Update #19: OFF TO THE PRINTERS!

Posted 5 days ago

Hey Everyone!

The book is officially sent to the printers. I'm expecting to get a proof(a sample copy) to review sometime soon. After I look it over, they will start printing the ACTUAL books!

If you pledged at the $100+ levels, I am working on your comics this week and they will be sent out with the books.

Good news for your Monday Morning!

Hey everyone!

The book goes off to the printers early next week!

New York's Capital Region alternative newsweekly, Metroland, did a nice interview with me about WITCH KNOTS in this week's paper. CHECK IT OUT and get yourself excited about the book!

Update #17: AAAAND IT'S MAY!

Posted on May 1

Alright, here's some news:

I am days away from finishing the art for the final pages of Witch Knots! After that, some scanning, photoshopping and a little bit of computer magic... then a final read through by my personal editorial staff and it's off to the printers! WOO!

I'm trying my hardest to have these books in your hands by the end of May. In fact, I am going back to my drawing table right now. REALLY!

Update #16: this is going to be HARD

Posted on April 16

Over the last few weeks I've been working on a new final chapter for the WITCH KNOTS book. Something that ties up this storyline in a satisfying way. Before my Kickstarter, I felt like I was writing for a web based audience. I'm sure that's what some of you are, but I know many more of you don't read my web-comics. Those people deserve a book with a meaningful ending. I surprised myself with how quickly these new pages developed. It's like the chapter I had forgotten to write before!

ALSO: I decided to print the books in HARDCOVER! Everyone has been so generous and friendly, I think I own it to you. Oh man, this thing is going to look so cool!
