Update #9: 33.3%

Posted 4 days ago

Dear people of Kickstarter,

Everything you see in the picture below was mailed today (except for James; he was not mailed). James can be seen doing a great job fiercely protecting your packages. He takes all of this very seriously (as he really should).

If you like, you may go stand by your mailbox waiting for the package to arrive starting now. That would be perfectly normal.

A word of caution though: while it may look like 50 trillion packages were mailed today (camera adds about 49.9999999 trillion packages), we are a little over 1/3rd of the way there. BUT the good news is that James is resting (see picture 2 for evidence of this) so that he can start afresh tomorrow and mail even more packages.

love, hugs and mailboxes,
Safwat (& James)

Update #8: Stuff is Shipping + A New Video!

Posted on May 21

Hi all!

Some of you may have felt something amazing this past week. The feeling of opening your mailbox, expecting to receive stupid coupons and bills you don't want to pay but instead you see a package. A package containing stuff that brings you joy and makes you forget all your concerns. If you received such a package, it probably wasn't from us.

However, if you received a package with Oh Expletive prints or t-shirts, then that's most probably from us. What I'm trying to say is that we've started shipping. We've been shipping stuff for several hours each evening and pretty much all day Sunday. In fact the only break we took on Sunday was to watch Game of Thrones (will someone please punch King Joffrey in the family jewels already?!).

Being a one-man and one-dog operation, it will take us a while to ship everything. And by a while I mean the next 3-4 weeks to get done with everything. We're not shipping  in any order so it's difficult to say exactly when a particular person's stuff will be shipped but the 8-bit Attack t-shirts will be shipped last as there were some issues with the printing (we are reprinting them this week so that you have a great t-shirt).

Thank you again for all the support with making this project happen. We hope that you like  your prints and t-shirts as much as we do. Also, below is a short video we made at the request of the Kickstarter people. It's not very funny but we hope you pretend to like it anyway.

love, hugs and Valyrian steel,
Safwat (& James)

Update #7: Getting There

Posted on April 22

Hi all,

Just a quick update to let you know that we're making solid progress with the prints and t-shirts. Attached are some (low-res) photos taken by Crystal Phelps as she does her magic. Most of the prints are now done and it has taken quite some time to get here. We're about 10 days away from wrapping up all the prints.

The t-shirts have been ordered, screens have been made and they are set to print as well. They'll all be printed this week.

I plan to start shipping packages in about two weeks. So that puts us about a week and a half behind schedule but James assures me that he'll make up for this delay by putting something extra in all your packages. And he also assures me that the something extra will most definitely NOT be poop but will be something cool that you'll actually like. He didn't want to say anymore because he wants it to be a surprise. James is really thoughtful like that.

love, hugs and thoughtful surprises,
Safwat (& James) /  http://facebook.com/safwtf

      I love this stuff. Being the creative type (I am always making something) I like seeing the inner guts of the process. This looks like fun times. Congrats on the KS by the way.
