Update on shipping, slight delays

Update #9 · Oct 21, 2012 · 5 comments

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to give you guys a heads up on how shipping is going, and the fact that there have been a few slight delays in getting everything out.  My local post office is very understaffed, so there have been a few hiccups shipping everything out on time.  This has mainly effected international orders, since those take the longest to process at the post office.  I have gotten a decent portion of international orders out, but I still have a ways to go, but should have all of them out this week.  I want to thank everyone for their patience on this.

I have shipped nearly all of the domestic orders places, minus the ones for the tiers that get drawings by me.  I will have those out next week as well.

Thanks again to everyone for supporting the book!  I can't wait to get it out to everyone who backed the project!

SPX, and Shipping

Update #8 · Sep 19, 2012 · 3 comments

Alright guys!  The book debuted this past weekend at the Small Press Expo in Bethesda, MD and was a huge success!  Plenty of copies of the book were sold, and the response was overwhelmingly positive!

I will be shipping orders out starting Monday of next week!  Keep in mind, if you ordered a drawing when you backed, your order will be shipped sometime in October.

I can't wait to get the book out there and in everyone's hands!  Thanks you all again for the support, I know you'll be happy with the book once you get it!!!

Everything is printed and ready to go!!

Update #7 · Sep 12, 2012 · 5 comments

Alright guys!  SPX is just a few days away, and everything is printed and ready to go!  I've got the books, prints and posters in hand and can't wait to get them out and your way!  I'm going to start asking for shipping addresses after SPX and begin shipping next week!

Everyone who ordered a book plus an original drawing will have their orders shipped in October since I'll need a little time to get all the drawings done and sent out.

Feast your eyes on all this beautiful loot!:

FUNDED!

Update #6 · Aug 13, 2012 · 1 comment

Hey guys!  I just wanted to post a quick update, and thank all of you who helped to support the book and make this idea a reality!  Thank you guys so much!  I still can't believe how quickly the book met its goal, and I'm still astounded by how much we surpassed it!  When I started the Kickstarter, my initial plan was to get 200 copies of the book made, but now I'm going to be getting at least 700, if not 800 copies printed!

Once the book is printed, I will start collecting addresses to ship things out to, as well as whatever info I need based upon what level you pledged!

Thanks again everyone, this experience has been an incredible one, and I can't tell you how happy I am with how things turned out!

500% FUNDED

Update #5 · Aug 6, 2012 · 1 comment

This is CRAZY you guys!  The book is now 500% funded as of this morning!  I still can't believe how much support the book has gotten!

The book is now going to be a little bit over the original 88-pages that I thought it was going to be initially!  I've gotten artwork from a few other artists that I'll be including.  Check out this awesome piece I got from my pal Daniel Krall today!

Also!  I just wanted to give everyone a little heads up about the fact that I made a mistake when I typed the size of the King of Monsters 2 screen print.  I posted it as being 17"x13.25", but it is actually going to be approx 15.7"x12.25" printed on paper which will be 19"x12.5".  I just ordered the paper to print on and realized that the sizes were different than what I expected.  My apologies if this effects anyone's order, and if it does, please feel free to change your pledge accordingly.  All other screen prints will remain the same.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported this book so far, and to all the artists who contributed!

-Jimmy
