Hello all, I hope this message finds you well!

So I just wanted to throw out there that I am waiting on the last little bit to come in the mail before I am able to actually ship out the orders. I have a lot of it boxed and ready, I'm literally waiting on the stickers to come in.

A little funny story, I tried and tried to get the stickers to work on my own but I am apparently a cavemen and I have the wrong kind of gear to do it correctly. So I had to bite the bullet and order the stickers online. However, this is literally all I'm waiting on.

Quick little aside- the PDF's have already been sent out of Part 1 (chapters 1-5) of Am I Human. Please let me know if you have not received them!

So what am I currently working on? I'll tell ya!

Currently, I am in the throw of drawing chapter 7 of Am I Human and am planning on having it ready to go for Printopia 2026 at the very least, but hopefully sooner than that. I am almost done writing Chapter 10, and am thinking about having part 2 be a little longer than 5 chapters. I don't feel like anyone will have an issue with that lol.

I am also working on getting a website set up so that I can sell my books directly, it's kind of slow go as of right now because I do have a lot going on plus I work full time PLUS I am a husband/ father. I'm trying to make sure they know I exist.

In case you didn't know, I have a YouTube channel that I upload studio vlogs to & livestream once a week to both YouTube & Twitch! You can find me via Gridlock Studios on both, look for my ugly mug.

Alright, I think that's it!

Hello all, I hope this message finds you before you kill me lol

It has been brought to my attention that I'm a raging idiot and that I set up the shipping wrong lol

So disregard that "charging shipping" notification. I'm going to get on the horn with Backerkit and get that fixed!

Hello all, I hope this message finds you well!

I have received the books in the mail & I am moving on in the shipping process. I'm assuming I can have everything shipped out by the end of next week!

As far as the PDF's go, backerkit has me kinda locked behind processes before I can send them out. However, once I'm free to do so those digital pages are so freaking ready to be slidden...slode...slided...??...delivered into your inbox's!

Just wanted to throw a lil update your way, BUT if you want to see them...I did an unboxing video on my youtube! Link included - https://youtu.be/jIt2vdpKxss?si=WIB8qFyycB1ZL4OM

Until next time!

Hello all, I hope this message finds you well!

I'm at the whim of Backerkit, (at least a little bit) on how much I can do. The surveys have been sent out, make sure you fill those out so you can get your rewards! I can't send out the PDF's at least until people finish that out (steps & whatnot)

That being said, I'm going to order the physical books today & leave it in the printer's hands! And then we play the best game ever of all time...the waiting game. 

So make sure you get those survey's filled out and we can move this process right on along!

Hello all, I hope this message finds you well!

As it turns out, I girlbossed a little close to the sun & finished the art portion of the graphic novel!! WOOOO!!! Scream, party, good times were had by all.

So...what now?

Currently I am grinding my way into getting the layout & lettering done, with which I aim to have done by THIS WEEKEND. Then I'll be getting the PDF's sent to all you lovely backers AND sent off to the printer to get brewed together into a beautiful book for your hands & eyes to feast upon.

With this being part 1 of the series, the first five chapters, what is my plan for the next part? Currently I have been writing it & am working on the writing of chapter 8. Whew...has my process changed already! My aim is to have the next part ready to be crowdfunded for printopia 2026. IF not, it will be very close to being done and the wait won't be as long. 

So I didn't write a character showcase for this week because of my excitement of getting done & locking in for the lettering and layout stage. Would you rather have a showcase...or the book? I know I would choose the book.

Until next time!
