    We have just 24 hours to go on Kickstarter. We have added a new incentive too. Everyone who supports us at 5 dollars or more will get a free ticket to the opening of our newest exhibit Overture: Looney Tunes Behind the Scenes!

    The opening will be from 8pm-10pm on October 30th.

    We are closed during the gallery crawl that night but will open at 8pm for our special guests and to celebrate our Kickstarter success!
     So come for the crawl and stay for the Toons.

    Tell your friends too!

    Hope to see you there.

    Over half way there, 3 days to go, and we just knocked a hole in the wall!

    I want to thank all of you for supporting the ToonSeum expansion. Today we are knocking the hole in the wall and installing the new doorway connecting us to our new gallery.

    We are halfway to our goal, but still have a ways to go.

    So please tell your friends, family and comics fan to support the cartoon arts and support the toonseum at www.realsuperhero.org

    We are excitedly planning our opening party, and it is going to be a blast! Speaking of blast.... I wonder if hiring Acme construction to put the hole in the wall was such a good idea??

    12 days to go on kickstarter!

    The ToonSeum is moving full steam ahead with the new expansion. We just signed the lease and have gotten the clearances for knocking a hole in the wall!

    We hope you are as excited as we are about the opening of the new ToonSeum expansion!

    We will have dedicated wall for indy and local artist, a comics reading area, and lots more display space. Not to mention the awesome new comics courtyard!

    We anticipate a early-mid November opening and hope to see you all there.

    In the meantime, tell your friends! Tell other cartoonists, fans, and anyone who loves the comic and cartoon arts. Ask them to support the ToonSeum via kickstarter at www.realsupehero.org We have to reach our goal to get the support so please help us get there.

    Thanks,
