Great news! The 2014 John Picacio Calendar is officially funded! The calendars, sketchbooks, and ‘La Sirena’ Grande Loteria cards will now be a published reality from Lone Boy. HOORAY! 🙂

The race has just begun though — and this is where the fun really begins for you as a backer.

All backers pledging $50 and above to the Kickstarter begin scoring a unique collection of objects that will be the envy of all. The first Grande Loteria card was ‘La Sirena’. She’s the first of 54 Grande Loteria cards that will eventually become a reality, even after this campaign is over. If you’re one of those $50+ backers, you receive a new Grande Loteria card — at every stretch goal this campaign achieves — absolutely free.

The next Grande card is ‘El Arpa’ (or ‘The Harp’) — pictured above, lower left. The next stretch goal is $18,000. When the funding hits that number, she becomes the second Grande, and every $50+ backer automatically scores one. And we keep going, adding uber-collectible Grandes to your rewards, with each stretch goal achieved.

I want you to have an ‘El Arpa’ for your collection. If you haven’t already — jump aboard the campaign while there are still Early Bird Rewards packages. The campaign expires on November 14th. None of these rewards will be available through other outlets.

Please continue sharing and RTing the news. Make sure your friends don’t miss out. The more backers join us, the more Grande cards you score!

On to 18K! 🙂
