A New Pledge Reward and an Offer from a Fan of the Book
Kelly Williams, artist of Paint a Vulgar Picture, is offering the original art pages from his story to backers who donate $100 or more.
I've attached the latest art update courtesy of Libbi Rich and April Reyna's version of Girl Afraid.
I received an email from a Smiths fan and backer of both volumes of the book. He asked me to pass it on to you. You can still pledge toward Volume 2 of the book at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/756324374/unite-and-take-over-volume-2-a-smiths-comic-anthol
From Robert, a Smiths fan and Kickstarter backer:
Hello Fellow Backers of Unite and Take Over:
As I’m sure most of you are aware Shawn launched a second project in
this series to create Unite and Take Over Volume 2: A Smiths Comic
Anthology and the funding campaign ends in less than 3 days now with
about 37% of the $6000 goal committed so far.
I backed the initial project and was just as happy to the back the
second because I’m a fan of the Smiths and Morrissey and of comics and I
think it’s truly an incredibly creative project. The idea is unique and
inspiring and it’s an experience that fans like us can not only really
be a part of but will also enjoy and cherish for years. It’s only
through Shawn’s creative vision, his passion for comics, love for the
music of the Smiths and Morrissey and his connections from working in
the comic book industry that anything like this is even possible. Well,
those things and this great site called KickStarter.
But even with all these things coming together to try to make this 2nd
volume a reality there’s still a critical component that’s missing and
that’s us – the fans – that are needed to back this project! At the of
this writing there are 68 backers for Volume 2 and when I look back here
to the original campaign and I see there are 360 I know it’s possible
to get the 2nd volume to meet the campaign goal but it’s going to take
the support of everyone that backed the first Unite and Take Over
project.
I’m being a little selfish here because I want to see the project
succeed but I’m reaching out to encourage my fellow Smiths and Morrissey
fans to get behind this 2nd volume and help to make it a reality! I’d
like to issue this challenge:
To help encourage more backers to either join the project or increase
their current commitment level, I am willing to increase my commitment
by $0.50 per qualifying backer up to the point where the $6000 goal is
met for any backer that meets either of the following criteria:
1. New backers of Unite & Take Over Volume 2 that commit at a minimum of a $15 level
2. Current backers of Unite & Take Over Volume 2 that increase their current commitment by at least $15
Obviously anyone who commits to more than $15 will help us reach the
goal sooner but the main thing is more fans just need to get behind this
2nd volume. I’ve reached out to Shawn and he’s offered to help track
the results of my challenge and I’m ready to step up and now I’m just
asking others to do the same!
Please take me up on my challenge and back Unite and Take Over Volume 2:
A Smiths Comic Anthology at a minimum of $15 or increase your current
commitment by $15 between now and the time the funding goal is met and
let’s make this a reality together!
UNITE AND STEP-UP SMITHS AND MOZ FANS!
Thank you,
Robert
