Pre-Flight Check
The Daisy Kutter reprint campaign has now reached nearly $50K! We are pretty floored by the massive show of support for the project these past few days. Thank you, everyone. You have no idea how much this means to me and the rest of us at the studio. Not only does it show interest in this old out-of-print story we love, but it shows that there is strong support for work that people might consider hard to market or sell. Some projects we just want to do for the love of it, and to know we can confidently move ahead with projects like this, because of your help, really bolsters our confidence to take on the risk. So thank you for that.
We have only a 3 hours left to go, so I want to make sure everyone has the correct pledge amounts for their rewards.
For people in Canada or any other International Territories, please check this link for all necessary information.
And for anyone who has pledged for unsigned copies of the book, I highly encourage you to take part in pledging for signed copies. Not only do you get a small sketch of Daisy- drawn and signed by Kazu- included in your order, but you also receive a postcard, a bookmark, and a chance to win a piece of original art. When you receive your package, a handful of randomly selected signed copy backers will receive an original drawing by me. It will be a lot like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, except without the chocolate or the factory. In fact, to make things more fun, I will add an extra 5 drawings on top of the 10 that are already going into the pool, and maybe more depending on how my hand is feeling, and if schedule permits. So your chances are actually pretty high!
Anyway, thanks again, everyone, for taking part in our very first self-publishing venture. You can be sure that after the success of this campaign, we will be working on a Daisy Kutter 2, and will be back on Kickstarter with more projects in the very near future. It's been quite an informative and interesting experience these past few weeks, and I have you all to thank for making it a very pleasant one. Thanks again, and I'll send you an update on the progress of the book files and the printing of the booksonce this campaign wraps up.

Add $5 for Canada, or $10 for other International orders. The premium ORIGINAL ART reward below ($500 pledge) is 11 x 14 inches, on better paper stock, and I am spending a lot more time on those images (equivalent to drawing a cover for Amulet).

Lance > I will definitely keep everyone here posted on Daisy Kutter 2. We are now putting the finishing touches on the book and the app. Next, we will begin scheduling out production for Daisy 2, but Amulet 6, 7 and 8 will be the priority.
Creator Lance Trahan on June 8, 2012
Seems like I can get to boltcity.com again. :)
Creator Lance Trahan on June 8, 2012
Correction, 1000+ backers to compete against! Congratulations on a great Kickstarter success! :D
Creator Lance Trahan on June 8, 2012
Great stuff! Now I just have to compete with 850 backers for the piece of art. :)
Please do send an update to this project if you decide to launch a Kickstarter for DK2 in the future. Will help a lot of us current backers to follow over to it.
Oddly, it seems I can't get to boltcity.com at the moment. Unable to connect.
Creator Kazu Kibuishi on June 7, 2012
I actually have a couple of other book projects (before Daisy Kutter 2) that are nearly complete that we will likely debut on Kickstarter, depending on how good we get at fulfilling orders. I'll definitely keep everyone here posted on these projects!
Creator Michael on June 7, 2012
Ooo am very happy, that you will be returning to Kickstarter! And thrilled at the sound of Daisy Kutter 2. Since I can't figure out a way to follow you on here, make sure to revive this place with an update when you post new projects. So we know to look :)
Creator Kazu Kibuishi on June 7, 2012
Hey Randy, sure thing. Just add the amount of whatever else you want to add, and we can sort it out. Also, I'll be sure to add extras to the retailer packages. :)
Creator Randy Lander on June 7, 2012
This is really exciting, Kazu! Congrats on the strong showing! I'm backing the retailer level, is there any way for me to add onto that and get in on the signed copy level as well?
Creator Antonio Garcia on June 7, 2012
Ok, you just convinced me to increase my pledge for a signed and sketched copy of the book, since now my odds of winning an extra original art page has gone up. Also, I just sent you a Message, so please be sure to check it!
Looking forward to this book, and to DK 2!
