Jason Pearson’s BODY BAGS: Artist's Edition

FUNDED!
almost 2 years ago – Thu, Oct 24, 2024 at 10:05:13 PM

THANK YOU! We are thrilled to have hit our funding goal so quickly, and really can't thank you enough. This is book is going to be an amazing tribute to Jason and it never happens without all of you wanting to make it happen.

Scott is currently working hard on the final pagination of the book, and we'll have more info on stretch goals once the page count is settled and we know exactly how many pages we need to add as we expand the book to include more material.

A quick note to all of the backers from the 2015 campaign; I'm about halfway through the emails from everyone that has reached out wanting to use their credit, and am just answering them in the order they have come in. I will admit that it's taking me a good bit more time to respond to everyone than I'd anticipated, but I made good progress today and will get back on it in the morning. 

I also want to thank everyone for all the kind words you've passed along in your emails and messages. I always knew Jason had some passionate and loyal fans, but I don't think I quite comprehended the depth of how much his art touched people from all over the world. It's been great to see.

Finally, please help us spread the word on social media. We want to add pages to the book and do certain upgrades (like potential spot-uv on the cover of the Artist's Edition) and other special items to enhance your experience, so the more backers the better. 

Speaking of pages, here's a few Scott shared when we were on the Near Mint Condition live stream Tuesday that I thought y'all might like to see. Thank you again for the amazing support!

First Day Wrap-Up (and a great Livestream with the Near Mint Condition team!)
almost 2 years ago – Tue, Oct 22, 2024 at 10:15:16 PM

Whew, what a day! I woke up early this morning to get the campaign launched and it has not slowed down (exhausted, but in a good way). If you are a "Jason's Legacy Tier" backer, my plan is to start answering your emails in the morning. It might take me a while to get back to everyone, but I'm on it.

As far as the campaign goes, as I type this, we are a hair over 70% funded, and I'd call that a successful Day 1. Thank you all for the trust and support. Scott and I still have some work to do to finalize the stretch goal rewards and the amounts for each tier, but we will have info for you in the next few days.

If you missed the live stream Tuesday afternoon/evening, here's a link to our chat with the Near Mint Condition crew:

Scott Dunbier + Keven Gardner on NEAR MINT CONDITION

We had a great time on the show and hope you can give it a watch/listen. We shared all kinds of info about the different books, why we're doing  this project, and you'll also get a better look at what you're backing. A big thanks to Dom and Josh for taking the time with us (and we're also sending out our love and condolences to Omar, the man behind Near Mint, who couldn't host as planned due to his father passing away).

Finally, if you haven't heard, HACK/SLASH = BODY BAGS #1 drops Wednesday (this was not by design, but funny how the stars ended up aligning for a big week for Body Bags fans). Please check it out if you hit your local comic shop this week; Tim Seeley and Stefano Caselli did not disappoint!

That's all for now. Thanks again!
