We’re less than $500 from unlocking this Stipan Morian mini-print for all physical backers, with 8 HOURS left in the campaign.

Everyone who gets a physical copy of the comic is already getting this Tony McMillen mini-print.

Pledge to Zack's Kickstarter so he can engage in more internet guy behavior!

i swore i never would -- the internet simply does not need another Guy talking to his camera at a desk -- but we are so close to 400 backers in this campaign that i'm going to have to leave it all out there, i'm sorry

ICYMI…Anna and I weren’t able to do a ton of press together because of time zones, but we did have a fantastic chat with Brad and Lisa about the book.

Give it a listen today and back the book before the campaign ends tonight at 10 pm!

Rearranged the gunpla a bit to fit the RG Sazabi and Nu Gundam as well. Gave me an excuse to change the poses and utilize the detachable funnels

The site is called 'Goodreads' yet it proves most reads AND readers are quite bad.

Gotta be honest, that Bruce Springsteen movie looks atrocious

This doesn't inspire confidence, as much as i like Josh Allen

Drake London and Bijan Robinson are obviously incredible but again feel the need to sound the alarm bells about the Bills defense. Their position in the AFC this season seems to be manufactured by beating bad teams so thoroughly we don't notice their glaring issues

Finally getting around to placing the waterslide decals. Can't say i like the G Work ones anywhere near as much as delpi but they still make the kit look way better.

Might need to fix some paint issues before the final matte coat

"Brimstone Biker" is such a cool nickname for Ghost Rider
