PROGRAMMED: a Complete Graphic Novel

FINAL 47 HOURS!
about 4 years ago – Wed, Feb 19, 2020 at 09:11:54 PM

We are at 80% funded with 47 hours to go.

I can honestly say  I've never been so nervous in my life... I spent many years and many more thousands of dollars making this book... I spent several MONTHS planning the campaign and the last 4 weeks executing on it. 

And here we are... 47 hours and 20% to go.

This is the time for you to SHARE SHARE SHARE. We are so close - honestly, it'd be embarrassing to fall short now. If you ever felt enticed to upgrade your current backer level and pick up an enamel pin or the Kickstarter exclusive NSFW prints, now would be a great time for it.

You all are the absolute best... I mean it, honestly... while I am physically and emotionally exhausted - I've also seen friends and total strangers sharing and rallying for this book to happen. It's insanely touching - I am such a lucky guy to have this killer support group.

That said, I dropped the bookmark stretch goal down to $8500. It's not much, but I really want to say thank you (and make a bookmark). Pretty sure we can do $2000 in the last 2 days... we did $3000 on the first =)

Hugs, Kisses & My Eternal Gratitude

4 Days to Go!!!
about 4 years ago – Mon, Feb 17, 2020 at 11:26:35 AM

This is gonna be TIGHT - be we can do it!!!

First off, I want to thank all of the backers for being here on this journey - it means the world to me. We are so close, yet far enough from the goal to ensure I'm not getting sleep for the rest of the week.

The campaign ends at 7pm PST on Friday the 21st.

Between, then and now, please share often and blab about this graphic novel to your friends and family - because this book is honestly something very special. I have not mentioned or posted on the coolest parts, simply because I don't want it spoiled for you... but it gets REALLY intense.

Please don't cancel your pledge - especially at this stage of the campaign. Every single backer counts. Whenever I see someone cancel their pledge, oh boy that hurts bad. The remaining days of this book are looking to be a photo finish... so please do what you can to help us reach our goal.

Finally, Kickstarter is a fantastic place to check out amazing and different projects that major comic book publishers don't believe are commercial enough to print - this is where you find the real art. So regardless of the outcome of this campaign, I encourage you to come back often and see what other creators are making.

Hugs & Kisses

New Tier - The NSFW Collection
about 4 years ago – Tue, Feb 11, 2020 at 10:02:59 PM

Hello delicious backers!

By request/demand, there is a new reward tier: The NSFW Collection.

This features incredible (and extra spicy) art with both of our leading ladies, Gen and Reah. This collection contains both Lithograph prints and Magnets. All of the prints are signed by artist Andy Baquerizo and the magnets are extra clingy! 

The collection is EXCLUSIVE to Kickstarter and is capped at only 50 units!

Since you all are the best backers ever, I am announcing this new tier to you first! It's super-duper easy to adjust your pledge to ensure you are getting this amazing collection (let me know if you need help). It's only $69... because, of course it is.

You basically have a 12 hour start before I announce it to the stragglers - so snatch it up before it's gone!

Better quality images below...

Thanks again for all of your support!!!

Either way, enjoy! Above all - Please share!!!

(PS: Sorry for calling you all "bakers" last update... embarrassing typo that Kickstarter does not let you fix).

Cheers!

Halfway Point!
about 4 years ago – Fri, Feb 07, 2020 at 04:36:34 PM

Hello amazing bakers!

This morning (Feb 7th) marks the halfway point of the campaign and the project is currently 64% funded. It's going to be tight, but we are tracking to hit the goal (knock on wood). So thank you for continuing to share and blab about this project to anyone who will listen - you're the rock stars! 

That said, I have a couple things to update you on that will help you and the campaign.

Fulfillment - Yep, it's never too early to think about how I'm getting you all your goodies. I've partnered up with BackerKit to ensure fulfillment is a breeze. They will make sure everyone gets everything in a timely manner and will even double-check your shipping address in case you move sometime between now and when the books go out. I am VERY happy to have them aboard!

New Reward Tier - I've gotten a few messages requesting an NSFW tier... well, because naked people are fun to look at. Just know that I have not ignored this, I am working with Team Diaverik to come up with a few cool items that would be exclusive to this tier (as I know of few of you would NOT appreciate opening a box of nude prints with the kiddies around). I hope to have this reward listed in the next few days and will send out a quick update when I do.

Behind the Scenes - Did you ever wonder how I landed on the main image for this campaign? Below is a high-level behind the scenes peak into the mind of an indecisive creator. To see more content like this, feel free to follow me on Instagram or Twitter (@mikeoholic).

Thanks again for your support and have a great weekend!

Hugs & Kisses
