EX | TERRA - Art Book

Hello, I'm Andy Frazer, an illustrator from Wales, and EX|TERRA is a new book, featuring my palaeoart. The book contains commissions and personal projects, all completed during 2022. These include detailed digital paintings and preliminary pencil sketches, with subject matter ranging from Tyrannosaurs to early human ancestors and Wooly Mammoths.

Whilst many of the illustrations in the book are based on rigorous research and adhere closely to current science, others purposely take a more speculative approach, exploring not just what we know about these animals, but also how much we have yet to learn.

The book is A5 sized (210mm x 148mm), landscape format, printed on high quality heavy-weight silk-finish paper with laminated soft-covers. It comprises 76 pages and features more than 70 illustrations. All copies bought through this campaign will be hand-signed.

The Campaign

This Indiegogo campaign is intended to raise the funds necesary for the initial print-run. In return for your support I am offering copies of the book  at a discounted price. For those of you discovering my work for the first time, my previous book of palaeoart, OLD|ONE is also available here as an add-on perk in case you missed it first time around.

For those of you who prefer your books in a digital format, EX|TERRA and the add-on perk OLD|ONE are also available as pdf downloads. The PDF version of EX|TERRA is included free for anyone purchasing a physical copy.

The Schedule

Unlike many crowd-funded books (including some of  my own), which were completed after the funding campaign, EX|TERRA is already finished and all the files are now ready to be sent to the print company. This means that fulfilment is scheduled to begin mid-March 2023, with all books sent out to backers by late-April. This means that you won't have to wait months or years to get what you've paid for.

About Me

I'm best known as the creator of the Dragons of Wales series of books. Six of these have already been published via successful crowd-funding campaigns, with the seventh due to be released in the early summer of this year. In addition, I have also published several dinosaur-themed books, including Novosaurs and Project:Tepui. Please take a look at my profile for more details and to find links to Dragons of Wales on social media.

Risks & Challenges

As the book is already completed, and ready to print, the risks and challenges for this project are greatly reduced compared to many similar projects. I hope that this, as well as my established record of previous crowd-funded books will give you confidence in my ability to deliver.

As soon as this campaign ends and once the funds have been processed, the files will be immediately sent to the print company. Typically, production takes around two weeks, meaning that I'd expect to receive the books in the second-half of March, and I'll begin sending them out to supporters as soon as I receive the stock.

I use a UK-based print company to minimise any delays caused by disrupted global supply-chains. This company has printed all my previous books, are exceptionally reliable and produce very high-quality work. Of course unforeseen issues can impact any project, and I always keep supporter informed throughout the process.

Thank You

Thank you for taking the time to look at this campaign. I hope you'll choose to support this project. If you're unable to contribute, you can still help by sharing this campaign with friends and via social media. All of the books I have published previously only exist because of the generous support of people I have never met. That's an extraordinary thing that I will always be grateful for, and will never take for granted. Thank you.
