Carlos Alimurung says: Jamie, I received the commissioned art a few days ago, and it's just awesome. Great job. (When things calm down for you, let's talk about another potential commission!) The Burghers of Calais shall be seen by everyone!!! Thank you very much and good luck with the project!
PaperblackNinja says: Ever since seeing Aviary on my local comic book shop's shelves, I've been looking to find more. And now here it is, in the making! Thanks for the great work and inspiring updates!
Jamie Tanner says: Best comment ever! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Chris Pitzer (and if you don't recognize that name, go to http://www.adhousebooks.com immediately for some of the best comics around (and some of my own, too))...
Chris Pitzer says: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Michelle Schrad says: I thought for sure I would get to be the one to bump it over $6500! I've been watching like a hawk but couldn't afford to donate $50. Anyway, I'm looking forward to watching this project take shape!
Jamie Tanner says: Charlie - thank you, sir! Good to have you on board (and even better to hear a new ISR episode). Quitting comics? Couldn't if I tried. But this way I'll make a new one relatively soon...
Schnapp - get some sleep!
Charlie Charlito LaGreca says: oops... I meant the car ride down to SPX....
derrrr.
Charlie Charlito LaGreca says: JAMIE this is freakin' awesome... GET IT BRO! I heard months ago you were maybe quitting comics...so happy to hear you're not leaving us. Plus the car seemed empty with out your bald head. GB's and Neil's just weren't enough!!!
Michael Freedman-Schnapp says: I look forward to Dave Attell drawing me a picture. Good luck dude!
Jamie Tanner says: Thanks Kelly! Your project looks really interesting. Man, there are so many worthy, inspiring projects on Kickstarter...
Kelly Smith says: Hi Jamie - Love your project idea! I'm an unemployed artist who just launched my own project on kickstarter...
