Progress Report, Day 15: Monkey Break Two

I dropped the artwork for First Issues/Care off at the printers today. Once that's done and the barcodes are printed up I'm going to start putting the packaging together. The first round of stamps came in the mail but I only have gold and silver ink to test them with. Still, it's exciting to get a stamp of yourself. More and more this is looking like a viable thing.

Plus I've been slowly doling out Kickstarter prizes. The only prizes I'm sleeping on is the YouTube covers of songs, mostly because I'm afraid just recording them on my still camera will look and sound chintzy and stupid. My perfectionism won't let that kind of thing stand so I'm putting it off until all of the album art components come and I can give the songs my full attention.

One Got Fat is also coming along. The recording is 95% done. If I get it completed and mastered I could be pressing two CDs this winter, which is really rad. Here's the first mockup of art for it. Depending on how I feel about the rubber stamping process with FI/C I might make a series of monkey-face stamps for it but we'll see. I like the colors on this so I might make it an insert:
