You guys are the best, seriously from the bottom of my heart thank you so much!!
I know you're all waiting to see the the "Peculiar Nobility" piece, I promise I'm working on it this very moment. For now here is another teaser (sorry!) Finished piece to be shown VERY SOON!
Peculiar Nobility, work in progress shot.
Shout out!
I also wanted to let you guys know about another awesome Kickstarter project being run by the amazing Sam Flegal! Sam's project Fateful Signs: The Illustrated Havamal is an illustrated tome dedicated to the ancient Norse poem "Havamal". It's truly gorgeous work and I think you guys might like it.
That's it for now, we are just getting started here!

Over 200%!!!
You guys! It's been only one week and we are now over 200% funded!!! Even in my most fevered dreams I never would have thought I'd get a response like this. Thank you all so much.
Now that we are at 200% every backer of a physical tier will receive the 9x12 print OF THE DEEP for free as a thank you.
Of The Deep, now included with every physical backer level!
Our next stretch goal will be at 300%! If we get there I will create a new original painting and document the process in a video tutorial! I'd love to get the painting done during the campaign but we will see if my schedule will mean that's possible.
I have also been thinking about how I can spruce up the book even more now that we are so far above where I'd ever imagine we'd be, I'll be talking to my printers about what we can do to make this book even more special.
Conventions!
It was AMAZING meeting so many of you at C2E2, very few things are more rewarding than putting faces to the support I've experienced here.

I'm hoping to repeat this pleasure again this coming weekend at WonderCon in LA! I'll be in artist alley, table C-26. Please drop by and say hi!
Hope to see you there!

Holymoley!
In just 36 hours we have reached 150% funding! That is so much more than I dared dream for this entire campaign, let alone at the very beginning!
Stretch Goals:
Let's talk about stretch goals. Folks have been asking me what stretch goals I am planning on. When I set this project up I did not compromise on the quality of the book, FATHOMS is being printed with the flourishes I've always wanted, the title will be golf foil and the paper quality is the best available already. Honestly I don't know what to stretch. As a thank you I have decided that if we reach 200% funding (20,000) I will add an extra FREE print for every backer! Which print that is will be reveal upon reaching the goal. So just be clear:
$20,000 Stretch goal: Every backer gets an additional FREE print!
"Peticular Nobility" Full reveal!
Left: Print, Right: Original painting
It's done! For everyone that backs at the DIVE tier or higher this is the print you will receive! The generous backer who pledged for the CRUSHING tier get the 9x12 original ink wash painting! I hope you guys like it.
Convention time! C2E2 in Chicago!
Those of you who are attending the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo (C2E2)
I'd love to see you!!! Please stop by artist alley table B16!
