K-State art prints and posters have arrived!

It's great to finally see some finished product from the K-State book project!  We'll start sending these out to the Kickstarter backers immediately so they get to your doorstep in time to give for Christmas.  If you didn't pledge to the Kickstarter but still want to buy a print, send me an e-mail through greghardin.net and we'll get you set up!

The Kickstarter campaign was successfully funded on November 5, and reached 119% of its goal by the end of the fundraising period on November 9!

Now that the campaign is finished, next up is getting the posters and prints out by Christmas, and the books out by the Spring!  Thanks to those of you who pledged the campaign!

Rainy Day Books window display

When you have an opportunity to put your book cover in the display store window of Kansas City's most iconic bookstore,  you make it happen!  We had a 20 x 30" foam board poster made for Rainy Day Books and as of this morning it's in the window.

"When I Grow Up, I Want To Be a K-State Wildcat" Coming Soon

This morning we launched the official webpage for my new book, "When I Grow Up, I Want To Be a K-State Wildcat". Currently the site is being utilized as a "coming soon" promotional page to make people aware that the Kickstarter campaign to raise printing costs is almost at hand.

Also on the site are preview images some of the other rewards people will be able to choose, created from images in the book:

18 x 24" poster

 20 x 16" art print

and potentially a second 20 x 16" art print.

Next announcement will be for the launch of the Kickstarter campaign!

KU book with famous Jayhawks

Got these pictures at Big Slick KC this morning, I'm thankful to Jayhawks Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis for being kind enough to pose with me and my book--hopefully they'll enjoy the copies I gave them.  I also left a book at the event for Rob Riggle, I hope he got it!
