This is the final update on our
record-breaking campaign
- all the surveys were sent out months ago, and every single package
(if you've filled in your survey!*) has now been sent, meaning everyone
will have their books by the end of September, as promised. In fact, the
vast majority of you have them already.
14,000+ books have been shipped in more than
7,000 separate packages to over
60
different countries, a HUGE shout out to Dave and Andy, two of the
hardest working, most dependable and capable people I've worked with in
my entire career, who worked tirelessly to ensure every package was
carefully boxed and shipped.
And
THANK YOU ALL for bringing this thing to life, without you it would not exist.
Your support gives me the freedom to continue this massive project, and to focus more than ever on
SHARING SKILLS for
FREE. I feel so strongly that the proliferation of
paid subscription services and
paywalls are beginning to shut off much of the best art education on the internet, and I'm determined to
FIGHT BACK
against that, on behalf of everyone that feels as I do that sharing
skills for free is the greatest gift we can give to one another. The
tutorials are going to continue
every week on line, as Robin and I build a resource so
MASSIVE and so
DIVERSE, that you will
NEVER have to
PAY to learn to
DRAW or
WRITE online ever again.
Paywalls
DOWN, skills
UP!
And then a
HUGE thank-you to those of you who are taking the time to post up about the books on
twitter and
instagram, or write reviews of the books on your
blogs etc.
It's incredible to literally see these books in the hands of so many
different people from around the world - I chose not to post up images
of the books myself, but instead to retweet the pictures and videos
YOU posted
flicking through the books, so I hope you guys benefited from that by gaining some extra followers too ;)
*For the few of you who have not filled in your survey yet because
the survey email (and subsequent reminder email) got sent to your email
spam folder -
DON'T WORRY! Just
log into your kickstarter account, click your little avatar, go to
"backed projects", then click the
"How to THINK when you draw" thumbnail - your survey is waiting there for you.
If you think your package should have arrived, but it hasn't yet, please wait until the
end of September for delivery. After then, if your package hasn't turned up, drop me
a message through Kickstarter or email me at
misterlorenzoboy@yahoo.co.uk and I'll get it sorted.
This is the final update on this campaign, BUT, if you want more
FREE tutorials and art
EVERY DAY, just follow along with us on
TWITTER, INSTAGRAM or our
BLOG, for an endless stream of new stuff :)
Any questions, just let me know, I respond to all messages on all platforms within 24 hours :)
Thank you all for being a part of this thing!
Lorenzo!
P.S. Awesome to have sent my tutorials books to so many backers in places like this...
