Update #22 · Oct 30, 2011 · 10 comments

Hello everyone!

First, almost all the posters have shipped!  If you don't have yours yet, give it just a little more time!

Second, It was announced last week that Cursed Pirate Girl was picked up as a title by major international publisher Archaia!  That's huge news, and it means that your hand-stamped books are already collector's items!!!  :)

Third, for those of you with one foot in the last century, I'm doing a TEDx talk on 11.11.11, and hope to bridge the gap between 1901 and 2001 with my presentation.  We'll see how it goes!

Jeremy is hard at work at Volume 2 of CPG, and the art looks FABULOUS.  Thanks so so so much for all your support getting this far!

Tom

    START RUNNING FROM THE LAW NOW. Because when they see you listed in the book under a special section denoting a Very Extra Special Thanks, they will know that you are friendly with pirates. OR! List your child's name and ensure that they pursue a life of piracy! This pledge comes with a copy of the book with a little drawing on the cover and a thank you written from Jeremy Bastian. And to really show how in you are with the pirate crowd, this pledge also comes with a super-special ultra-rare limited print, each one tea-stained by HAND, with an illustration of Cursed Pirate Girl giving you the thumbs up and thanking you by name for your help! We'll also throw in three extra copies of the book, to either impress your friends or use to buy your way out of whatever brig you find yourself in.

    SIGNING EVENT. Nothing says piracy like indentured servitude! Have Jeremy Bastian for a day, swabbing the decks, cleaning windows (he's REALLY tall!), or if you want, simply have him sign books at your event and tell stories of the Omerta seas. This pledge includes 100 copies of the book, and Jeremy will bring all that great hand-made stuff that you can only buy from him at his rare convention appearances. You must cover transport, feeding, and if necessary, housing this poor lad for the trip. He does have a really large moustache, but is in fact very friendly. (Not like those nasty pirates at all.)
