Original Art Roundup

Hi, Everybody!

It's a Steve Peters Week Miricle!

I got my rewards for backing Steve's last Kickstarter:

Them prints I paid for... and they're #13! O!M!G!

Are you excited Tay-tay?

"Yeah...sure...totally"

Did the valiums kick in?

"Yeah...sure...totally"

Anyway, Steve's pretty good for throwing in them extras. Like,

An Original Sparkybus drawing

And:

A couple of original panels from Tails of Sparky #4

And the original Art to the Cover of Tails of Sparky #4:

I mean, I PAID for it, so I SHOULD have gotten in...

I'm SURE Steve is hard at work on his NEXT Kickstarter as you read this...

MOVING ON!

Got the scans of the T8 covers Dave is sending gratis to:

Michael De Santis

And

James Banderas-Smith

Click for the biggers, obviously.

At least for the AKIMBO KS I'm planning to stick to 3 variant covers $25 US each (just to see if that affects sales), no MAIN cover (i.e. the MAIN cover is available in comic stores for $5 eventually).
