THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

No better way to celebrate a birthday than sharing it with all of you, my dear backers! Thank you for making this Kickstarter such a huge one, I really appreciate it =)

We've unlocked one more Stretch Goal over the weekend and we're now working towards a second version of one of the coolest promo items we've manufactured:

.

This Kickstarter has been phenomenal and it is with immense gratitude and pride that I also announce Kickstarter has picked us as a PROJECT WE LOVE meaning we will get featured up top and hopefully reach a bigger audience as we move forward \o/

Again this is a direct result of your support and pledges, thank you!

.

I hope everyone has a great day, I will be sure to take some time off with my family to blow out some candles now.

All the best!

Stretch Goal #3 UNLOCKED! Plus artist announcement for upcoming promo itens \o/
about 5 years ago – Fri, Mar 29, 2019 at 02:07:51 PM

EVERY PLEDGE TOWARDS A PRINT COPY OF THE BOOK WILL NOW GET A MINI-PRINT, A COLLECTIBLE CARD AND A BOOKMARK!

All featuring exclusively new commissioned art \o/

Hey Lost backers!

How exciting is this, we're not even through our first week and we have already unlocked our first three Stretch Goals, that is awesome! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR PLEDGING AND SUPPORTING THE SERIES!

The next Stretch Goal is already in our crosshairs and I really hope we can hit it by the time the weekend is over.

.

I've also spent some time these past couple of days contacting artists and locking them down for the Stretch Goals we've unlocked already and even some that I truly believe we will be able to unlock until the Kickstarter is over.

First up is an artist I will have the pleasure of working with for the very first time. His name is Tou Vue and I've gotten to know his art through his work for collectible cards giant Upper Deck on the latest Marvel Masterpieces set.

His art style is really unique and immediately caught my eye. I think he will deliver something truly special for our very first Fantasy Master series collectible card.

.

The second artist is an old collaborator from many projects together - including the Lost Kids. Clonerh is a complete master artist in every way. He draws, paints, colors in a myriad of styles and I just love watching him do different things. He's done fully painted artworks featuring characters and excelled at it. He's colored comic book pages and covers (like the exclusive Variant cover for Lost Kids Vol. 2) and he's also done environment pieces for games like this one for The Few and Cursed board game:

.

Last but not least I'm also re-teaming with Marvel artist Gilberto Martimiano Jr. for the Fantasy Master series collectible card #2 already hoping we will at least match what we raised on the first Lost Kids Kickstarter. Gilberto did one of the best Redhead illustrations ever (the Halloween special print) and he's also involved with the board game as well:

.

I still have more surprises to announce but that's more than enough for one update, right?

Please keep spreading the word about the Lost Kids and let's continue to keep unlocking those Stretch Goals. I'm really excited with the project and very grateful for all of you and your support.

All the best!

100% FUNDED AND TWO STRETCH GOALS UNLOCKED IN 48HRS!!! \o/

I'M IN AWE OF YOUR SUPPORT... YOU ARE ALL THE BEST BACKERS IN THE WORLD!!!

Thank you so much, really, for these phenomenal and quite overwhelming first 48 hours. Not only we've hit our initial goal, we've already soared past the first two Stretch Goals!

I'm actually so surprised that I'm playing catch up here as we move forward. I hadn't planned to unlock the first two Stretch Goals so quickly so bear with me as I go after the artists for the first extra items.

Really, everyone, thank you.

Now that we've unlocked the first two Stretch Goals you guys can keep up with our progress using the scoreboard below. Every time we unlock something new I will make an announcement and include the board so we know exactly what's next.

We have some pretty exciting premium collectibles to unlock and I sincerely hope we get to go all the way up to $40K. Can we do it?

 I think we can... ;)  

. 

The Limited Edition fine Mini-Print will be done by Marvel and Star Wars artist GERALDO BORGES!

Geraldo is no strange to the world of the Lost Kids having done a short three-page story for my follow-up book 321: Fast Comics Vol. 1. Although it only featured JJ, it was beautifully drawn with a lot of steampunk creativity around it:

Every backer pledging for a copy of the book in print will also get a gorgeous Mini-Print by Geraldo and I will update you all throughout the Kickstarter as he turns in layouts, pencils and inks.

We have also unlocked the first of which I hope will be a gorgeous set of collectible cards! I haven't gone out to artists yet - will do it today - but this is very exciting as the collection of cards I've done for The Few and Cursed has really become a highlight of the series.  

Please let's keep the momentum going, share The Lost Kids: Seeking Samarkand with your peers, friends and family. 

There is nothing like a personal referral. So take it to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, call up a friend, recommend the series in forums and groups. I'm positive we will make this Kickstarter campaign our best one yet! 

Please pass the following link and image forward, let's double down on our outstanding launch, shall we?

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the absolutely fantastic and well above my highest expectations start, I could not be more appreciative, my friends! 

Best!
