#The Book
Dave Dorman is proud to offer the second in a series of high quality self-curated art collections (the first of which, Oil & Water: The Art of Dave Dorman Vol. 1) was successfully funded here on Zoop), featuring work from his over 40 years as a painter in the Fantastic Illustration field. The art will include both major and minor pieces from his vast involvement of many comics, toys, books, movies, and games projects including Star Wars, Aliens, Batman, Magic the Gathering, GI Joe, and many more -- most shown here for the first time uncluttered by logos and uncropped. It will also include many unpublished personal pieces he has created for himself over the years.
Here's a review by Cartoonist Kayfabe of OIL and WATER: ALIZARIN, a 48-page hardcover which Dorman published as an experiment. Suffice it to say, it did work as the last Zoop campaign and this new one attests. Some of its artwork, but not all, will be published in this new and much larger Oil & Water: The Art of Dave Dorman 2 hardcover.

#Stretch Goals
To be revealed as we approach funding!
#Timeline
The book is compiled and we expect to be ready to start printing within two months after the campaign is over. Printing and shipping from that point should take at least 3-4 months, so delivery of rewards is expected to be done around April '27.
Note: We are aware that the fulfillment for the previous campaign, Oil & Water: The Art of Dave Dorman, ran well behind schedule. Dave had decided to handle fulfillment himself and things kind of got away from him for a while there before he finally was able to get everyone taken care of. But Zoop will be handling the fulfillment and customer service for this new campaign. We'll be sure to keep everyone updated on the progress and watch over things and do everything we can to get the rewards out to everyone on schedule. We've handled fulfillment for well over 100 campaigns, so we know what it takes to push things through to completion :)
