The Rallyist Motor Sport Art Gallery
Believe it or not, we are looking all the way back to 2019 when I ran the Rallyist 350 crowd funding Three Books = One Art Gallery campaign. The goal to raise the funding to produce Three New Books, 'The Rallyist: 10th anniversary Edition' a new Rallyist Colouring Book and of course the Rallyist350: Limited Edition. From this we would offer the books, when complete as rewards for pledges, which with book sales to would raise start up funds to build the Gallery.
Unfortunately the campaign fell short of the goal.
As it turned out however, over the years following commission projects would have a profound effect on both Rallyist-Art and the planned books. The Rallyist T.A.E. became Rallyist Remastered a project that took over two years working at a rate of 3 cartoon per week to complete with many reworks. Finally the 68 cartoon 72 page book was published in April 2023. This was very quickly followed by the New Rallyist Colouring book, based on the line drawings from Remastered. Also now available. (see the Rallyist.co bookshop). As for Rallyist350, well its almost there. 150 pages of artwork in this project. It would have been completed by now but for the eye issue.
I am now working towards a new launch date and a new target event Race Retro Feb 2024. The grand plan, To Display Rallyist Remastered finally to a major audience, show off my new Garage - Art Range and release Rallyist350 to launch a new crowdfunding camapign to get the Rallyist Motor Sport Art Gallery up and running.
Its is also note worthy that in addition to the Two completed books, plus the near completion of Rallyist350. I now have the Three Books but I also now have Two significant inflatable structures that will serve as Gallery, Shop and Studio for promotional preposes as the project continues to develope.
The Rallyist Gallery is almost there. I have the three Books and some of the of the base structure. Still a way to go and Race Retro 2024 will form a major stepping stone in this process. Ergo any support to get us to Race Retro would be of great help and gratefully received.
A new Rallyist Motor Sport Art Gallery webpage is under construction ( fact is I'll get on with it when I've finished this Blog ... )
I need Commission projects, I need Books Sales, I need Artwork sales, I need support.
