Hello everyone,

Somehow, the link didn't come through for "The Doom That Came to Sarnath." Here is the correct link:

I hope you like it! Stay tuned for the next page on Thursday, and thanks again for all your support, without which none of this would have been possible.

Dear Kickstarter backers,

The final stage of the Kickstarter rewards has finally begun! Thanks to the "Nyarlathotep" level backer, I'm doing a 20-page adaptation of HP Lovecraft's "The Doom That Came to Sarnath," starting today on the Mock Man website!

http://www.mockman.com/2012/05/01/the-doom-that-came-to-sarnath-page-1/

Please check it out and follow it as it continues every week! I'm thrilled to be drawing this story, which is one of my favorites. And don't think that this will be the last Lovecraftian comic I'm doing, either... but that's news for later. ;) 

This will be the last Kickstarter update for the foreseeable future. I hope you're enjoying "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" and I hope you like "Sarnath." I've still got some "Dream-Quest" copies in stock at store.mockman.com, and every bit of review or coverage helps, so if you have time, please consider writing a review of "Dream-Quest" on goodreads (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13558064-the-dream-quest-of-unknown-kadath-other-stories), your blog, or another social website.

It's all thanks to your support and encouragement that I've been able to return to drawing Lovecraft comics. My deepest thanks go out to all of you, and I hope to continue drawing comics that you like for many, many years to come.

Sincerely,

Jason

After several delays (apparently the shipping company couldn't find my house, believe it or not) the Dream-Quest graphic novels have finally arrived! During a brief break in the Seattle rain, a truck dropped off a pallet loaded with 700 kilos of books!

If you've never exercised by carrying 1,500 pounds of SAN-blasting tomes up the stairs into your house, you don't know what you're missing. The books are now sitting in my living room in 44 ginormous boxes, but not for long; right after I send this I'm going to start signing them and sending them out in preaddressed envelopes. I've attached some pictures of the mayhem. Luckily, it didn't start raining while the books were sitting in my driveway.

Thank you so much for your patience and support, the books are on their way to all of you! Next stop: the post office! 

It's a gray and foreboding morning here in Seattle as I await the arrival of the Dream-Quest graphic novels from the printer. I just got a phone call from the delivery company and the books should arrive today or tomorrow; apparently they had tried to deliver yesterday but couldn't find my house and didn't call my phone number. :/ I'll post as soon as they arrive, and I'll start sending them out to everyone immediately!

In other news, over at http://mockman.com/ I've started posting a new series of Lovecraftian sketches (updated Monday-Wednesday-Friday). Some of these are sketches done for Kickstarter supporters (thank you so much!), others are original. This particular one was drawn for one of the supporters and shows a Lovecraftian version of Gatsby, his pet rabbit. Please check out mockman.com for more pictures of Cthulhuvian monsters, and soon, my adaptation of The Doom That Came to Sarnath.

Hi everyone,

I just got back from the post office, where I've sent out all the Dreamlands map posters to Journeyman Dreamer level backers and up! The poster turned out great, and I've attached some closeup photos of one of the first copies on the wall of my studio. We went with fade resistant inks to give it a little more resistance to sunlight. US backers should receive their posters within a week or so, and international backers in 1-2 weeks.

In other news, I'm giving away some free copies of King of RPGs (my other graphic novel) at http://www.kingofrpgs.com/blog/ . It's part of a contest with several other fantasy authors, "Crossing the Streams," so you might win not only King of RPGs, but the other authors' books as well. The blog link has more specifics, but basically, for a chance to win a free graphic novel, you have to post a roleplaying-related story on the King of RPGs facebook wall (http://www.facebook.com/pages/King-of-RPGs/128615214032) before the end of February. 

Not too long now before the bulk of the books arrives from the printers! I'm already addressing everyone's envelopes so I can send them out as soon as they arrive. More news soon, and thanks for your support and patience!
