Kickstart This Thing!


Gigi Gutierrez is in trouble!

The All-American model/former athlete finds herself in London with no idea how she got there while being chased by mad scientists intent on profiting by plastinating her body for display as a museum exhibit or a shop mannequin. It's a fate prettier than death, but Gigi wants no part of it! She may be trapped in the coolest city on earth with nothing but the bikini on her body, but are her petrifying pursuers ready for her athletic skills, quick wit and upscale store credit accounts?

Thus the latest Pretty Vacant adventure gets underway! I'm still working with Henry on Pretty Vacant: Made In China Part 2, but two things happened: funding was delayed, and another artist, Dan, wanted to work with me. I really thought PV:MIC2 would be my last Pretty Vacant story for some time, but fate played me a different hand.

To ease the cash flow issues, my friend Steve told me to look at Kickstarter. After the vetting process, they agreed to support me in my quest for funding. And so far it's worked: I was at 28% funded after one day, and 42% funded after two. However, I still need to get to 100% to actually receive the funds. There's 27 days left...

Here's hoping it can happen!
