We reached 150k Stretch Goal today. That means all backers of the physical book will receive a free print of Jonathan's original design of Reprobus/Christopher. We are super excited to see this coming along.
We have reached 2500+ backers from all over the world. From Serbia to New Calcedonia, 59 countries in all! We also have 400 backers getting copies of The Secrets of God's'Dog. There is still time to get the extra book.
180K stretch goal in view means that all physical backers might get Cord Nielson's original poster for God's'Dog.
NEW PIN-UP
Our latest pin-up is by Jan Kryciński, ( http://jankrycinski.com ) and is one of the most terrifying versions of our Dog-Headed saint. There is also the interesting idea that the Christ child is carrying the weight of the world. This will be printed in the book with the other pin-ups.
NFT NEWS
If you are still interested in the NFT project, the best bet right now is to join the discord server.
All the details will be presented there. We have a zoom meeting on Tuesday the 30th at 8pm EST, limit 100 people.
I also just published a video on the symbolism of NFTs today.

We reached 140k, which means we are just 10k from the next perk, which is a poster of my original design for the feral Christopher. There is one month left to go, and getting to at least 150k seems right on the horizon.
Can we make it to 200k?
At 200k, all physical backers will get a digital copy of The Secrets of God's'Dog. We are working hard on putting together right now. It will be a great addition to the graphic novel. Don't forget to get that perk if you haven't yet.
Media
We've had some more interesting media attention worth paying attention to.
Look out in the next week for more. Jonathn is supposed to be interviewed by Pints with Aquinas in the next few days.
Finished Pin-up by Jesse White and Matt Crotts.
Jesse did the inking and Matt Crotts finished his coloring for this wonderful image of George encountering Reprobus which will be included at the end of the graphic novel with several more artists' hommage to God's'Dog.
NFT Project
We already have over 100 people signed up for our NFT project. There is still time to sign up for the project. Send us your email address to participate.
In a week or so, those on the mailing list will be invited to a Discord Server for the final details of the project. This is where it stands now.
The concept of the NFTs will be to create access to symbolic secrets in a hierarchy of rarity. NFT owners will have an early access to the book by about 1 month. Eath NFT will unlock a downloadable PDF of the graphic novel, but depending on the rarity, might contain a different cover page and a secret at the end of the book. These secrets will be related to symbolic patterns in the story itself. The secret will only be available to those who buy the NFT, but of course will be shareable through screengrabs or other means if the owners decide to share. The secrets will also be shared when the NFT will be resold on the secondary market.
An NFT project will be repeated for the other books as well, making the original NFT owners both contributors to the God's'Dog project while also being investors who will benefit from the increasing popularity of the project in the future.
This is the current structure.
77 NFTs in all
40 NFTs of the original graphic novel, which will be exactly the same as the printed one .
20 NFTs of a version with a secret based on natural patterns.
10 NFTS of a version with a secret based on rituals.
5 NFTs of a version with a cryptographic hint.
2 NFTs of a version with an extra illustrated comic book page by Jesse White which will add a secret knowledge within the story itself.
The God's'Dog project will receive 10% upon all resale of NFTs.

We are so excited to have reached and busted 2000 backers. And it seems the Dog-Headed Men are happy about it too, because they have been coming out of the woodworks in the past few days.
On Saturday Night Live two days ago, they put together a very strange, and not very funny sketch about the military developing a hybrid Dog Head warrior to fight instead of humans. You can bet St Christopher is winking at us from Heaven.
And today, a very disturbing article was published in the SUN which details a dog-man coming out of the bush and frightening an Australian man. I think this man did not realize the monster just wanted to encourage him to support the God's'Dog campaign on Indiegogo.

I am really excited to reach 120k just now. Thanks to all for the support. We still have some time to go, so please share! The more we are on board, the more it garantees our long term success with these books.
New Pin-up
Here is a new pin-up of St. George done by Matt Crotts which will be in the book. Matt is a great comic book artist who is behind the wonderful Kyrie series
Look out for us on Jason Brubaker's channel soon, I recorded an interview with Cord there.
Also did an interview with Geeks under Grace, so look out for that as well.
NFT Plan
I have gathered almost 100 people on our NFT project email list. It is really going to be something you have never seen before, a mix between a treasure hunt, collecting rare things, but also it will play with the tensions between keeping and revealing secrets, because the NFT will be linked to symbolic secrets hidden in the story.
So there is still time. If you are interested, send me your email.
