It's my Birthday! AHhhh! You guys, I can't think of a better birthday gift than seeing all the support shown so far, thank youuuu! It's the 2nd week and we've reach the first two stretch goals: Hardcover with gold foil added to the book.
Working on finalizing the cover art today so when that's wrapped up I'll be sure to share it here. Afterwards, the focus will shift to planning for the next stretch goal and seeing how I can make the interior pages more elegant.
Here is a preview of the draft lines for the front & back cover so far:
Talking with parents, many express how they look for books to share with their kids. It's very rewarding to work on something that's all ages and so I'm happy to share this other kid-friendly project with ATC supporters!

Next Stretch Goal : Gold Foil

Current Kickstarter Status:
Going for the gold foil as the next stretch goal and I'll tell you why....you guys are such awesome supporters I need time to go over what will be really fun to add to the book! My mind is still spinning that ATC will be hardcover.
So far people have suggested adding more pages to the book with new content or a character bio page, an art book, and some enjoyed the idea of a box cover sleeve. With all the enthusiasm you make me think anything is possible!
Will stretch goals be added to the digital tier?
Any content that gets added to the physical book will definitely be added to the PDF, but I would love to hear what you'd like to see added to the digital tier. Let's make it spicy!
First Stretch Goal UNLOCKED!

It's happening, all the books will become hardcover! How else shall we make this book amazing? I have a few ideas to add to the stretch goal list but what would make YOU excited?
Here are a few ideas that might be fun:
Gold Foil on the cover - We want to bedazzle this thing and make it shine! Tastefully, of course.
Slip cover box - There be dragons that might find it tasty. A box would obviously deter a dragon and protect it.
I need to run some numbers and look at a few quotes, but let me know what you think!
And THANK YOU! When the stretch goal was listed on the page, I really thought it might be asking to much. So happy you want to see ATC as a hardcover!
Cheers!
We Met the First Goal!!!!

We just raised $12,000 in 2 days!
Can you believe it? Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the amount of outpour of support for ATC over these past two days. Thank you guys so much for helping to push this project forward, holy cow...we did it!
I can't help but flash back to when the very first page was drawn and where I was as an artist. So much has happened in the past 5 years. I met amazing people in the comic book community, the start of the comic is when I adopted my little kitty Lui....to when I started sharing the comic at conventions. I met my fiancé at Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco! And when the campaign ends we're sending it to PRINT! AHHH!
Okay, so we met the first goal. Now what?
Oh boy, do you want to see it in hardcover as much as I DO????
We are now at $13,439 which means we are sooooo close to meeting the first stretch goal! If you haven't already, please help to share the Kickstarter page by using the share feature or you can use the url right here to help spread the word: http://kck.st/2wIkxAq
All stretch goals will be going straight to making the book even better! Wouldn't it be rad to include gold foil on the cover? Maybe have it's own BOX? I need to get busy planning out new design ideas for all the possibility of how it can be pushed further!
Thank you again for making this possible! AHH! So thankful!
