Hi All,
My new book, Women in Focus, is live on BackerKit. It features all the models I worked with in my studio, before Covid closed it. It focuses on the nude female form without distraction.
Check it out here:
Women in Focus

Here are a few people who got my first book, Unveiling Beauty, who have not claimed their book. Please get in touch with me here so I can get it to you if you are in this situation.
Thanks,
Austin

Hi everyone,
I want you to know that last week I shipped all the print books.  If you paid for shipping via my website, your book is in the mail and should arrive soon.  Most of the international shipments left on Monday, so it will take a bit to arrive.
Here is where you can get your rewards from my website:

This message is for Backer Only.

Hey all,

Thank you again for your support of my first book published on BackerKit: Unveiling Beauty. I'm about 90% ready with your rewards, just a few minor edits to the book design and finishing the final touches of the BTS video.

I have run into one issue with processing the rewards, and that is how to charge for shipping. Normally, BackerKit handles that at the time of sending you a reward survey. Unfortunately, the credit card processor has denied our ability to charge cards because of "sexually explicit" content. I don't believe my content is sexually explicit, and they are in the wrong for viewing the naked human body through this lens. But despite appeals by me and BackerKit, the ability to charge through them has been denied.

So, what do we do? Currently, I plan to set up a website where you will be able to get your reward(s) for free and just pay for shipping as needed based on your location. I will know more in about a week and will let you know the next steps on how I'll be getting your rewards to you.

We are still on track, and I do believe you should receive your rewards in April as planned or even before.

Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter. Next time, this part of the process will be fixed.

Best,
Austin

Greetings All,
I'm absolutely thrilled and humbled by everyone's support and how we've more than doubled the campaign goal.  Thank you so much to everyone for making my first book on Backerkit a success.

I've made progress with the book and have 99% of the layout complete.  Next, I'll work on making the print options and curating the Behind the Scenes video.  It's been a blast to create the video and remember the fun times with each model as we created this art together. I'm excited for you to see the video of the photo shoots which will give you a glimpse into how the book was made.

Thanks again for supporting Unveiling Beauty. If you have the ability, please tell a friend about the campaign. I'd really appreciate the help spreading the word.

Best,
Austin

Hey all,
Excited about the campaign. I know it says my campaign is funded with over 10x the amount needed, but it looks like I've received a couple of large fake pledges.
I do need your real pledges still to make the modest goal of $1000. Please pledge with confidence. I'm excited to get the book and BTS video to you soon after the campaign closes.
Best,
Austin

Edit: Looks like the fake pledges have now been canceled.
