Finally back at my desk after a couple of weeks out of the office. Alas, not for a vacation but for a big house move! This means I am as tired as can be and we’ve only got my much-too-short-post-coffee window to get this done!
Pick up Love Everlasting #2 next Wednesday!
These are our three covers for this issue. Plenty of art to choose from :) Alison Sampson’s virgin playing card cover and Terry Dodson’s homage to Leyendecker, and my more classic romance illustration.
A quick reminder that pre-orders for #3 are only open for another couple of weeks until Sept 19.
New Love Everlasting arc on September 28!
Joan is back and with a vengeance. If you’ve read #5, you know that our Joanie is much more aware of her…predicament and this new arc takes her down a different path.
It starts off as you’d expect from a Love Everlasting issue, with another poor sap…
…and then BOOM, Tom manages to make Joan’s situation even worse. The scripts are incredibly compelling and I try to do them justice as best I can. Matt is also rocking in on colors and Clayton has the opportunity for super fun lettering in #6.
Also, how about Joan rocking that cute pixie?!!
Keep an eye out for Stjepan Sejic’s variant cover reveal and process
We’ll publish the latest installment of our Behind The Love: Cover Series on Sept 14. I’m hoping to get some quick words from Stjepan about his stunning variant cover art for issue 3 but he might not be able to get it to me in time. If not, I think I might just improvise and try to understand his process. Fingers crossed on also having him for an Instagram live later next week!
Mini-Print Club Redo
I prefer to be on top of things for my Mini-Print Club and show the new one before each month is up but I mean…see above re: the move. Well, to be fair, I DID do one. I like it, but I don’t love it. So folks, imma start over. That’s just how I doooo. Oh god, I can already feel the caffeine leaving me.
Anyway, you’ll get a look RIGHT before the end of the month, which will only leave you like a day to snatch it. Be ready!
I’m back on Kickstarter with a major project
that will launch in less than 4 weeks. I don’t want to give out too many details here, but when I say major, I’m not saying this lightly. It’s a game-changer. I’m convinced there will be a before and after this campaign. Not so much in the sense of the success of it, although of course I hope we hit record-level pledges, but in sense of the type of thing that it is.
It’s a big thing to build and I’m excited to be doing this with another two extremely talented creators.
More on that in 2 or 3 weeks. I am dying with impatience.
That’s basically it for this month from me! I might do a new studio tour at some point too when our office has been painted and shelved up. Tom is sure to treat you all with his perfect scripts and podcasts and that’s always a delight.
Hope you’re all well rested from your summer and ready for Fall!
Much love,
Elsa
Great news! I'm excited to see what the new Kickstarter will bring.
Good luck with new house. That has to be so exciting to be in a new space.
More coffee, STAT!
