Project Update: Happy 33 Thursday! Let's get up to speed!
Hey guys!
Apart from chatting with a few people in DMs or elsewhere, long time no update! I feel like every week I mean to sit down and give everyone the scoop, but the time just keeps on slipping. So here is the full transparency update on what's been up:
Apart from chatting with a few people in DMs or elsewhere, long time no update! I feel like every week I mean to sit down and give everyone the scoop, but the time just keeps on slipping. So here is the full transparency update on what's been up:
Personally:
- I really wanted to get this all done within the year mark of the crowdfunding, but back in March I had an opportunity for a new job that really took over my life for two months (look out for Mountainhead streaming May 31st on Max 😏). That job has wrapped and before anything else starts I have been catching up on my home life and this project.
- Unfortunately, in taking on new work and finding myself between projects for the first time since 2020, my mental health has not been tip top the last few weeks. Turns out not having guaranteed employment and a baby on the way can stress you out. But I have started some new treatments and things feel much brighter!
The Book:
- The book remains perpetually at 80% complete. As I have said in past updates, every time I came close to finishing, I would pull it apart and tinker. I want to make sure it's as good as it can be before it's committed to print.
- The great news is: I am very happy with it! All that remains this time is to proofread it, add some last details, and it will be locked and loaded.
- Due to the quantities I am ordering and where I am ordering from, tariffs should not impact anything.
- I wish I had a better ETA other than 'soon,' but that's as much as I can hope for right now!
The Extras:
- In the course of working on my last job, I met a new printer and I am re-ordering the free March Madness prints. I wasn't satisfied with the last ones. These ones will be printed on nice watercolor paper. I will post a picture when I get them!
- Part of the difficulty in figuring out this book was evolving ideas on presenting a story alongside the artwork. Ultimately I decided that the book would be better without, but I have decided that I will release a supplementary zine at some point (after the books are delivered, of course). This will come to all backers free of charge as a big 'Thank You' for your ongoing patience with the project.
Thank you all so much for supporting me. I always told myself I would never launch a crowdfunding project unless it was ready to order because I figured it could get in the weeds like this, and I was unfortunately right 😅 But that's okay, it's all a learning experience. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
You're the best!
