Final Mummy Monday! Get your crayons out!
over 8 years ago – Tue, Jun 14, 2016 at 08:43:50 AM

Here we are, the final Monday of the Mummy's Always Right campaign! 

Earlier, you guys voted and an Indiana Jones-themed Mummy-Mashup print was the next one you wanted to see... Well here it is:

I went a little overboard with this one. Jules Rivera is coloring this bad-boy as we speak, but I thought some of you might want to download a colorable version yourselves. 

Click here to download a Black and White Mummiana Jones print and color page.

Stretch Goal Alert!

And it's also worth noting that we're closing in adding that print to everyone's pledge who is getting the Pop Culture Fan Bundle ($39 and up!)

We Have a Creature Cove Emblem!

I also want to thank the hundred or so people who shared their votes for a Creature Cove emblem with us here and on our Facebook page.

While we did receive votes for all three... 

Emblem A was far and away the top choice. So that's the one we're going with!

(Also, it was fun to learn that some of you are REALLY afraid of spiders!)

Stretch Goal Alert Number 2

If we can get this campaign up to 500 backers between now at 10 pm Friday, every Mummy's Always Right book will get a GLOW-IN-THE DARK Creature Cove emblem added to the cover!

Guys, I couldn't resist...

Even though Indiana Jones won the backer voting for my next Mummy Mash-up, I had to do a Ghostbusters-inspired poster with the Creature Cove crew, too.

Want This Full Sized Poster Added to Your Pledge?

Add +$20 to your pledge (+$30 Int) and a full-sized print of this poster will be yours.

This will be a full-sized 11x17 poster.  

Note: Indy fans... don't be disappointed, I'm still doing that piece, too. In fact, I think it's the best thing I've drawn all year... can't wait to show you. 

Winner Winner, Mummy Dinner

Ivy Ann from Jefferson City, MO and Dennis M. from Hudson, MA join the ranks of the Mummy Chalk winners. Congrats guys, and thanks for having our backs!

It's Mummy Monday Once Again
over 8 years ago – Wed, Jun 08, 2016 at 06:51:55 AM

Hey, I'm back with a few campaign updates!

First, thanks so much for the early feedback on MummyToons!

I've had a lot of fun making these strips! 

If you haven't downloaded your copy of MummyToons yet, click here. 

 

Today's Feature Pledge: The Mulvey Monster Commission Bundle

You guys might know that in addition to my comic and illustration work, I take on commissions from time to time.

Commissions are original art requests from fans and art collectors who want to see me draw some of their favorite characters in my art style.

 

For example, here's a recent commission I did for a fan who wanted to see a Mulvey take on the 90s era X-men, from the cartoon. As a huge fan of that show growing up myself, it was a blast to do. 

For Mummy Month, I've closed down my commission list everywhere but this campaign... 

So, if you'd like to see me draw whatever you can imagine and get an original piece of art, as well as help this campaign stretch even higher, definitely check out the Mulvey Monster Commission Pledge level.

StretchGoal Alert

Speaking of stretch goals, we're closing in on unlocking some additional Mummy original art dolls... and there are some new prints waiting in the wings to be unlocked. 

Chalk Contest Winners

  • Scott M. from Vestavia Hills, AL
  • Somcak Somcak

Congrats and thanks once again for your support!

Finally, Warm up Sketch of the Day

One of my drawing rituals is to start all drawing sessions with a 15-20 minute "warm-up" art sketch. Here is today's:

Turtle Power! Joe Mulvey Warm-up Sketch
Turtle Power! Joe Mulvey Warm-up Sketch

For the rest of the campaign, I'm going make these daily warm-ups available to backers as an add-on for +$39 to their pledge. (+$44 INT.)

If you see a warm up you like, be the first to comment in the thread the sketch appears in. 

Want Turtle Power?
