Hey everyone!

This Warm Ups Kickstarter has been a really fun experiment. We'd had success with doing a pre-order here on Gumroad for issue one, but I had a feeling Kickstarter would be a better option since it would allow for more tiers , incentives and ease of communication.

You folks really proved that theory right!

The Kickstarter is a huge success! I mean, it's not one of these insane 6-figure kind of "successes" but for me it's a huge deal because we picked up new readers! I wasn't sure our readership would grow from issue 1 to issue 2, but it did!

So, thank you!

I will be honest, we've met our goal and I'm not going to push for tons more orders. We have one more stretch goal we could hit, and I kinda think we might, but we've surpassed our goal so I'm thrilled with the result!

With that, I'd still love to grow the audience for this thing. I'm excited by the idea of having an zine art-series going, and the more "readers" we have the longer I can do this little art passion project.

So, if you haven't already maybe check out the Warm Ups #2 campaign. Or just pass the word on to any art-lovers in your life. Maybe we'll get that new 4" vinyl sticker add-on stretch goal!
