WE DID IT! 

Thank you so much to every single one of you who have made this Kickstarter campaign a success! (and with two full weeks to go!)   

I am incredibly grateful for your support and belief in this project. It really means a lot to me that you've chosen to pledge your hard-earned money to realizing the dreams of a young storyteller. 

I am a complete newcomer to the webcomics/professional comics scene but I've been greeted with warmth and support from creators and readers alike. I promise I will do everything I can to honor the faith and trust you have placed in me. 

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions whatsoever! You can reach me at my websites (laurbits.com, laurbits at deviantart, twitter, tumblr) or e-mail at laurie.uy [at] gmail [dot] com. 

Let me know if I can help you in some way as well. If you happen to be an aspiring artist or writer, I am an open book for you. My success can be credited to the generosity of other artists who have taken the time to share their resources and insight with me and I fully intend to pay this forward.

General Updates:

  • The books should already be on their way to me from Canada. I'll be taking pictures and updating you guys the minute they come through my front door! 
  • The 8.5x11 print is coming along nicely. Decided to live dangerously and go with copic markers for this one. 
  • The online webcomic is going to be wrapping up this week, too! If you'd like to preview the entire book before you decide to pledge, now is a great time to start reading it at laurbits.com.  
Now that we've reached our goal, I'd like to offer every backer a complimentary PDF of the Polterguys Vol. 1 Companion. 

It took a lot to get this project going and the story itself has gone through very dramatic revisions. I wanted to share these tidbits along with concept art, full-color illustrations and photos which I couldn't include in the graphic novel. Think of it as the Bonus Features section on your DVD/Blu-Ray. 

Thank you so much again, guys. I am very fortunate to have your help. : ) Have a great week!
