Hi everyone!
I know I'm a bit late to this but WOOHOO WE DID IT!! The Kickstarter is over! We raised so much more than I could have ever imagined! THANK YOU!! For all of your support!!
FIRST, I'm waiting on the funds from Kickstarter (should take 14 days). Please double-check that your cards haven't error-ed! There are a few folks with error-ed cards! Kickstarter gives folks 1 week to fix this and if it isn't fixed your pledge is dropped and I can no longer send you your rewards!
SECOND, I'm working with Backer-Kit right now and setting up a means to allow folks to add-on zines... I'm also hugely debating on creating a coffee table book add-on. This is a very expensive purchase (yes we were close to the 13k but not quite there) on my part so, if you will bear with me, I would need your insight about whether this would be a good idea for me to pursue.
Here are the coffee table book specs:
I've set up a SURVEY HERE please please be honest. If you are not interested in the book please state as much.
FINALLY, don't forget to vote on the NEXT theMAM SUBJECT!! These surveys will close at the end of the 14 days it takes for Kickstarter to send me the funds and I will update everyone with the new Mythology as well as send out the Backer-Kit surveys with any add-ons you folks might be interested in!
Thank you for everything you've all done so far! If you have any questions/comments feel free to leave a comment on the page and/or message me through Kickstarter! I'll do my best to keep up with all of you!
Thank you Thank you THANK YOU!!

Hi everyone!!
I'm completely flabbergasted and astounded!! We hit the Greek Monster's stretch goal AND still climbing!!
What does that mean?? I will be drawing another 'full zine's worth' of characters 25-30 Greek Monsters for the Omnibus and creating a Limited Edition Run of all the Greek Monsters Zine so only folks who pledge to the Kickstarter will be able to buy those! (If you're a demi-god tier you will now be able to choose the Greek Monsters minizine!).
I've also gone ahead and revealed the last of the stretch goals since we are the final week of the Kickstarter and since I'm about to head out to Montreal Comiccon this weekend (come say hi if you're around!! I'm table 2206!!)
Here's what the stretch goals look like!!
There's a lot of big numbers up there BUT there's still 5 days to go!! Thank you SO MUCH everyone!!

Hi everyone!!!
Its PARTY TIME!! We've just got funded!! AMAZING!! This is this biggest feat I've ever managed for any sort of publishing goal!
I want to start off by saying: Thank you THANK YOU!!! If not for your faith in my project we wouldn't be here! HOWEVER!! There is still 10 days to go until the end of the campaign!
I have a couple stretch goals planned and I've released the two first goals and I would love to tell you a little bit about them! I talked a little about these in the stream today so some folks know a little about these already!
As I have created various zines of other themes within Greek Mythology I had always vaguely planned to do a 'Greek Monsters' group to match. I wasn't sure how popular these would be in comparison to the others so I put the idea on pause until now! If we hit 7K I will add monsters to The Book as well as a small zine format for anyone collecting the zines! (If you pledged for Titan you will automatically get this one added to your tier!)
This one might have some folks raising their eyebrows... 'what's the difference between The Book and the Coffee Table Book?' The CTB will not only be Hardcover but will also have a much more extensive overview of some mythological characters. It will be a project that will open up it's own reward tier and will probably run until next year (backers for this will get a whole bunch of updates along the way as to the progress of this project!)
Essentially The Book is a visual dictionary, a reference tool that will help folks understand the difference between the characters in a concise and detailed (enough) way. The CoffeeTableBook will be more of an art piece! I will draw a lot more of the characters in action sequences/tell their stories in a more 'story' way.
I hope that helps!! Thank you so much for everything you've done so far! OH: One last thing before I end this update: there WILL be another Kickstarter Livestream!! Today's was very fun (it is up on the Kickstarter page for the next 48 hours)!! The next one I promise I will give you all much more advance warning before I launch it!
Thank you everyone!! 10 days!! We can do this!!!
