PROGRESS!

Hey folks! I've been working all month preparing NUCLEUS X. 

There are a lot of moving pieces for this project. But I've spent nearly all the time since the end of the campaign working on extending the new MARS story. This is entirely possible because of your spectacular support that added an entire additional volume to the NUCLEUS X set. Having the room to give you more means I was able to add several new scenes to this epic new story. 

But that also means I'm running a couple weeks later than I originally planned at this point in the schedule. So, I'm just saying that you will be getting more, and you will be getting it a few weeks later than anticipated. 

Meanwhile, everything else is looking good for NUCLEUS X. In the next few weeks, manufacturing will begin on the CD, prints, bookmarks, cards and more. Look for more updates as progress continues.

Thanks to all for your amazing support!

WE DID IT!

Together, we are bringing NUCLEUS X to life! Take a bow, you all deserve it! I deeply appreciate your support and sharing my journey.

MASTERING COMPLETE on THE MULTI-MUSICVERSE

MUSIC FROM THE MOUSE HOUSE

Rich Mouser, the master-mind responsible for shaping the soundscapes of notable acts such as Transatlantic, Dream Theater, Neal Morse, Weezer, Oleander, and Spock’s Beard, has delivered the final master for my 16 track debut CD album THE MULTI-MUSICVERSE. And it sounds amazing! Rich took my recordings and transformed them into sonic gems.  The Mouse Ears are legendary in the recording industry for quality, clarity and sonic impact. I am so honored to have Rich transform the final pass on my music. But you can hear for yourself. Here is the music video for THE WITCH OF EVERWHEN, from the album featuring re-mixes and mastering by Rich Mouser. 

This is one of my most ambitious music videos, since I animated several sections from hundreds of my paintings. I'm particularly happy with the flowing watercolor effect of the Witch!

THE END IS NEAR

Thanks to your wonderful support, NUCLEUS X has done very well and will be rewarding everyone with extras. If you are still on the fence, less than 2 days remain to be part of NUCLEUS. Meanwhile, we are heading toward lucky Stretch Goal #13! You can help unlock it by sharing the link: http://kck.st/45fkUR5

ONE DOZEN UNLOCKED STRETCH GOALS!

FRANKENSTEIN MOBSTER IS UNLOCKED!

Thanks to you sharing the Kickstarter link, we have unlocked Stretch Goal #12. Every backer at the physical reward level will be getting a complete Frankenstein Mobster story as part of the NUCLEUS X contents!

Our next Stretch Goal is a digital collection of covers I have drawn, painted and designed for the National Capital Panthans Journal. NUCLEUS X is all about my inner fan. I have long been a fan of the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs.  I was such a fan of Tarzan that I built and lived in a tree house when I was a kid. I've been an active fan in Burroughs fandom for decades. And I have created many covers for the Panthans Journal (the Journal is well over 300 issues at this point.) Unless you are a member, you have never had access to these rare issues. But now I am offering to give you a digital collection of many of my favorite covers. 

I deeply appreciate your support! Please keep sharing the link: http://kck.st/45fkUR5

WATCH ME BRING FRANKENSTEIN MOBSTER TO LIFE!

I painted a new Frankenstein Mobster piece in anticipation of including a complete Frankie story in NUCLEUS X. I could be wrong, but I think we are going to unlock that Stretch Goal. It all depends on you guys! 

Meanwhile, I recorded a "Speed Painting" video of the hours I spent painting Frankie. And I compressed it all down to minutes for your entertainment. The video is now available on the NUCLEUS X campaign page. Scroll down to the Stretch Goal entries and see it for yourself!

NEW ADD-ON - DIGITAL NUCLEUS X

Thanks to a special request, digital-only backers have the option to add-on a digital copy of NUCLEUS X to their rewards. This is a PDF and will include every page of the over 150 pages of the 3 volumes of NUCLEUS X (and none of the extras or stretch goals.) Don't say I don't try to please!
