I premiered the book at October's New York Comic Con, selling almost 70 copies to men, women, and children of all ages. It was a hit!

One happy customer recently wrote to me...
"Dear David, I recently gave your book to my grandson for his birthday. He also got a dog at the same time. He carries around the book, quoting facts about the robots inside, more than he plays with the dog! We can't believe how much he loves your book!!! (Leslie)"

Another customer said on facebook...
"Just received my Mecha Zone book pack. My kids went ape. Good thing I got Mecha Zone 1.5 *and* 2 (Eric)"



Here is my table from the NY Comic Con and Anime fest 2011

Only 4 days left to help with my book!!!

Hi! I am excited that my Mecha Zone 1.5 "Robots Remastered" book fundraising event will be ending this Friday. THANK YOU to the 49 friends and fans so far who have pledged to help.

Here's the project web page... http://kck.st/k6uYAE

You only have 4 days left if you are considering making a donation. It's easy to do and don't forget that you can choose from a list of rewards so you get something in return. Just $25 gets you a copy of the book and a limited edition print.

Why did I do this? My original plan was to make a 64 page book, with only 16 pages in color and the rest in black and white. The additional funding from this project has allowed me to make the whole book color and ADD 32 MORE PAGES! That's 96 pages of full-color mecha cool-ness :D

I have set a new goal of $5000, which would cover more of the printing costs. I lose some of the money because Kickstarter takes a percentage, and I have to pay taxes on it too, and it costs a lot of money to package and mail all the rewards. :( I only need $788 dollars more to meet this goal. WOW! I really am blessed to have such great friends around the world. I owe it to everyone who helped spread the word.

Please continue to forward the project link and spread the word. I appreciate everyone's help!

Please help fund my next book!

Hello friends everywhere! I need your help to bring my new book, "Robots Remastered", to life!

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

1) DONATE
2) Spread the word!

I am asking for donations to help cover printing costs. I hate to ask for money but I really want to make this project happen and I only need $3,000.00 to finish funding the book. That's about half of the total cost. If I can get 120 people to donate $25 then that would do it!

PLEASE visit the fundraising page for all the details and a video of me explaining the project...

Mecha Zone project at Kickstarter.com



Every dollar helps! Kickstarter.com securely accepts donations starting at $1. There are rewards for donations depending on the amount. A donation of $25 or more gets you a signed copy of the final book and a limited edition print. The more you donate, the more you get.

The fundraiser, hosted by Kickstarter.com, lasts for 30 days and is ALL OR NOTHING. You don't get any of the pledged money unless you completely meet your goal. So $2999.00 = $0.00 :( Be sure to help me meet the goal by spreading the word about this project and encouraging people to donate. I'm sure there are a lot of robot enthusiasts out there who would love a copy of this book!

I appreciate all of your help and consideration! Even if you can't make a donation, be sure to forward this event to everyone you know. You never can tell who might want a book loaded with awesome robots for their kids or themselves :)

Cheers!

Come meet me this weekend in Northampton, MA!

In case you haven't heard, there is a new artist convention in Northampton, MA this Saturday. It's called the Paint and Pixel Festival. There will be a bunch of extremely talented childrens book illustrators, comic artists, and even some animators! I'll be there too :D

The show is from 10-5, downtown Northampton and admission is only $4 for adults and $2 for kids 6-12. There will be some events and the artists will be selling their goods. Here's the web page so you can check out the guests and details.

My dear friend Peggy came up with the idea and has organized everything. We could really use some press so please, PLEASE pass this around to everyone!!! It would be great if the show did well so we could justify holding it again next year.

Thanks and I'll see you Saturday :)

BigBadToyStore.com is selling my book!

www.bigbadtoystore.com

Big Bad Toy Store is a major player in the online toy sales market and they have agreed to sell my art book, Mecha Zone 2. Right now they have it available for "pre-order" so they can get a good idea of how many to buy from me. Unfortunately it never made it to their front page as a featured pre-order but hopefully they will still sell at least a few.

They have it for a discounted price of $22.99. Please check out the link. Maybe you'll find something you like? Maybe you'll order my book? That would be awesome!
