Hellooooo everyone. The posters are due to arrive at lovely ArtisticWhispers Studios on or about June 15, at which point we will start signing and numbering and sending them out. At that time, they will be available for immediate purchase here and at other fun places around the web.
Those of you who pre-ordered, thank you very much for your patience at this, our first foray into ransom publishing. You don’t have much longer to wait.
Very excited!
