Final Day!
over 8 years ago – Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 06:35:11 PM

Wow, did Mummy Month fly by fast or what?

It's a BIG day today... our final day. Here's a look at what we have for stretch goals:

 As you can see... a lot of cool stuff still to unlock in our final day. And we're really closing in on both the next Comic Print:

And the 500 backer bonus...

So, let's keep sounding the Mummy's Always Right horn today!

Check this out!

 

My buddy Alex Cormack sent me this awesome Mummy's Always Right piece. 

Alex actually has a cool comic book project on Kickstarter that he drew for Enrica Jang. 

Crossing #1 is a paranormal relationship drama that looks pretty awesome... because everything Alex does is great!

Last Sidewalk Chalk Winners!

As you know, we've been selecting winners for some bonus sidewalk chalk all campaign long... as this is our last day, we have to announce our final winners.

Sarah H., Erica K. B., and Nicole L. are our final three winners. 

Can't wait to see some sidewalk art from all of our winners! 

And if I haven't said it enough...

Thank you.

Thanks for helping make this book happen. 

It started out as a book for my two girls but has grown into something much more with all of your support. 

If we unlock any stretch goals today, I'll let you know in an update. 

But otherwise, I look forward to taking this campaign to the next phase and getting copies of Mummy's Always Right into all of your hands.

P.S. There's also a big Mummy's Always Right related announcement coming today that has nothing to do with the Kickstarter... I'll let you know when that news breaks!

2 Days LEFT! More Mummy Munnies Unlocked!
over 8 years ago – Thu, Jun 16, 2016 at 02:11:51 PM

Hey, everyone, I've got some awesome news! 

Part of the reason I've been limiting the number of GAWS original art dolls is that I've been limited as to the number of MUNNY figures I could get my hands on... I literally cleared out my local art store of them

But, I just got my hands on a fresh box! 

 

So, once again, 5 more GAWS dolls are available, and once again, they are on a first come first serve basis. 

 So just respond in this thread by saying "I want GAWS!"  

We'll confirm, and they'll you'll just need to manage your pledge to add for the extra $49. 

These go super fast, so if you want one, let me know!

I also wanted to share with you the awesome finished MUMMY'S ALWAYS RIGHT Indiana Jones inspired print you all voted on. 

Jules Rivera did her usual, AMAZING, job on the colors and really knocked this one outta the ballpark. 

It might be my personal favorite of the entire bunch. (But there sure are a lot to chose from.)

Remember, everyone pledging $39+ and up are getting this print, because we already added it as an unlocked stretch goal!

MORE STRETCH GOALS WAITING IN THE WINGS:

Next Up, at $13,500, we're going to be adding this awesome New Mutants #98(First appearance of Deadpool) themed print to the $25 and up pledge levels. 

And the BIG 500 BACKER MILESTONE will see is adding this GLOW-IN-THE-DARK CREATURE COVE emblem to everyone's books!

Then if we really wanna go for the gold, the BIG 20K stretch goal will see ZOE herself wrap me up like a MUMMY, live and on video. It's something that will NOT be forgotten anytime soon. 

We're down to the final 2 days to spread our MUMMY MADNESS to as many people as possible. 

So tweet, text, post, pic and scream all you can about MUMMY'S ALWAYS RIGHT! 

3 Days Left! Stretch Goal Unlocked!
over 8 years ago – Wed, Jun 15, 2016 at 07:56:59 AM

More Stretch Goals Waiting in the Wings:

Next up, at $13,500, we're adding a new Comic Book Themed print to the $25 and up pledge levels. 

 

And the big 500 Backer Milestone will see us adding that Glow-In-The-Dark Creature Cove emblem to everyone's books. 

 

And the big stretch goal, which has Zoey licking her chops, is to Mummify Me!

 

Only three days left to spread the Mummy Madness. Let's see how we do!

Help me choose the "Creature Cove" Emblem!
over 8 years ago – Tue, Jun 14, 2016 at 08:44:18 AM

Wow, big Friday!

 Not only that... but we've unlocked more GAWS Munnys! 

They are available now as super limited add-ons to any pledge for +$49 US (+$69 INT.)  

Want One? 

Here's how to get one:  

1) In the comments below, write "I want GAWS!"  

2) The first 5 backers to claim a doll in the comments will be able to add to their pledge to reserve their doll.  

3) After you comment, we'll confirm your claimed doll, and you can up your current pledge to lock it in.  

Note: These dolls will ship shortly after the campaign is over... they'll help you pass the time waiting for the book to arrive!  

Help Me Choose a Creature Cover Emblem!

So, with less than a week to go, I'm thrilled at how far this campaign has come. 

As I started creating Mummy's Always Right, and populating it with other monster characters, it was impossible not to start thinking of stories for other members of GAWS' Boo Crew.

I would love to do more books in the "Creature Cove" series... but if that's the case, I should probably come up with an emblem or logo for Creature Cove

So, I worked with my crack support team of Deron Bennett and Jules Rivera to work up some options and these are the three finalists. 

 

 

Which Creature Cove emblem do you like the best: A, B, or C?

Leave a comment with your vote below to help me pick. This is important, because...

New Stretch Goal Alert!

I've added a new stretch goal... 

If we can hit 500 backers, I'll add a Glow-In-The-Dark Creature Cove emblem to every board book!

I know my little girls will get a kick out of that, and hope you will like it, too.
