Hey, there! 

Hope those of you in the states are having a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. 

I'm back with a bunch of great Mummy news...

5 More GAWS Original Art Dolls Available... NOW!

We now entered 5-digit territory, and that means I'm making 5 more original art dolls. 

Now, the first 5 dolls I made available last week went in about 40 minutes (crazy!)

If you missed out, now is your chance! Five more are available as add-ons to any pledge for +$49 US (+$69 INT.)  

Want One?  Here's how to get GAWS:

1) In the comments OF THIS UPDATE,  write "I want GAWS!" 

(Note: Some of you left comments on the main Kickstarter page... please leave your comments on this update, not the main page, so we can track who got theirs in first.)

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!

Tomorrow: A Special Backer's Only Bonus... Especially for Comic Book Fans

Honestly, before I launched this campaign, the max I thought we could raise on this, my first children's book project, was $10K.  The fact that we're above that with more than 2-weeks left is amazing. 

So, I'm putting together something cool for you guys... another extra, courtesy of your pal, Joe. 

Finally, Here's Another Cool Project on Kickstarter

I was browsing Kickstarter for some other cool projects, and Melvin here caught my eye! These pictures are beautiful, and creator Joshua Margolis is a clay sculptor with crazy talent. 

I love this project (and Kickstarter loves it, too.)

Check it out here.

Backer Bonus: Joe Mulvey Cover Gallery!

Hey, I've got something cool for you guys! 

You've heard me talk about Mummy's Always Right being something totally new for me... my first children's book. 

Well, for the past decade, I've been working hard as a comic book artist... it's crazy how those pages and pin-ups pile up over time. 

 

I pulled together a new digital download collecting all of the covers I've worked on over the past five years. 

Click here to download the Make Mine Mulvey Cover Gallery (2012-2016) to check out more of my art. 

You'll see that GAWS and the world of Creature Cove is a big shift from my usual style... but I'm proud of all of the books I've worked on past, present, and hopefully future. 

New Pledge Alert!

Speaking of which...  I just added a new pledge, especially for graphic novel fans.

 

Imagine you had superpowers... in Vegas. 

That was the premise of my very first series, SCAM, which is available in a GLORIOUS oversized hardcover. 

 

This collection contains not only the entire SCAM mini-series, but also the 100+ page SCAMthology, featuring superpowered con-man stories in the SCAM universe, told by a virtual who's who of up-and-coming and arrived comic book talent, including Joe Eisma (Morning Glories), Amy Chu (Poison Ivy), Rich Douek (Gutter Magic), Nick Pitarra (The Manhattan Projects), CP Wilson (The Stuff of Legend), and so many more. 

 

The way I see it, Mummy's Always Right is a great book to read to the kids before bed... and then mummy and daddy can crack open a copy of SCAM for themselves.

If you haven't checked out SCAM yet, this campaign is a great way to do it. 

You can add a copy of SCAM to any $15+ pledge for +$30 US (+$59 INT).  Sorry about the hefty international shipping cost... but it's a 3-pound book! We don't call it the Ultimate Collection for nothing!

Winner Alert!

Backer Paul Saunders is getting a box of sidewalk chalk sent to his door. Congrats, Paul! 

Here's where you register to win a box o'chalk!
