Puss & Books Launch: the plan is to begin on Wed., Oct. 21 and run until Fri., Nov. 6.
This is slightly earlier than I originally planned, since my professional product-design work gets more frantic around Halloween (and the following holidays).

I've been sketching out my pin designs—happy with some, not as much with others. (That's just my normal creative process.) The starting lineup will be 4 pins, with a stretch-goal 5th pin in development.
I'm also tackling the backer-card artwork, which I admit is getting overwhelmingly detailed—but I'm liking the results. I hope to show this (or at least a preview) sometime this week.

I'm aiming to update a minimum of once every week on Wednesdays leading up to the launch.
But please don't hold me to that; my normal workload is hard to navigate week to week, with changing deadlines, design revisions, and surprise client demands. If I can't make an update on Wednesday, it will go up ASAP once the dust has settled.

I'll also post a poll soon so all followers can weigh in on a grouped decision about a certain detail for one of the pin designs.

For those 'meeting' me for the first time:
I'm a time-tested Creative Director/Product Designer/Illustrator/Kids' Book Author with decades of experience, having designed hundreds and hundreds of toys, costumes, pet toys, decor and novelty items for major retail stores. (Walmart, Target, PetSmart, Walgreens, Dollar General, just to name a few.) Mix in a  thoroughly newb-ish  understanding of everything BackerKit, but I'm learning.
 
Please feel free to discuss the project, ask questions, offer suggestions, and point out any of my errors (which I'll probably do on purpose, you know . . . just to make sure you are all paying attention).

Since we're no longer strangers here, feel free to call me Arrrggghhh. Most people misspell that nickname.
 -- OR -- You can just call me Jim. Most people spell that name correctly. (Most…)

PS: Followers will get to see some of the work in progress!
