Very sad indeed.

Josh is on vacation now and as soon as he gets back we're going to get the prints going, thanks for everybody's patience and don't worry Josh and I will follow through on this it's just been difficult with the way everything happened with Mr.Sunkist's health.

I know we all have been a great comfort and help to JayJay getting through this hard time.

Hey all, just to confirm what Hawk said above - I'm back from vacation now, & I'm moving forward with getting the print run done. The poster is ready to go to press & I now have a final count of 75 copies. This stage should be complete by the middle of next week, & once I have the prints in hand I'll sign 'em and send them off to New York to get all the other signatures done.

Thank you all for being patient & understanding with this project through its tumultuous ups & (very unfortunate) downs, and for participating in it. Despite the tragedy of Mr Sunkist's passing, you should all be proud of yourselves for contributing to this - you've collectively helped give JayJay the peace of mind to know she did everything she could to save her little guy. That's priceless in my book. I'm proud to stand alongside you all as incredible people & amazing Valiant fans. :clap: :thumb:

We will continue to update everyone as we progress through the completion of this project.

A quick update - with some slightly crummy news. I got a proof back of the final print yesterday, and it looked like absolute crap. I'll have to sort that out, either the printer messed up, or something was wrong at my end & I'll need to rework it a bit. :!:

Greg has prepared a fantastic Certificate of Authenticity for us though, so this week hasn't been a total write-off for the project :D

Update!

The print run is done, got the box of 80 in my house [we bumped it up to 80 from 75] ready to sign & number up, then off they'll go to New York for the other signatures :D

Happy Holidays! Mr. Sunkist is still with us. He is declining but we cuddle him and keep him warm. His brain tumor has been growing at an alarming rate and he gets chilled, but we got a nice warm baby blanket for him and that helps. Unfortunately, the costs keep spiraling and I'm getting behind in work caring for him. But since these are the last things we'll be able to do for him, we take the time. I'm going to have to raise some money for his final expenses, as well, so I'll be selling some of my artwork. I have some painted color pages from Valiant, Milestone, Defiant and Broadway Comics. I'll be posting notices on the Valiant forum, Milestone page and on my Facebook page and Twitter. If anyone is interested, let me know and if you'd like to know my FB or Twitter, here they are: http://www.facebook.com/jayjay.jackson" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://twitter.com/JayJayJacksonDH" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Don't forget we are also doing a draw from the print buyers for a Unity GOLD graciously donated by Dinesh Shamdasani.

Thanks to all for the support in this sad time.
Just reading this thread and wanted to see if you are still taking donations for the print ?
Always loved JayJay

Sorry, the donation phase is done, the print run has been set at 80 & the prints are already making the rounds to get all the signatures done. If one does become available out of the set for some unforeseen reason, I'll let you know.

Hey all,

I should have everyone's email and will message you when I get the prints.

Right now they are with JayJay and have been signed by Josh Deck, Jim Shooter and JayJay Jackson.

JayJay just needs to get them to the VEI office and Dinesh will sign and send to me along with a Unity gold for draw prize.

I'll then get them out to everybody as quick as I can.

Sorry it's taking so long but it is happening and we appreciate everybody's patience.

Cheers,

HawK
