Minor Update - Bookmarks and things...
almost 4 years ago – Fri, Jun 26, 2020 at 02:27:22 AM

What's cookin' good lookin'?

It's been a minute since we spoke, so I'm just checking in to show you a couple neato thingz... first off - is the BOOKMARK! Since it occurred to me I never showed you, this is a look at the fabled bookmark - each and every one of you that ordered a physical copy of the book will get one for FREE!

to hold your place if you need a break from amazing-ness.

If you made it this far, you passed the test... so thank YOU for being an amazing backer and for following these updates (no matter how minor they may seem). The next thing I have to show you is kind of a major thing... so regarding the title of this update - PSYCHE!

I just received the first batch of books from the printer (3 of 18 boxes) - but this small batch will still service over 50% of you (the rest should come in the next day or so).

the book title is printed on a BOX!!!

Look at that sexiness... Okay, so where am I gonna put all of these Graphic Novels in my tiny apartment?

touch yourself... it's cool...

Next steps, I need to schedule a time for Team Diaverik to get over to my apartment (did I mention it's tiny?) and sign the bad-ass books and prints for those of you who requested such things. The signed copies will likely be the last ones out the door due to stay-at-home orders in LA (... for the record, I always wanted the signed stuff out first since those are the folks that invested the most in the project... please forgive me... I'll make it up to you, I swear).

For the rest of you amazing humans, fortunately, it's a long weekend next week - so I'll be spending that time packing boxes and getting ready to ship them out. So yes, I am confident everyone will have comics in their paws by the end of July (as promised and despite all odds... including a biblical scale plague).

I know I say this alot, but it will never be a enough, THANK YOU!!! Thank you so f*cking much... I am holding a book in my hands that I poured my goddamn soul into simply because you believed in me enough to put your hard earned dollars against it. It means everything to me...

If you're moving - please shoot me a note so I can either hold your package (phrasing) or send it to your new address. One way or another, you guy are the best and  thank you from the bottom of my little black heart.

Okay, I'm rambling (and drinking whisky in celebration)... thank you again. The next update will be a good one =)

Hugs & French-Kisses (COVID be damned)

Shipping Update and Magnets
almost 4 years ago – Wed, May 20, 2020 at 05:00:08 AM

Hi everyone,

This is another check-in to let you know how things are progressing.

The final extra goodie has arrived today - the NSFW Magnets! They look amazing... please forgive my awkward claw hands, I wanted to show it to you but still keep these posts PG-13.

Click Image to Order

These are only available through the NSFW Collection - click the image above to add to your order. There are only 50 being sold EVER... and frankly, they just look super neat.

SHIPPING UPDATE: The books are done!!! I received a note from the printer today that the books have finished production and will be shipping out at the end of the week! 

What does that mean to you? Probably another 4-6 weeks until I receive them and can begin shipping. So things are about on schedule, which is crazy all things considered.

Something to note, if you ordered something signed by Team Diaverik, there is a chance this will be delayed - it really depends on when the stay-at-home order in Los Angeles is lifted. But as soon as humanly possible, we will meet up and sign your stuff.

For those of you who ordered the digital goods - everything is ready to go. I will send those out about the same time that I begin shipping - I want everyone to enjoy this book together.

That's it for now. As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. We're getting really close!!!

Hugs & Kisses (dammit I miss hugs and kisses... ),

Your socially distanced pal, Mike.

Enamel Pins are here!
about 4 years ago – Mon, Apr 27, 2020 at 06:12:58 PM

Happy Monday kids!

This is a very short update to give you a first look at the final enamel pins... I LOVE them so much!!!

1.5 inch "DNA Lips" Enamel pin

The metal is actually silver in color - the photo shows up kind of gold.

If you would like to add one (or three) of these to your order - just follow THIS LINK and I'll have it added to your package.

This may be the last update for a few weeks while production of  the books continues. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Hugs & Bloody DNA Kisses

Pre-Production Proof
about 4 years ago – Sat, Apr 18, 2020 at 04:58:38 AM

Hey wondrous backers,

I hope that you are all staying safe and sane.

Despite all of the craziness in the world, some things are still progressing quite nicely... for example, the printer that is working on the Graphic Novel. Today I received the pre-production proof! Despite some very minor fine-tuning, the book is pretty much ready for a production.

YOU. DID. THIS.

Check out this sexy beast!

Sooner than later, I hope to have this in all of your hands for you to enjoy!

Meanwhile, please don't forget to fill out your surveys (I'm at 72% complete), and to check out the add-ons in the shop. And of course, share with anyone that you think would enjoy reading an extra twisted story with spectacular art.

Hugs & Kisses

Mike
