Thanks to everyone who contributed!

Release Date: Summer 2013!

Kickstarter is ALL or NOTHING.  If you don’t meet your monetary goal you do not receive any funds to produce the product (makes sense because I can’t print the books without the seed money anyway).

So how can we lose enough money to drop below 100%? There are two ways.  First, some people seem to get cold feet and back out of their pledge if looks like it will actually be funded.  I knew about this and I have been told to expect a little of this toward the end.

BUT, I have recently been told that after the project ends, and credit cards are actually charged for the pledges, that there is another percentage of payments I can expect not to go through (declined cards I guess).  What scares me about this second method is that if enough money is not collected that my funding drops below $5,000, then I will get nothing at all.  So essentially the project could end next Monday being fully funded, and then some of the credit cards are declined and it sabotages the project for EVERYONE.  Obviously that would be a major bummer.

In general I think things are looking pretty good, but since there is no “safe zone” I think the bigger cushion we have above the goal the better!  If you are thinking about backing the project but have been holding off, or you want to upgrade your reward level NOW IS THE TIME!

Send the link to friends, tell your colleagues about it!  Let’s do ONE LAST PUSH!

Thanks for all your help everyone!

Hey Everyone!  My Kickstarter project is now at 90% funding!  Only $500 left to raise before the project gets the green light and I can move forward!  I haven’t just been sitting on my behind, however.  As you backers have been adding up, I have been working hard to finalize some artwork – here’s a sneak peek at some of the colored pages!

Help the project reach the goal HERE!

Thanks for getting me this far!

Hey Everyone!  Last week Threadless released a 16-shirt collection of designs by ME!  They came all the way to Portland to throw a launch party and film this little spot about me!  Coolness overload!

Here are all the NEW SHIRTS!

The launch party was also TONS of fun!  I did a large drawing there that was raffled off at the end of the night!

Please help me make this book a reality and SPREAD THE WORD!!!!

If you REALLY wanna help me promote the book, you can print out some of these nifty fliers and hang them all around town!

A few months back Threadless (a t-shirt company in Chicago) invited me to develop a line of shirt designs to be part of their spotlight on Portland. The time has finally come for the launch! Threadless is heading out to Portland and will be having an AWESOME launch party for me and three other Portland artists! They will have a DIY screen printing station, be serving tamales, free booze*, and I will be doing a piece of art live that they will raffle off at the end of the night! It promises to be a fun
