New Painiacs!
How's everyone doing out there? You all good? Hope so!
If you've been keeping an eye on the calendar, you may have noticed that time has been flying while we're having fun and week two of this campaign kicks off tomorrow. We're a bit over 70% funded (which is good!) but also tracking a bit behind our projected goal at this stage of the game (not as good!). We threw some dollars at Facebook and Instagram to widen the range of our social media posts; if you're a new backer that joined the campaign because you saw one of those ads, let us know in the comments. Curious how effective that strategy may be.
And of course, if you guys see one of our posts, sharing it out is always helpful. As you've no doubt noticed by this point, we're a gang of idiots so we appreciate any help we can get!
There will be a few new items added to the campaign tomorrow and we wanted to give you guys first dibs before they're available to the general public. First up, (and this is super-narcissistic of me), will be five "virgin" copies of NPC JUMP #1 with my variant cover art, sans Rich Stahnke's beautiful colors. These will come signed and remarqued, similar to the remarque tier for #2 that's on the page, except CHEAPER. They're $50 today and will be officially listed tomorrow for $60.
If we're lucky enough to get all four issues of NPC JUMP produced (fingers crossed!), there will eventually be a set of four BW virgin covers with my doodles on them. If you're into that kind of thing, collect 'em all!
We'll also be adding the great and powerful PAUL PELLETIER'S art for his two Handbook entries to the campaign page. Take a look at what our pal Paul drew:
I don't know if it's harder to believe that Paul drew these three years ago or it's taken us three years to get the Handbook ready but either way, here we are. Imagine how dangerous we'd be if we were efficient, huh? These are available today for $150 each and they'll be $200 on the page tomorrow.
How do you claim any of this stuff, you may ask? Just add the appropriate amount of additional support to your existing pledge and leave a comment. Our crack squad of henchmen will do the rest of the job. Obviously, there's only one each of the Pelletier pieces so please check the comments and make sure no one claimed either one first.
Also, speaking of inefficient, New Pain FINALLY launched a storefront last week, newpainpro.bigcartel.com. More stuff is being added all the time; if you've missed any of our books to date or just like shopping for cool exclusive items, check it out! In the past week, we've had SIX unique visitors so like everything NP does, INSTANT VIRAL SUCCESS!!!
Have a great week, guys. Back with more news soon.
Your bestie,
Keith Champagne
