THE BOOK IS DONE…

…and many of them are being hand-delivered by none other than Bob Self and master magician RUDY COBY!!!

They arrived two nights ago near midnight and we launched into a marathon autographing session for the next 24 hours. I signed piles of books, losing count after the first thousand or so. Then everything was carefully packed into the van.

Bob and Rudy are currently zig-zagging across the country, stopping wherever possible to deliver the books to my many Kickstarter fans who have been waiting so patiently.

HUGE thanks to heroic efforts on the part of Bob Self, magician, master publisher and amazing art enthusiast, for making it all happen. And to Rudy for so agreeably lending a massively long—see his videos–hand and arm on this project!

Look for Bob’s Baby Tattooville display of the book and my painting A WORLD OF HER OWN at the San Diego Comic-Con coming soon!

Wotta birthday present for me! I’m all smiles.

On air,

Michael

Editor’s note: Michael’s birthday is tomorrow, June 29!
