Posted on February 6

Hello all! 

Your incentives are being worked on as you read this.  Still scouting for a location and making new work too.  I'll keep posting updates of the incentives as I get through them.  The book is almost complete too.  I just have to finish one more drawing and get the cover done.  I am excited about the show.  Correction... I am VERY EXCITED about the show.  I'm bouncing off the walls!

 You guys are so AWESOME! THANK YOU! 

Here are some images of the incentives: http://jonnyg123.blogspot.com/2012/02/incentive-updates.html

5 DAYS!!! HALF WAY THERE! 

Update #2: 13 days to go!!!

Posted on January 4

Hello everybody!  I want to thank you again for your amazing support of "Lush and Allure."  We have 13 more days to hit our goal.  Please continue sharing the project with all your friends on Facebook and Twitter.  I'll be doing my best to get it out there until the deadline. 

Quick update:  I just grabbed 15 large wood frames (at a VERY reasonable price) for the show!  So much sanding to do.  Also, the cover is coming along for my book.  Just waiting for my awesome writer to finish up the introduction and we will be set to send to the printer! 

So again, PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHARE! We have a long way to go! Just copy and paste this link:

      Hey Jonny....
      How can I post this on Facebook? I don't think enough people know about what you are doing?
      Does Bob Kurtz know? I see a note under pledge $1000 or more and it says that you have not connected your Facebook account.
      How can I share this on MY Facebook account?
