I wanted to get this out much earlier today to hype up The Hospice Kickstarter and try and get a few backers before it ends tonight. THERE IS STILL TIME: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/austinhamblin/hospice-the-collector It it is fully funded and Trey is hard at work drawing the book.

I got home late from Des Monies Con last night and was too spent this morning. AKA I feel back asleep. I had a great time! I helped with some panels and hosted one. I had some really cool conversations and saw old friends. It was great all around!

Honestly today’s newsletter won’t be a long one of me rambling on about life. I just want to tell you all how much I appreciate you all. Every comment, like, read, and purchase helps me with my dream. It’s not your dream, but you choose to help me and I will never forget that.

If somehow I become the biggest deal ever with insane popular success. I will never for get the people who supported me. I am only here because of the help and support I’ve received.

I love this shit so much. I’m sure people are tired of me talking about how much I love comics, but I do. It’s the love of my life (besides my cats). Have a good week everyone. Make time to do something you love soon. Don’t be a dick and be excellent everyone!

Oh I’ve also added some new event below!
