Update #14: The Book and Its BIG BIG Party
Hello Backers and Potential Customers,
I know it's been a long time since the last update, and some of you are sitting there, pen held tentatively over paper, waiting for inspiration. WHERE you are thinking IS THAT VALUABLE BOOK?
WELL: The book is at the printer, and though things could still go horribly horribly wrong, as is the nature of the universe, we've planned an amazing party for you all, here in Brooklyn, NY.
If you can make it, we'll give you the book and your prizes when you arrive. We'll also have cool t-shirts and tote bags to sell, and books for those that didn't get in on the ground floor.
So SAVE THE DATE BECAUSE ALL ARE WELCOME:

I work as a writer and web producer in New York City, but maintain a second life as an artist and unserious writer in Brooklyn. Nowadays, my output is 90% doodle/10% birthday cards. I have recently finished my first book, "How To Doodle," co-doodled with Andrew Cleary. We hope you will like it; it's pretty silly.
Very cool! =)
