Video Book Review by 'The Art and Making of' YouTube Channel!

It fills me with great pride to share this newly released The Last Amazon Book Review by the YouTube channel 'The Art and Making of'! As an artist, it is one's hope to have their art seen and appreciated on its own merits. We took a lot of risks with The Last Amazon and tried something wildly different and innovative in the field of graphic novel storytelling. 'The Art and Making of' truly grokked what we were trying to do, and seemed to appreciate it greatly. This is a wonderful feeling and would have been impossible without all of you!

TLA International Shipping Update and PATREON

First off, International Backers, rest assured, your books are on their way! Due to the increase of book size, and a few other factors, (yay for upgrades!) not just printing, but also shipping is more expensive than we had previously budgeted the Kickstarter for. I tried to negotiate with UPS, USPS, and FedEx about this, but shipping prices are hard to haggle on. Domestic shipping prices did not change much, but for international, it has made a huge difference.

Books Are Shipping!!!

So far, all USA domestic backers (who answered the survey) have had their books shipped! International orders are next, and all should be out by next week! After backers who answered the survey have books shipped to them, I will reach out individually to folks who did not answer the survey (and then I will do website orders.) If you have not yet answered the Kickstarter survey but are reading this, please tell us your address so we can ship you your books asap!

Shipping Dates! Finally!

Shipping Dates! Finally!

Great news! We will receive the books here in Colorado on January 30th. From there we will be signing and shipping each and every book out to you all individually which will obviously take some time, too. Although I am not sure as to how many books I can personally sign and ship out in a single day, my guess is that it will take me two to three weeks to get all the books out, meaning you should get your books by mid-February or early March!

Shipping Update and Prints

For the past 5ish months, I've been in near constant contact with our overseas printer and I am amazed at how many times they keep pushing back our delivery date. Despite this, the books, posters, and prints are all done and waiting to be shipped--and look amazing. I'm told I should get final overseas shipping info next week. So, that's really good news!

Paris Comic Con was a BLAST! As you can see, Paula (David's wife) and I are sporting official The Last Amazon cosplay suits! We had a truly wonderful time promoting Last Amazon in Paris. People really enjoyed the book and I know you all will feel the same. We have put so much heart and love into this epic graphic novel, and when you hold it in your hands, I know you will feel how passionate we are about this project and our growing studio!
