<\/a><\/div>\nGreat news! The 2014 John Picacio Calendar is officially funded!<\/a> The calendars, sketchbooks, and \u2018La Sirena\u2019 Grande Loteria cards will now be a published reality from Lone Boy. HOORAY! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n The race has just begun though \u2014 and this is where the fun really<\/i> begins for you as a backer.<\/p>\n All backers pledging $50 and above to the Kickstarter begin scoring a unique collection of objects that will be the envy of all<\/i>. The first Grande Loteria card was \u2018La Sirena\u2019.<\/a> She\u2019s the first of 54 Grande Loteria cards that will eventually become a reality, even after this campaign is over. If you\u2019re one of those $50+ backers, you receive a new Grande Loteria card \u2014 at every stretch goal this campaign achieves \u2014 absolutely free.<\/i><\/p>\n The next Grande card is \u2018El Arpa\u2019 (or \u2018The Harp\u2019) \u2014 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.<\/p>\n I want you to have an \u2018El Arpa\u2019 for your collection.\u00a0If you haven\u2019t already \u2014 jump aboard the campaign while there are still Early Bird Rewards packages.<\/a>\u00a0The campaign expires on November 14th. None of these rewards will be available through other outlets.<\/p>\n Please continue sharing and RTing the news. Make sure your friends don\u2019t miss out. The more backers join us, the more Grande cards you score!<\/p>\n On to 18K! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
