Big news!
I’m working on getting enough money to print up Freewheel: Volume One so I’ve decided to hold a virtual fundraising campout! Check out the Freewheel: Volume One Fundraising Campout Page for details and to see how you can help, and what you’ll get in return! You can get all kinds of stuff based on your level of funding, from a simple signed copy of the book to YOUR FACE on a background character to the opportunity to name a character and much more!
All funders will receive email updates every two weeks!
All funders will be personally thanked in the book!
All funders will receive a personalized certificate by mail indicating their name and level of funding!
Even if you don’t have the means to help out financially, you can also help by spreading the word! Let people know about the Freewheel Fundraising Campout! Every little bit helps!
Jamie’s finished packing and she’s gonna walk right out that door! Where is she gonna go? Maybe we’ll learn more next week!
Hey, so the Freewheel: Volume One Fundraising Campout is going great so far! I just started it on Tuesday and already I’ve raised $98 to go towards the $2500 it will cost for me to print Freewheel: Volume One! So far the campout has a Can of Beanz, two Can Openers, and two sets of Matches! Who’s bringing the Firewood? It could be you!
Check out the Freewheel: Volume One Fundraising Campout page for details on the seven levels of funding options and what you can get as a funder of Freewheel: Volume One! Everybody gets something, and the more you give the more you get! Each and every funder will be thanked personally in the book, will receive a personalized certificate indicating their name and level of funding, and will receive email updates every two weeks!
Most funders also get a signed copy of the book before it becomes available to the public, and some even get cool stuff like a signed print, 9×12 pencil-and-ink commission, or even the opportunity to see their face on a background character in the very book they’re helping to fund! Check it out!
Jamie’s out on her own and it’s getting dark! I have a feeling she doesn’t totally know where she is. And where’s that voice coming from? Things begin to unfold on Thursday! Think of it as my Christmas Eve gift to you! Unless you don’t celebrate Christmas, in which case you can consider it my Regular Thursday gift to you!
Don’t forget – the Freewheel: Volume One Fundraising Campout is still going strong! I have until the end of February to raise the $2500 required to print Freewheel: Volume One and so far, I’ve managed to raise $508! Just $1992 left to raise!
Check out the Freewheel: Volume One Fundraising Campout page and see all the different funding levels and what you can get for various amounts, anywhere from $8 to $500! There are a variety of funding gifts, ranging from signed copies of the book once it’s printed, to original pages from the book, to the ability to name a hobo or even see your own face on a background character! And EVERY funder, no matter how large or small, will be thanked by name in the book!
Two months left to go!
Happy Christmas Eve, if you’re into that kind of thing!
Who’s this weird old guy? He seems friendly enough though. Will Jamie follow him? What do you guys think?
The Freewheel: Volume One Fundraising Campout is still going strong! The last time I checked, we were up to $528, leaving only $1972 left to raise! My husband was born in 1972, so it’s a magic number! Check out the Campout page and see how you can help! It’s a great way to spend all that holiday cash burning a hole in your pocket! I just bought the ISBN #s and bar code for Freewheel: Volume One so the process is already underway! How exciting.
What the hell is this crazy weird guy talking about? Will Jamie follow him? Only a few pages left in Chapter One, so stay tuned!
Meanwhile, back at the Freewheel: Volume One Fundraising Campout, funding has stalled! We are stuck at $528 out of the necessary $2500! Check out the Campout page to see how you can help get Freewheel: Volume One printed AND get a bunch of cool stuff at the same time! We only have two months to raise the funds for the first printing! Check it out! Even if you can’t afford to help fund Freewheel: Volume One yourself, tell your friends! Every little bit helps!
Last page of 2009! Whoa! The very last page of Chapter One is coming up on Tuesday! Crazy!
I hope you all had a good holiday, mine was great! I spent the four days after Christmas rocking out in Asbury Park at the Bouncing Souls‘ annual Home for the Holidays shows! If you were not already aware, the Bouncing Souls are my favorite band and I am just a wee bit obsessed with them. I saw them 18 times in 2009, for example. I also drew a comic about them, and that comic is now distributed by their label. They are pretty great. Here’s a video from one of the shows to give you a taste of the wonder. These are two of my favorite songs, Argyle and Neurotic, back to back:
Also, I know you’re getting sick of me asking for money with this Freewheel: Volume One Fundraising Campout thing, but I will stop asking as soon as I have enough to pay for the printing! I promise. Cross my heart. So if you haven’t yet chosen a funding level, now would be a great time! I have until the end of February to collect the money to pay for the first printing of Freewheel: Volume One and as I type this we’re at $656 out of the necessary $2500! That means we have $1844 to go! I think we can make it happen! You and me, kid! We’re goin’ places!
Hey everybody! Guess what? Today’s page marks the END of Chapter One! Chapter Two begins on Thursday! Are you as stoked as I am? No? Well… that’s okay because I’ll be stoked for both of us!
You should also check out this quickie comic I did in about two hours last week called DJ Versus Unruly Mob.
The Freewheel: Volume One Fundraising Campout is still going strong and still needs your help! Check out the campout page to see how you can help and all the awesome things you can get by helping to fund the printing of Freewheel: Volume One!
So far, the book is about 30% funded as we are currently at $756 out of the necessary $2500.
