It's Been a While

Backers,

Things are moving as they should. I've been busy creating content for Substack, polishing off scripts, managing book 8 and the coloring of Volume 1, as well as prepping for fulfillment of this campaign. 

By now over 80% of you have responded to your BackerKit Surveys; if you haven't please search your inbox and your spam/junk folders for an email (or several) from BackerKit. The black and white books as well as all prints are in and I'll begin shipping them out within the next week or so. If you pledged at a level including Volume 1 in COLOR in addition to a black and white book, you won't receive your books until the color version is ready (as was mentioned during the campaign).

All digital rewards will be sent out as well within the next two weeks. If you chose to be added to my mailing list you will receive a message soon welcoming you to the list.

Thank you again for all the support. Keep scrolling for a look at some of the things I've been working on!

Black and White Books Have Been Ordered!

Afternoon folks,

Funds are in and orders are out. Bea is working hard on colors and is 2/3rds through Book 2. You'll be holding those full color trades before you know it. 

It'll be worth the wait...

About 20 of you have already received a survey from BackerKit. This is what they call a "Smoke Test" to make sure the surveys go out okay. They recommend waiting 24 hours before sending the rest of the surveys, so look out tomorrow for the BackerKit survey! 

  • If you ordered a t-shirt, you'll get a question about t-shirt sizes. I know I asked already but just give me another honest answer here so I can verify you get the correct shirt when it comes time to fulfill.
  • If you're interested in add-ons, but aren't quite ready to add them, no worries. Go ahead and finish the surveys, they won't be locked in for quite a while (unless you ordered only Black and White books) I'll be leaving the pre-order store up for most of the year and won't be locking color orders down until sometime in September.

I'm off to my first con of the year this Saturday! Wish me luck!
