BEHIND THE SCENES

HOT & MESSY TIME LAPSE

Happy weekday folks!

From time to time, we get questions from fans (online or at conventions) asking the team, how do you create and draw the pieces we see in comics, used online, seen on TV and more!  While there is no secret sauce, it does take a lot of work and dedication to do all this work, there is always room to share and learn.  We have been having our own AMANDA CONNER start recording some of the pieces and work she has been doing on her projects, when possible, while she is working digital to help show you the fans, just how much fun and hard work that goes into the results you see.

With that being said, we have an awesome behind the scenes look at the work AMANDA did to create the final artwork and graphic for her latest artbook:  HOT & MESSY:  THE ART OF AMANDA CONNER.  Surely you got the book right?  I mean, you didn't miss out on that did you?  :)  Don't worry, if you did, we will have some extra copies available soon on our website (albeit without many of the Kickstarter extras, however you sill will have options).  Keep an eye out.

Meanwhile, we wanted to share this time lapse video of AMANDA creating the title page and some sample images of what the sketched versions might look like.  We hope you enjoy it!  Head on over to this newsletter exclusive look at her work!

CONVENTION FUN

As mentioned above, we do lots of shows and get to meet fans and friends along the way.  That is the best part about attending shows is getting to meet with those individuals that not only back our comics, however they also take the ride with us on many of our projects, like this one here at Zestworld!  So when we attend conventions, we love engaging and talking with fans.  We wish we had the energy to do sketching and drawings for people however it often doesn't work out that way.  While we know that can be disappointing to some, we would really rather spend the time talking to all other fans and supporters of the team!  We like to get to know our fans, what they do for a living, what makes them happy, posing for silly pictures with them, all just makes our hearts warm.  So if you are in an area where we are attending a show, we hope to see you there and please mention you're a backer of this newsletter so we can give you an extra nod of the hat for your support.  Check out some silly and fun times we had at the last couple of shows!

2023 ONWARD

While we are finalizing more shows for the 2023 year, we also are lining up several projects that we will be working on for the team.  This is anything from new Kickstarters, new comics, some new exclusive items and more.  We're thrilled to share these with you as soon as we can and know our loyal backers, we're listening to you.  We love hearing your comments and seeing the things you like posted on all our social accounts.  We have some exciting things we think you'll love so stay tuned.  So much more is yet to come from AMANDA and JIMMY!

Truly appreciate all of your support!
