Mustache Men art toys live!
over 5 years ago – Thu, Nov 01, 2018 at 12:36:09 PM

Hey Mobsters

Just wanted to reach out and let you know about a new campaign I'm running with my brother John.

My brother John is also an artist, and he and I have always wanted to create some sweet art toys. So when John came told me about an idea he had to draw up some Mustache figs a few years back, I thought... why don't we combine that with a good cause! Let's not only make the figures, but let's donate a portion of the proceeds to the Movember foundation!!! Thus born, the Mustache Men!  

So here we are, launching these bad mofos right into your face, and raising money for a great cause all at once, Booya!!

We have some crazy color varients available too, so check em out, spread the word and let's get these little suckers made!

Have a great day!

Shipping books this week!
almost 6 years ago – Sun, May 27, 2018 at 08:12:10 PM

Hi everyone

Sorry for the epic delay. Printing was really delayed and the first batch had to be reprinted.

But I’m happy to say they have arrived and I’m going to be shipping out physical rewards all week.

If anyone has moved, please message me with your updated address ASAP so I can get your books out.

Thanks for all your patience during this process

Printing update/ Indie spotlight
about 6 years ago – Sun, Feb 25, 2018 at 12:31:12 PM

Hey Mobsters 

I spoke with the printer this week and they will be expediting the books to me this coming week. I will let you know as soon as I finally get them and I will package and ship them to you 24 hours a day until they are all out! As I said before, I will include stickers for every physical order, and I am sorry for the delay, it was truly out of my hands.

Couple other things...

I have a Stinky Joe Elbo shirt up for sale on TeeBlaster right now if anyone is interested.

and here is a long overdue indie spotlight for those of you looking to grab some more radical indie creations.

Check out Ashley West's eye grabbing book Velthaneus Issue 1. I've been a fan of Ashley's art for a while now and I've been anxiously awaiting her release of this amazing piece of work. It's really cool and super unique, and you should do yourself a favor and grab a copy before it's too late! Only a week left now, don't miss it!!

My buddy, and fellow Wisconsin native, Joe Spicer has a massive volume of his book Crazy 9. This Sci-Fi crime volume is packed with talent!! Harnessing the power of great writing and a collection of amazing artists, you gotta check it out!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/831348082/crazy-9-graphic-novel-anthology?ref=discovery&term=crazy%209

Well that's all I got for now, I will let you know as soon as the books are in my hand and I will ship them immediately.

Have a great day

Mike Bloom
