JINKY'S UPDATE #41
Hey, everyone --
Tomorrow night it ends!
Only a day-and-a-half left to order my artbook/adult coloring book BEAUTIFUL DREAMERS from my Kickstarter! Have you gotten yours yet? The recently-added Reward Levels are offering some pretty cool goodies.
I especially want to remind everyone that I don't do private commissions anymore EXCEPT as Kickstarter Reward Levels! So you still have your chance to have me create a custom drawing for you, which will include print rights. That means if you're a publisher, you can get me to do covers for you through this Kickstarter, too! :)
A few reminders of my art --
A cover that I created to showcase THE ARCHIES!
Psylocke vs. Donald! (Because this Pandemic has us all a bit stir-crazy!)
I can draw your characters!
I can even create a new character for your store or convention mascot!
Before time runs out tomorrow, please order yours on my Kickstarter right now --
And remember: My books are ready to go, so I'll ship them in June!
Hugs,
-- Jinky
C'mon, assign me some art! Give me a workout!
BEAUTIFUL DREAMERS: IT'S MY NEW KICKSTARTER!

JINKY'S UPDATE #40
Hello, everyone! --
Now that my BANZAI GIRL Volume 2 Kickstarter is all fulfilled, today I'm launching my new Kickstarter: BEAUTIFUL DREAMERS, a sexy coloring book for grown-ups!
I think BEAUTIFUL DREAMERS will be the perfect thing to keep us occupied while we're quarantining. Sexy girls, a chance to color and be creative and relax -- I think it's a lovely, winning combination.
BEAUTUFUL DREAMERS is in the same fancy, upscale 10" x 10" squarebound format you find in the deluxe, best-selling adult coloring books you find in Barnes & Noble, complete with the golden logo and perforated pages for easy removal of your colorful masterpieces!
The artwork inside looks like this --
-- and each piece of art is accompanied by a quotation about the essence of beauty from a famous author -- Deepak Chopra, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Barack Obama, Malcolm X, Isaac Asimov, Stephen King, Carl Sagan, and so many others.
Best of all, I learned a LOT from the production and printing delays of my previous Kickstarter. I never want my projects delayed again, so this time I finished this book, completed the design and prepress, sent it to the printer, and it is printed already!! All I need to do is pay them with Kickstarter funds -- which means I can ship these books right away, in JUNE!!
Here they are!
Please support BEAUTIFUL DREAMERS today! Here's the direct link to my Kickstarter! --
SHIPPING IS COMPLETE!

JINKY'S UPDATE #39
Hello, everyone! --
I hope everyone is practicing smart social distancing and is otherwise safe from the coronavirus. And no, for the smarties out there, it is NOT the Coronado virus. :/
My news is good: With the exception of four folks who can't seem to give me their shipping addresses, I HAVE, AS OF TODAY, SHIPPED ALL OF THE KICKSTARTER PACKAGES!! That's domestic and international.
Also, I have fulfilled all the digital download orders.
So if you are missing any digital download file, tell me!
And if you haven't received your packages by March 31, tell me! (Domestic packages shipped via Media Mail.)
It's been a year since I launched this Kickstarter. I learned quite a few things about printing internationally as well as fulfillment times and how long Kickstarter takes to release the money. So these experiences will greatly change my next Kickstarter.
What's coming next? You'll see soon -- and the fulfillment time will be lightning quick compared to this one. But first, we need the world to get back to normal a little bit.
As for me? Time to hibernate!
Hugs and naps,
-- Jinky
THEY'RE HERE -- AND SHIPPING!!

JINKY'S UPDATE #38
Merry Christmas, Everyone! --
And HAPPY HOLIDAYS of all sorts to those who celebrate something else!
The books shipment from China arrived in my hands from port a couple of days early! Here they are! --
Both palettes of books arrived safely!
That means I started preparing orders and shipping a couple of days earlier than planned. This was my first pile to go out --
And the second pile was most of a trunk load!
So I'll be continuing this process all through the next few weeks, getting out a pile of packages pretty much every weekday until everything is completed.
As I go through each order, I'm trying to compare those Kickstarter and BackerKit orders against any emails or posted messages I've gotten, to make sure I have the most current addresses and order updates.
I am also trying to recheck any digital orders, replacing the glitched .pdfs a number of you received. Instead of sending a mass emailing for those replacements, I'm emailing each one separately, as I fulfill and mark each order as fulfilled.
If you receive your print order but the digital download you ordered still hasn't shown up in your email, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. But first: Please be sure you ordered a digital download! I've received a number of emails and message from folks concerned they didn't receive their .pdf -- and it turns out they didn't order one! :)
I'll be spending Christmas day with my family, of course, but the next day I'll be back to filling Kickstarter orders.
Meantime, have a great Holiday!
Yes, that's me!
And that's me drawing me!
And that's me drawing me in the same outfit I'm wearing in the photo!
