I'm creating my first 3 officially-licensed Magic: the Gathering playmats based on my classic illustrations for the game.

I just wanted to thank you for supporting this Kickstarter. Together we're creating some cool playmats. We didn't quite get to the stretch goal of unlocking Auriok Salvagers, but the interest was high, and if I do another of these down the road, I'll be sure to bring that one back in.
I opted not to include things like prints or other items that would complicate shipping because I wanted to make sure I could manage the fulfillment side of this as cleanly as possible on my first try. But in the next couple of weeks supporters should receive a Backerkit survey, and there you'll find a few more goodies you can add-on if you wish; if you decide you would like to add a playmat or whatever, you'll be able to do that there, too.
I really liked the idea of a shorter-than-usual Kickstarter, particularly because of the amount of "noise" generated in getting the word out. I don't like noise, and don't like being the source of it, so getting this done fairly quickly and minimizing irrating folks was a high priority for me.
Again, thank you very much for your support. I look forward to getting these out to you as soon as I'm able!

I just had a few great days at Grand Prix Las Vegas where I got to meet some of you and thank you in person for backing this project. I also got some requests for further mats.
Without further ado, the first stretch goal has been added. At $5000 you'll all have the chance to choose Fifth Dawn's, "Auriok Salvagers", also reprinted in Modern Masters! You will be able to choose it in any tier. If you want to upgrade from the tier you're in to a multiple-mat tier, you can gain some savings by doing so.
Additionally, a mat plus artist proof tier will appear for this mat. If you already backed a proof-tier, you can still pickup any other mat as an add-on after the end of the funding period.
We'll only get there if people want it. Any sharing of the campaign to help it get there would be extra helpful.
We have one week left in this short Kickstarter. Thanks for your support.
I am sitting here at LAX on my way to Grand Prix Las Vegas. In less than 36 hours you all funded this project, which means my first playmats will now become a reality.
THANK YOU.
One reason I wanted to work with Backerkit for fulfillment is so that you could pick your mats at the end. This will be especially useful if we unlock further playmat designs!
I am working out final details (and am at the airport as mentioned), but expect to see news soon on that front.
Once again, thanks so much for your support. Let's make some cool stuff together.
