Kickstarter Successful

I am pumped! My kickstarter fundraiser for the El Vocho graphic novel is a success. I raised $1,255 to help fund production and shipping of the book. It's a tough market for the indie graphic novel right now, to say the least, but with a hybrid sales picture including various and sundry distributors, retailers and events, this book is in the black and garnering interest.

The fundraiser runs through December 26 if anyone still wants to order El Vocho, or get some cool art from me.

I raised a total of $1320!

All the Tshirt rewards have gone out, the book has shipped to diamond and I have extra in stock. I'm working on the art rewards, and the book rewards ship next week (been really sick with bad throat over holidays, slowing things a bit)
