Launching now: The BANZAI GIRL ADULT COLORING BOOK Kickstarter!
about 2 months ago – Tue, Oct 17, 2023 at 10:02:47 PM

Hey, all! --

When we started launching Kickstarters a number of years ago, we began building a line of projects slowly but surely.

For Jinky Coronado, we produced BANZAI GIRL Volume 1 "By Dreams Betrayed" as both hardcover and softcover and followed it up with BANZAI GIRL Volume 2, "Fifty Shades of Prey," also in hardcover and softcover.  Then came the BANZAI GIRL SPECTACULAR, a comic book with seven amazing variant editions with superstar cover artists.  A lovely BANZAI GIRL superstar artist portfolio got sandwiched in there.  There was even a BANZAI GIRLS FABULOUS FOTO BOOK with Jinky and her sister Michelle cosplaying as their characters from the comic.  Fun stuff!

For my EXPOSURE project with artist Al Rio and later with Jinky Coronado, we Kickstarted EXPOSURE Volume 1 "The ParaTech Revelation" in softcover and hardcover, followed by Volume 2 "Blind Faith" in the same formats. Then we followed with the EXPOSURE: TOP SECRET boxed set including the new TOP SECRET comic book.

For Marvel/DC/AWA superstar artist Mike Deodato, we launched THE MIKE DEODATO, JR. SKETCHBOOK in softcover and in a deluxe hardcover with bonus pages; plus THE CARTOON ART OF MIKE DEODATO, JR., also in hardcover and softcover. Most recently, of course, we produced Mike Deodato's JADE WARRIORS ZETTAI NO Absolute Edition as well as the 16-month JADE WARRIORS CALENDAR.

Across these past 10 years we've offered up so many cool books, but our most recent KIckstarter fans have not had an opportunity to get ALL of the many projects we offered.  Few, if any, of the books have been in to their friendly neighborhood comic book stores, and the readers arrived to our Kickstarters days/weeks/month/years after they'd already been launched/completed/fulfilled.

So today we've launched a new/old Kickstarter.  It's officially called the BANZAI GIRL Adult Deluxe Coloring Book by Jinky Coronado, but it's a lot more than that.  We've set it up, through Reward Levels and Add-Ons, to bring you a fresh opportunity to find ALL the books you may have missed.

And if you were there and bought and liked 'em, this offers a chance to grab up some for your book-loving, art-loving friends!

Here's the direct link to the BANZAI GIRL Adult Deluxe Coloring Book by Jinky Coronado -- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/banzaigirl/banzai-girl-adult-deluxe-coloring-book-by-jinky-coronado

This Kickstarter is definitely a "something for everyone!" event.  So please check it out and snag a book today!

And while you're doing that, we'll be busy filling orders from the previous Kickstarters -- and planning out our NEXT Kickstarter, as well.

All my best to you,

BANZAI GIRL IS BACK -- NOW IN HARDCOVER!
almost 2 years ago – Tue, Feb 15, 2022 at 10:54:01 AM

Hello, again! --

Today I've launched a new Kickstarter for BANZAI GIRL Volume 2 in a limited edition hardcover, for the collectible aficionados among you!

My feeling is that a hardcover edition is always cooler and feels more permanent on my shelf than a softcover.  So I'm printing only 400 of cover A and 100 of cover B, and signing some.  Both editions come with a dust jacket for that more sophisticated presentation.

I'm also offering some other collectible BANZAI GIRL goodies you may have missed before.

Spread the word to your friends -- and check out the direct link to my new Kickstarter right here --

YOUR CUSTOM COMMISSIONS SHIPPED TODAY!

JINKY'S UPDATE #12

Hello, everyone --

I've finally finished everybody's commissions, and I shipped them ALL out today via Priority Mail.  

If the Post Office does its job, domestic packages should arrive in your hands by or before this weekend, while international shipments will be a couple of weeks longer. 

 This means that 100% of my BANZAI GIRLS SPECTACULAR Kickstarter, as of today, is fulfilled.

Below is a look at a few of my new drawings.

I did a bunch of "sketch cover" custom commissions, including --

(I'm pretty sure I corrected that spelling before signing and mailing.)

I also did several full-size 11" x 17" commissions, some in full color --

I did a bunch more, but that gives you a taste!

Why'd these all take so long to get finished?  

Partly because I wanted everyone's art to go out the same day.  It just didn't seem right to deliver some people's commissions in April, others in July, and the rest in September.  So to make it fair, I mailed them all out today, when I completed the last of them.

But mainly because I'm working for Disney AND I've also drawn a lot of work for Autarch Games that had deadlines.  Stuff that looks like this --

For those of you wanting a custom commission of your own, please go here to order --

AND FINALLY....

Yes, I will have another BANZAI GIRL Kickstarter coming your way by the end of the year.  

Watch for it!

CUSTOM COMMISSIONS UNDERWAY!

JINKY'S UPDATE #11

Hello, everyone! --

I have shipped every package of printed books.  I have emailed every digital download file.  IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE YOURS, CONTACT ME!!

The only remaining items for me to send are the CUSTOM COMMISSIONS.  I am working right now on both the 11 x 17" commissions and the Sketch cover commissions.  After they're all completed, I will mail them all at once and confirm the shipments in another update.

Here's the first one I've completed.  My Backer wanted Banzai Girl in sort of a Charlie's Angel-type action scene with the characters from DANGER GIRL.  Here's what I did --

I hope you like it!

And yes, there's still time for you to order a custom commission if you want one!

ALMOST DONE!

JINKY'S UPDATE #10

Hello, everyone --

I hope you are all well and safe and had a wonderful Valentine's Day.  :)

Today's news:  I've sent out about 98% of the orders.  My most recent mailings were the remarqued covers that I needed to sketch.

This means that everything has been mailed out EXCEPT for a few custom commissions, on blank sketch covers and otherwise, that I'll complete over the next few weeks.  

With those exceptions, if you have not received your orders by the end of next week (March 6th), let me know and I'll track them.

Thanks for your patience as I got everythnig safely shipped throughout the pandemjic and the sabotage of the U.S. Postal Service.  There were more missing, damaged, and torn open packages this time than any other Kickstrter I've done.  Maddening!  But I've replaced all those orders.

So what's next?

My next Kickstarter will be a very limited edition HARDCOVER of BANZAI GIRL, which I think will be impressive on your bookshelf.

Hugs,

-- Jinky
