This is the final update on this 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 April, as promised. (not withstanding any Corona Virus enforced postal delays in your countries**) In fact, the vast majority of you have your books already.
9,000+ books have been shipped in more than 4,000 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 once again worked tirelessly to ensure every package was carefully boxed and shipped. Despite the Corona situation, these two superstars continually adapted and altered plans to ensure shipping continued every week until completion.
A second thank you to my friends at MIXAM, who printed every book so beautifully in record time.
And THANK YOU ALL for bringing this thing to life, without you it would not exist.
Your support gives us the freedom to continue this massive project, and to focus more than ever on SHARING SKILLS for FREE. The tutorials are going to continue every week on line, as Robin and I build a resource which is as MASSIVE as it is DIVERSE, and all free to access by everyone forever.
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 WRITE" 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 April for delivery. After then, please FIRST CHECK UP ON YOUR COUNTRY'S POSTAL SERVICES TO FIND OUT IF THEY ARE REPORTING DELAYS TO DELIVERIES DUE TO THE CORONA OUTBREAK. If they are experiencing delays, please give a little more time for delivery. If after then 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. If there are no corona delays in your country and you haven't had your package by the end of April, then just drop me a line right then.
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 48 hours :)
Thank you all for being a part of this thing!
Lorenzo!
