OH MAN SO MUCH IS GOING ON

a) LITTLE CASTLE FRIENDS

These are what I spent my afternoon making yesterday, whilst procrastinating all the big commission-type things I really should have been making. But they're kinda cute huh? See more pics and/or let me know what you think in the ReproForum.

b) THE BOOK REVIEWS ARE COMING IN

Hey people have been buying my book and have begun telling me lots of nice things about it! Most folks are rating it somewhere between "pretty awesome" to "1000% awesome" which is fantastic to hear! The one thing some people with not-so-good eyesight have pointed out is that some type is a little small and may be hard to read. I apologize for this, but if the book was bigger by even a half inch in either dimension, it would have been much more expensive due to the constraints of the machine we printed it on. Anyway, you can check out some quick reviews and impressions over at Fleen, in my forum, and even in this video! There were lots more in my email too, but I'm not about to link you to my inbox. THANKS FOR BUYING MY BOOK EVERYBODY

c) I'VE BEEN BOOTLEGGED!!

Crapsticks! My reign of ghost-making must be soon be coming to a close, as a young whippersnapper who calls himself Sgt. McFriddles McBoogles McCoy has stolen my ideas and made his whole battalion of wooden ghost toys. See more examples of his unrepentant bootlegging efforts here, here, here and yes, here.

d) SECRET STUFF

There is a lot of new projects that will finally emerge in the next few weeks and I will tell you about them soon! They are secret.

WE SET IT TO AWESOME

Here are some quick pictures of the actual book! It is really better than I ever expected. It has a nice heft to it and the color and resolution are PERFECT. The first edition run of 400 is just finishing up in Los Angeles, so we are on schedule to begin shipping out all the pre-orders next Monday! I have had a good time making all the extra goodies for the Deluxe Combos as well. I can't wait to see what you guys think!

Also pre-orders will end on Saturday, and when the books are actually in my hands, the price will go up a little bit. So, in short, buy the book before Saturday, save yourself a couple of bucks.
