Good luck - take your time - your drawing is great but really I think much more important is to make sure your get your characters and dialogue right ... and then a good story ... but good characters and dialogue really make the story don't they?
Hey Erin, I'm thinking of moving to New Orleans, was wondering if you could tell me a little about what it's like and whether folks are hiring...the music/food/art scene calls me but not sure if i'll be able to get a job. i heard about your project through a mutual friend, Ce Garrison, looking forward to reading the finished product. Good Luck, best wishes.
peace
Having never backed a kickstarter project before I am extremely excited to follow your progress all the way to the point where I have the wonderful product in my hands. Go get 'em!
Yes love the latest video, and CONGRATS!!! I'm still on a high from mine closing last night, and SO STOKED FOR YOU!!!
Sorry Evan, I had to watch this a second time to get your name.
The latest video is hilarious! Your man friend needs to take center stage and get his own video! Seven hours to go!
Hi Erin! I saw your Speechless video before even checking out the project. I have a project (ending in a few hours, yikes!) that was funded in 4 days (my goal is much less than yours), and can totally relate to your sentiment! I kinda cried, kinda danced, and mostly just couldn't think of words to say when I found out I'd reached my goal. People are freaking awesome!!!
But now I've seen the rest of your project and couldn't help but back you :) Best of luck in your last couple days!! Can't wait to see the finished product!
This is the first kickstarter I have ever backed and I'm so stoked it's this one. I visited New Orleans last year at the weekend after the big Mardi Gras blowout. I have never been so in love with a city in my own country as I was with NOLA. I have since been saying how much I would adore living there. To see the video and read the first couple pages was confirmation of what I felt in New Orleans. You love freely and passionately but lose deeply. I so look forward to reading this since I have yet to live in it myself. Congratulations and the best to you always.
So friggin happy for you Erin!! I knew you could do it because you're just that friggin awesome!!
So proud of you and excited for you! Congratulations Erin, you're epic!
What an awesome project - the introduction in the video alone made my heart sing!
Lovely project (and the first one I've pledged for) can you let me know when the book is out - I will pay for the International Shipping x
congrats kiddo!
Excited for when I can read it! :D Have a Happy New Years and try not to use the extra all for partying. X) The video was great and convinced me to become a backer. So did the color scheme of that first illustration.
buddy, here's some VERY important homework for your storyboard! the book "Black Flags and Windmills", by Scott Crow http://vimeo.com/27543529 The other folks i mentioned for solid perspective are Jay, Jackie, King, my fairy-god-crusty, Mary Go-round, Malek (tyler sez he would make a great character, but King is top of the list)... yip!
Erin Wilson, I believe you are technically a rock star. This project looks super rad and important, way to go! Hope to see you again someday!
Congrats, Erin and friends! I loved your video.
Congratulations Erin! This is awesome!
Congratulations! I'm super excited to be backing this project, with the amount of personality you have I'm sure the project will be great!
Yay! You did it! Congratulations!! Exclamation points!!!!!
Erin! You're rocking it girl! Loved the dance party!! XOXOOX illana
I came to Kickstarter to support my son (Nicholas Reichard of The Restaurant Job) and saw your site and just fell in love with your artwork. Wishing you success and happiness in your future projects:-)

Wanna see this bird fly!

You effin amazing. Spanky and I are proud to back this project both in monetary funds and hella good vibes.
I think this is the best Kickstarter video I have ever seen.
Congrats on Kickstarter 12/21 Project of the Day!
Wish i could donate more. I replied to your email on FB. I can def send you pics, if you need me to. Thank you for doing this. <3
Erin, sounds like a great idea. I lived in Baton Rouge for about 6 years back in the day. just recently visit New Orleans. I live in Japan now. I know a huge difference in scenery. Im looking forward to seeing your book. Keep up the good work. I gave up on a dream I once had. I regret it everyday. Hope to see yours come through.. :)
your artwork is so awesome! could i hire you to draw some characters for my video game project? seriously, we should talk :) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/couponquestgame/coupon-quest-rpg-adventure-game-meets-coupon-colle
Your attitude and great array of hats have convinced me. Also your art. I do hope we can pay your bills for you.
HALF WAY!!! WOOHOOO!!!!
I got to watch you hit the 3 grand mark!! you're awesome erin!!
Givin your appreciation for mid-ninetys anime. I find this appropriate in expressing how you feel about all the support you have. http://www.youtube.com/watch… Skip to 2:00 if you want to skip the typical "it takes 5 min just to turn around DBZ Cliche'". Oh and Keep up the passionate work. Sorry to hear about the rought time but glad you are keeping on the sunny side. as they say
Good luck. I used Kickstarter to fund my comic (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fenixgear/fenix-gear-an-action-adventure-comedy-powered-by-l). It's a labor of love, but your art and story hooked me with the sample pages. I put a link on my facebook, and I hope you meet your goal. GOOD LUCK!
