25% | Eisner Award Ceremony | Brief Update
Hey everyone! Brief update this time.
I’m currently in America for a month. I came here to attend the Eisner Award ceremony at San Diego Comic Con, which is what The Carpet Merchant is nominated in (for Best Digital Comic). It didn’t win! But I am happy all the same knowing how much the comic’s story and characters meant to so many people.
Anyway! The campaign’s at 27% and really close to reaching 30% and £5000! Thanks again to everyone who has backed. Please keep the momentum!
Until 30%!
