course we will update you all if there are any unexpected changes or unforeseen developments as we work fully transparently.
