Before and the aftermath
Hello beautiful backers!
585 packages shipped in two weeks, beyond a small handful of outliers everyone's orders have shipped!
Tracking number emails are auto mailed out to each of you, so check your spam if you haven't seen that. I am monitoring all the packages as they make their way through the mail system, hopefully most will make it home by late next week. Again please let me know if your book arrives too damaged and I will do everything I can to make it right.
Thank you all for your patience and encouragement in all this, thank you for sharing images of the book in your hands, seeing the it being enjoyed in the world is rewarding beyond my expectations.
This isn't quite the end yet, I haven't forgotten about the video tutorial stretch goal reward. Like everything else in this I need to make sure I do it right, so it might be a while before I have it for you, but it will be worth it! Keep an eye out for updates, I'll let you know when it's ready.
This weekend you will find me in artist alley at New York Comic Con! If you are attending please drop by and say hi! It's been so great meeting you guys over the year at various shows.
Find me at Artist Alley table V-14
Thats its for now! Thank you again for everything, I hope you enjoy FATHOMS :)

Hello beautiful backers!
In the thick of it.
I have shipped almost 500 packages now, 150 more to go! Things are going well and according to plan, I WILL have every order shipped by this time next week!
Some of you have already received your copy of FATHOMS!! It's been so rewarding seeing folks getting their books, I've had my head down working on this for so long now I never really stopped to think about what it would be like once the book was in people's hands. I hope you like it!
If your package arrives damaged or if anything is wrong with it please don't hesitate to let me know. You can message me on Kickstarter or email me at [email protected]. I'll do my best to make it right.
Okay, back to it! Next update will be a okay all done omg it's done, the update.

Hello dearest backers!
Shipping has begun! As of this update I have shipped 287 orders and have 369 left to go out.
Transport is away!
You will be receiving an email with tracking number when your order has shipped, then the package can take up to 5 days to arrive at your door within the US.
International orders will take longer to reach their destinations, there may also be taxes and duty fees to deal with depending on your country's customs laws. I have tried my best to minimize potential fees to you by trimming the declared merchandise value as low as legally possible.
One trip to the post office, I have been making two trips like this a day
I kissed each and every package for good luck, I hope each one reaches you in happy mint condition. If anything arrives damaged please contact me and I'll do what I can to make it right.
Okay, back to it. I will update as I progress.

Break it down, bring it up, setup operations!
Here we are are! The books arrived on two pallets weighing a total of 2700 lbs, that is almost one and a half TONS of books. We broke down the pallets and brought the boxes up a flight of stairs, I now live in a kickass box fort!
FINAL STEPS, PLEASE READ
I'm finally getting ready to ship!
I will lock down shipping addresses in 48 hours. That means you have two days to update your shipping address in your BackerKit survey.
If you need to recover your survey, click HERE and enter your email address to have your survey sent to you again.
For backers that have not answered surveys yet, you will still be able to get your rewards if you answer your surveys after the lockdown date but they may ship out later than the backers that have responded on time, if you've missed your survey you can get it HERE.
I'm currently aiming to ship rewards through September and maybe early October. If you need to change your shipping address please make the changes in your BackerKit survey in the next two days.
If you can make it, I am offering backer rewards pick up at the event! If you are planning on coming please say so in the comments below, I will hopefully have enough rewards ready for everyone but letting me know before hand will help immensely.
Event page HERE, let us know if you can make it. Can't wait to see you guys!
What's that in the window??
Dragon Con!
It was a pleasure meeting so many of you last weekend in Atlanta! It was an amazing show and I was stunned to receive two awards from the art show jury!
Whisper won Best black and white work; Only Fear Shall Follow Thee won second place for Best in show! Remember Only Fear is featured in the process section of FATHOMS with my thoughts and painting breakdown!
Whisper (Left), Only Fear Shall Follow Thee (Right)
Okay, that's it for now guys! Remember, update your address if you need to and let me know if you can make it to the signing next Saturday.
Thank you and <3

Hi guys!!
Quick update, I'm going to be at DRAGON CON! I know a number of you discovered my work there last year, come by and say hello this year! I'll even have an advanced copy of FATHOMS on hand for you to check out.
Bay Area Launch and Signing!
For my local Bay area backers, we are doing a little launch event at my local comic book store, Dr. Comics Mr. Games! If you are interested it will be on September 17th, 1-4pm, event page HERE!
I'm working out a system for you to pick up your rewards at the event, so stay tuned for that in the next few weeks! Someone local missed the Kickstarter? Bring them along, I'll have books and prints for sale at the event.
That's it for now! Next week the full order is due, I'll make sure you guys get to see all the carnage.
