      Hi Steve,

      My time sure does fly! Seems like only yesterday you were introducing many of us to the concept of Kickstarter and educating us about this awesome service. Since, I've had the pleasure of backing not only your campaign, but many others. Thanks for that.

      I also am thrilled to have that hardcover in hand, that was a treat to receive from you at C2E2.

      All that said, it dawned on me this week that we're approaching the 1.5 year mark since the campaign was funded. I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering when we're going to see the new AV content on the market? I mean, after all, that's what we so happily contributed to the campaign for, right?

      What's the ETA on new AV?

      Thanks,

      Jason

      Hi Steve,
      I just joined Kick Starter so I missed out on backing you. Amazing work. Thanks for continually giving rookies like me a reason to abandon all hope : )

      Sean, it was great seeing you at C2E2! Thanks for the support on the book!

      Kent, thanks for the sight-unseen support! It was fun talking with Matt (of the LSP) at C2E2. He's a good guy (they all are) and we've talked for years on various forums. They do a great show, too! If you're not listening to Raging Bullets, a DC Comics podcast (co-hosted by the aforementioned Sean Whelan), you may want to give that a try, too.

      Thanks everyone!

      This is intriguing. I just want you to know that word is still getting out there. I'd never heard of Athena Voltaire until I was listening to a recent podcast by the Legion of Substitute Podcasters recorded at a recent con where they interviewed you. The description of the project and your enthusiasm interested me enough to check it out and while I can't pledge much, I want to be part of this even though at this date you've well surpassed the $7K goal. Looking forward to seeing the finished project, and I will at some point be picking up the two existing trades.

      I am so excited for this project. Athena Voltaire is incredible and well worth your support.

      Wow, not even a week in and we're 35% of the way there! Thank you all so very much! And to those of you on the fence, I really appreciate your consideration.

      Hopefully, we haven't reached a plateau on this. If I may impose on you all again, please consider spreading the word via blogs, Facebook, Twitter, message boards, and good old-fashioned word of mouth.

      Thanks!!

      --Steve

      I'm interested in hiring you for a project. It would be for a series of 12 drawings depicting the opening chapter of my book, which would be turned into a book trailer.

      Pleas email me if you're interested and we can discuss what it would cost.

      Good luck with this project - I think you're incredibly talented and I wish you much success!

As an illustrator, I've created artwork for everything from greeting cards to theme park design to roleplaying games and comics. In that time, the highlight has been my work on Athena Voltaire, which earned an Eisner Award nomination in 2005 and was included in St. Martin's "The Year's Best Graphic Novels, Comics and Manga" (2004 edition). I was also nominated for the Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer Award in 2007 for my work on the series. Additional comics work includes 24: Cold Warriors (2008), published by IDW and an adaptation of Oscar Wilde's Canterville Ghost for Classical Comics, to be released in 2010.
