I'm an artist living in the Los Angeles area just trying to figure out how to get out of the rat race.

    Hey Drew, We will have to wait and see. If I have stock left over then I might put some of it in my online store but I don't know for sure. Most of it will be pretty limited so it might all get sold at the con. But if there is a continual demand for it then I might start selling it online too.

    The books have been sent out!

    I should have written this a week ago when I sent out the last of the books but I was so relieved to get through the mass that my brain checked out. Most of you have probably received your book(s) by now but I keep getting emails every day with some of you saying you just received it. I'm loving all the emails and glad you are all enjoying the book!

    If you haven't received your copy(s) yet then please be patient because they should be arriving anytime now. Some of them were sent with Media Mail because it was MUCH cheaper than Priority mail but it means it will take a week or two to arrive.

    If anyone has any problems with their book or has a messed up copy due to a printing error then please emailed with a photo and I will send you a new book.

    And finally, If you are one of the ten $99 backers who get a painting with your 3 books then please be patient (even more) I have completed 5 of the 10 paintings so far and I'm working on the remaining 5 as I find the time. If you got a box with your books but no painting then I haven't forgotten about you. I will send your painting as soon as I finish it! Thanks again for your excellent support!

    On another note, I'm getting things ready for the San Diego Comic-Con now in hopes of selling lots of copies of reMIND! If you are going to be at the Comic-Con then come by my Small Press Booth and say hi! My table number is O-07. Just think "James Bond 007". I'll be selling reMIND, Postcards, Prints, T-shirts, Hoodies, Plushies, older comics and original art from reMIND so come on by!

    Thanks again everyone and I hope you are enjoying reMIND! I couldn't have done all this without you!

    - Jason

        I will be at booth A9, but I'm going to make a point of sneaking away to try and see you. I hope you don't take a break at the same time.

        Got the book yesterday, it was sitting in my mailbox when I got back from vacation. It looks fantastic, have to set aside a couple of hours soon to read it. Congrats on bringing this project to completion. More success to you!

    That's amazing news Daniel! I'm so excited for you and to see what kind of work you can generate now that you are working on it full time! I got my print and button on Friday and it is GREAT! I'm really loving it all! Congratulations again!

    Tyler, Each book is wrapped in a layer of foam so I'm hoping it stays unharmed in the transit.

    Books, Books and More Books!

    Here is a picture of my son with all the pallets of books right after they got delivered.

    On Monday I finally got all the books shipped to my garage and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. But have no fear. They have all been moved to my bookshelf and the boxes are numbered so I don't loose count of what numbers I'm on when I stamp them all. I picked up a bunch of packing supplies on Saturday and my wife and I spent a late night yesterday getting things ready to start sending out.

    We have managed to get about 200 books stamped, numbered and wrapped in foam so far and plan to keep chipping away at it until all 700 pre-orders and kickstarter backer orders are sent out. It has been a real job to figure out the best way to ship out everything without using the slowest method. I believe most of the books will be sent out Priority Mail which means you should be getting your book/s pretty soon...as soon as we can get them packed anyway.

    For those of you who pledged $99 or more, I am half way finished with all the paintings. This means that half of you will receive your painting with your books and the other half will get your books now and your painting later when I can finish it. I tend to be much slower than I thought when it comes to painting with real paints so please bare with me. I promise you will get your painting soon though.

    Just so you know, I'm hoping to get everything packed up by the end of this week so I can send out everything on Monday. That's the goal anyway. Hopefully it's reasonable. hah.

    Thanks again for your amazing support in all this. We are soooo close now!

    - Jason

    Actually, we could work something out if you want to swing by Dreamworks which is right up the street from your work. It would save me some shipping too! Let me know because I don't mind at all.
