Update #3: Week Three / Inktober

Posted on October 8, 2009

Hey everybody - just a quick update for week 3 of funding...

Since last week, we've gone up over $6000! Strangely, I'm not certain just which backer tipped it over that amount - I suspect there may be one of you out there who bumped up your donation amount a little bit? If this is the case, and you deliberately raised your donation to push the total over $6000, send me a message or an email and the little Bird-Man with balloon drawing from the previous update is all yours. And just in case my math is a little screwy (which is probable), I'll also be giving bonus drawings to the backers who pledged just before $6000 (Morgan Miller - hi, Morgan!) and just after (Matt Madden, a fine cartoonist himself - thanks, Matt!).

I'm also thrilled to welcome backer #100 (!) to this little adventure - Ryan Hipp, a bonus reward will be headed your way as well (and as soon as I draw it I'll post it here).

Lots more to come soon. In the meantime, if you'd like to see some new art from me on a daily basis, I'm participating in an illustration event called Inktober. As a great way of warming up or keeping the ol' drawing muscles in shape, I'll be doing a new drawing directly in ink each day in October. You can follow these as they're completed over on my twitter or flickr. See below for a few odd examples. Thanks! Talk to you soon...
