Update #6 · Aug 18, 2012 · 1 comment

As you all know, everyone got a original art piece from me no matter what level you pledged and that took a long time to complete those. But now they are finally  in the mail!!

And for UK and European backers i will be mailing them from London when I get off the plane next week at Heathrow.

for those who are curious to see what everyone else got, I will be creating a little e-book of all the drawings that will be available for download really soon. And then you can see all the crazy hilarious requests I got... and the hilarious crazy drawings they got back.

I will announce that here and on my facebook page.

More soon

Drawing the gifts

Update #5 · Jul 23, 2012 · 5 comments

Hi Everyone! 

As you know, you are getting original artwork with your pledge!  And I am busy getting all of those together and should be in the mail next week! And i am surprised but the GREAT requests I got from everyone, ranging from Alien Kitty Cat to My character Killing Godzilla, never mind that I have no idea what 'supercap' comic tartan golf cap is, but I am drawing it anyway.

So I thought that I might collect all of these and make a little MINI book that will be included in with the novel so you can see what warped minds you all have and celebrate appropriately! It is really fun to see them on all my art table and I think that you might enjoy that too.

More soon

with gratitude

Dean

Final Stretch

Update #4 · May 15, 2012 · 1 comment

First off... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!  You guys are awesome!  This has gone better than I ever expected and everyone has been so generous. I am really excited to get started on the this.

But now comes the final blast of emails, so this is an advance apology if you get another e-blast from me even after you have already pledged. Feel free just to forward that sucker on to your many friends who would likewise enjoy this project and some Original Artwork.

AND... remember that Dave Dorman is working on the cover as we speak, and I get that up as soon as it is ready (in the meantime, attached is he recent art book cover to get an idea)

We are almost there and I couldn't have done it without your help, so please let everyone else know so we can reach our goal!

Thanks

Dean

DAVE DORMAN COVER!!!

Update #3 · Apr 25, 2012 · comment

I am NOT KIDDING!

I AM SO EXICTED that my friend Dave Dorman offered to do the cover to this novel.  We are now planning that out now and will have more info soon. A print of the final work will be one of the rewards at some new level. So keep an eye out for that!!

Thanks Dave.

This is an example of his work, but, of course, not the Actual cover.

NEW REWARD!

Update #2 · Apr 17, 2012 · 1 comment

I don't know why I didn't think of this!!

The Generous backer who came in at the $999 ask if his name could be a character in the book  - and I said "OF COURSE!!!"

And if I did it for him then I do it for everyone who comes in at that level!

So in addition to everything, plus an original oil painting, your name will forever be a character in the graphic novel. (and all other mediums if I do this right... just saying.) I'll even ask if you want to be a good person or a bad person. And there is going to be a kick ass female lead character in this, and I haven't got a name for her either.

Just another way I can say thank you to everyone who comes on board!
