Hi everyone,

I wanted to share an important update on the production schedule for Sy Barry: The Ghost Who Draws.

As we’ve gotten further into the project and reviewed the full production process with our publisher, we’ve realized that our original February 2027 estimate was too optimistic.

The manuscript is still being completed, and once that work is finished, there are several important stages ahead, including finalizing artwork and licensing, book design, proofing, printing, international freight and fulfillment. Based on the current production schedule, we now expect the book to be in backers’ hands in September 2027.

While this is later than we originally anticipated, our priority is to give the team the time needed to create the book we envisioned and to do justice to my Dad’s life, his artwork and his remarkable career.

I especially want to thank those of you who have already backed the project. Your early support means a great deal to me and my Dad, and to everyone working to bring this book to life.

We’ll continue to share updates as the book moves through each stage of production, and I look forward to showing you more of what we’re creating along the way.

Thank you again for believing in this project and for helping us make it possible.

David Barry
