ON THE WAY
"The City Troll" is printed!  I will begin mailing books and pledge prizes starting Monday.  I will be sending them as I finish drawings and other pledge prizes.  It will probably take the rest of March to meet this demand.  Thanks for your patience!

FEEDBACK
Once you get your copy of "The City Troll" I would love feedback from you guys.  Send positive or critical feedback to my email: AARONLECK(at)GMAIL.COM.  This is my first graphic novel so it would be great to learn and grow from this experience.

WEBSITE THANK YOU
I posted a thank you to all the City Troll supporters on my website.  Check it out.

ANOTHER AWESOME KICKSTARTER
My girlfriend, Melinda Tracy Boyce, is also an amazing cartoonist.  If you enjoy autobiograhical comics you should check out her kickstarter: The Melinderly.  The work she does is truly amazing (and I'm not just saying that because I'm dating her).  She hand paints every comic in beautiful color and her storytelling is witty and relatable. She is attempting to self-publish a full color quarterly comic zine available through a mail subscription.

AT THE PRINTERS
I handed over the files for "The City Troll" to the printers yesterday!  I will be very busy these next couple weeks fulfilling all these pledges.  I have A LOT of drawings to create.  It's going to be fun, you guys came up with some really random things for me to draw.

COMIC EXPOS
Here are the comic expos I will have tables at this year.  I hope to see some of you there!  If you are in Austin, TX and are attending STAPLE let me know and I can have your books and rewards ready for pick up.

March 3-4 - Austin, TX - STAPLE! The Independent Media Expo 
April 28-29 - Portland, OR - Stumptown Comic Fest 
Oct 3-4 - San Francisco, CA - A.P.E. Alternative Press Expo

MAILING LIST
I forgot to mention this on my Kickstarter page, but I have a mailing list where I sometimes send out secret comics and updates.  If you would like to join it comment on this post saying so.  Thanks!

WOW
Seriously.  Thank you so much to everyone that helped back my project.  Every single pledge was crucial.  I can't explain how excited and proud I am for this comic to finally become reality.

WHAT'S NEXT?
Shortly you will be able to send me your address.  Pledge rewards will be delivered in early March.  To stay updated on the progress follow me on twitter @GinghamGhost or visit my website: www.aaronwhitaker.com.

GOAL REACHED
That's right!  "The City Troll" reached it's goal!  With 23 days left I am excited with the opportunity to surpass my original goal and raise extra money for a larger printing and possible book tour.  Thank you to all pledgers for your support!  I greatly appreciate it!

PAINTINGS READY TO BE CLAIMED
Grotesque Pledgers ($100) and up, you may now start selecting which original 12"x12" painting you would like.  This will be done on a first pledge basis, so I will be messaging you individually in order to see which one you would like to claim.  For more info, larger pictures, and availability, visit the "The City Troll" Kickstarter page and scroll down.
