Kickstarter

Hi everyone, my name is Tyson Hesse.
For the past 5 years I've run a webcomic called Boxer Hockey at www.boxerhockey.com . I'm also a freelance illustrator, animator, and comic book colorist.  While I've always been fortunate enough to make my living doing what I love, I've yet been able to turn my webcomic into a full-time job.  And that's the point of this Kickstarter.  
In the past I've only been able to make short runs of books, which cost a fortune to order, and end up making me very little in returns.  I also run out of stock very quickly, leaving me with nothing to do until I can earn enough to order another run.  But the with the help of a significant starting sum, I would be able to order a large amount of books, leaving me with a healthy stock to sell for months to come, and giving the ability to keep the process rolling.  That's where you come in!

MY GOAL:
If you're here, you're probably already a reader of boxerhockey.com .  And you know that even though updates may wane as I make my living elsewhere, that I have no intention of leaving my readers hanging.  My goal is through the selling of books and merchandise to make enough of a living to dedicate my entire schedule to these comics.  My goal is a twice a week update schedule for Boxer Hockey.  But I need your help to get there!  Here are the ways which you can help me reach my goal: 

PRODUCT TIERS:
For three dollars you get an exclusive Boxer Hockey Wallpaper.  This is simply a thank you gift for helping.  Not everyone has a lot of money to spend on entertainments, but as a group effort, every little bit can really add up.  So for your "donation" I will be making up an exclusive wallpaper for you.  You will receive the wallpaper for any other donation amount as well.

For five dollars, you will receive the Diesel Volume One PDF.  This will be the first time for many of you to read Diesel.  It includes both the 30-page introductory comic and the 30 page sketchbook containing almost every sketch made during the design process of Diesel's world.  For more info, visit: Dieselcomic.com

For eight dollars you will get the both Diesel Volumes in PDF download.  Not as fancy as the print versions, but a bit easier to afford.

The following items include the price of shipping in the U.S. and Canada.  Orders outside of these countries will require additional money for shipping fees, as noted under each item.

For fifteen dollars you will get Diesel:  Volume Two when it is released.  Volume Two will be 60 pages of comic with several additional pages of sketches and fanart as well.  It's estimated completion date is the end of October.  You will be kept up to date via special Diesel blog for pre-orderers.
+5$ for international shipping.

For 23 dollars:  You will receive a special T-shirt that is ONLY available from this Kickstarter.  That's right, this is a one-time offer.  Any time someone sees you in this shirt they're gonna be like "DANG, that sucker saved Boxer Hockey.   I wish it were that I was him."
+5$ for international shipping.

For 25 Dollars you will receive both hard copies of Diesel 1 & 2.  These will ship together as a pair when Volume 2 is complete, but  in the meantime you will be able to download and read the PDF for Volume One.
+5$ for international shipping.

For 30 Dollars you get Boxer Hockey volume two. 100 full-color pages covering everything from The Bear, The hamsters, The flashback, the OTHER flashback, and non-sequitor favorites like Ryan Penguin, Awesome Eagle, THAT'S.  HILARIOUS., etc.  Also included is a never-before-seen full issue script of a cancelled Boxer Hockey reboot.  You won't find it anywhere else.  ALSO included in a separate mini-book is *drum roll*  the Sonic comics.  These will never be printed again, so get it now.
+5$ for international shipping.

+10$ for international shipping.

For 250 dollars, you will receive the BIG DADDY PACK and be drawn into the upcoming game in a crowd scene.  People kept asking to make bigger donations, so this is a way to give a little something extra in return.  Thanks!
