Update #6: Advertising Freebie Winners!

Posted on May 12, 2011
    Thanks for helping us out, you guys!  Here are the entries for our sketch raffle drawing for the people who helped us advertise.  We have five sketches we are giving away.  Each heading is a method of advertising (ex: RT = retweet, TU = tumblr re-blog, etc).  That is also how I will contact winners.

    THE WINNERS ARE: 2, 13, 115, 137, 146

    From Twitter re-tweets, we have: AzureStarline, Evisdcc
    From Tumblr re-blogs, we have: laurbits, rd-sketchbook, skipsleep

    You have until Thursday, May 19 to send me your address, or I will pick another winner!

    Grace

Update #5: Books have shipped! + Check our new project!

Posted on May 12, 2011

Hi, everyone!

After a late night writing addresses and a hectic morning at the post office (the ladies there know me by name, now, haha) - all orders with 2 of fewer books are in the mail.  US orders were sent via Media Mail, and international via First Class Parcel Post.  Orders with more than 2 books will be sent out tomorrow or Saturday.

For US orders, you can expect them to arrive between Tuesday, 5/17, and Friday, 5/20.  Please give international orders another week (around 5/24-5/27).  If you do not receive your book by June 1, please contact me for a refund or replacement.  You have until June 12 to ask for a replacement.

I am still missing shipping addresses for two people - Tai Ho and Skween.  If you do not give me your addresses by June 12, you forfeit your copies of the book.

But now...

The art books don't stop here!  I've already started another, albeit smaller, solo project - a series of illustrated, genderbend, fairy tales.  It's through Kickstarter's competitor, IndieGoGo, so now you can use Paypal!  Just like this campaign, you can pledge to get the book and original artwork.  And advertising could win you a free sketch commissions.  So please, take a look and tell your friends!

CHECK IT OUT HERE!

Again, as always, thank you all so much for helping make this possible. I'm going to pass out now.

Grace!

Update #4: Books have Arrived from the Printer!

Posted on April 29, 2011

Hi, Backers!Sorry to be so quiet.  The books have arrived, and the envelopes are labeled.  I'm just waiting on one more artist to send me their buttons. She said she sent it out today, so I'll be able to mail your books on Monday.

MESSAGE ME AT fongmingyunATgmailDOTcom IF YOU HAVE AN ADDRESS CHANGE!!!

Meanwhile, I've collected the works from our artists, and we have 20 backer prizes!  If you are a winner, please check your package for a sketch! It should be on the inside cover of one of the books.

The number of entries you get is based on your reward tier, and your placement on the list is by order which addresses were sent in!  Winners are denoted by their names in bold.

Grace
