Hardcover Proof Is In – And It Looks Awesome!

Jun 26, 2025 4:01 pm


Hey friends,

Big update — the hardcover mockup just arrived from the printer and it looks absolutely stunning! The pages are smooth and thick, the cover feels premium, and aside from a few small design tweaks, it’s nearly ready to roll.

Here’s a sneak peek:

🏔️ Denver Fan Expo – July 3–6

I’ll have the hardcover mockup on display at my booth during Denver Fan Expo next week — and I’ll be pushing the Kickstarter hard.

⚠️ There’s a very real chance all 100 signed hardcovers and 100 signed softcovers will be claimed by the end of the weekend.

So if you’re thinking about backing the book — don’t wait. Lower numbers get snapped up fast, and collectors know: early numbers are cooler, rarer, and more valuable.

✍️ Still Booking Tattoos + Commissions

Want your favorite character, pet, or portrait turned into ultra-detailed realism?

I’m booking both tattoos and pencil commissions now — all done from my private studio in Fairfield, OH.

💙 Help Fund a Cure for Huntington’s

A portion of every sale — book, print, tattoo, commission — goes directly to Huntington’s Disease research. Dana and I are incredibly grateful for your support as we navigate her diagnosis and the road ahead.

Let’s see how far we can grow this campaign and how many lives we can impact along the way.

Thank you again — see you in Denver!

– Kevin
