From the Dust is Growing Up...and FAST!

New Marketing Campaign:
So I didn't exactly go to school for marketing, but an amazing social media director has been helping me to understand and sell From the Dust much better than ever before.

Compared to previous ads, I think these below are lightyears ahead of where we were just a few months ago. And boy is it a lot of work!

Keep in mind some are to be used in conjunction with a Facebook post.

I am making literally hundreds of these for use throughout the entire next year.

Multi-Touch Edition delayed to April:

All of this marketing stuff distracts from creation of the actual products themselves! As such I have yet to finalize and complete the Multi-Touch Edition of From the Dust #1: The Last King of Judah, so it won't be out until April. Have patience! I'm only one man, remember, and I do have quite a few other things I'm working on!!

Patience, grasshopper. Patience!!!

From the Dust In the Lives of Latter-day Saints

Real Needs. Real Purpose. Real Value.

From the Dust serves the needs of Latter-day Saints — in particular children. Many LDS families feel a need to bridge the gap between ancient scripture and modern life, but aren't always sure how to effectively do that. From the Dust is a tool designed to bridge that gap.

As a creator, favorite thing to see is my creations fulfilling their purpose in life. Here are just a few taken from fan feedback, online reviews, and book reviews from professionals:

Real Feedback.

“The kids loved, LOVED the books I gave them. Keira's been reading it when she wakes up in the mornings and Jonathan looks at the pictures.”

Kenny, Utah, USA

“I was very taken with From The Dust. The artwork is amazing, but the writing & research and passionate effort that went into this one book in the series is astounding! I look forward to reading and enjoying the next one, and the next one and the next one! Double thumbs up!”

Jacqueline, Johannesberg,South Africa

“Wow. Just Wow. What an amazingly entertaining and educational piece of interpretive art! I'm very impressed and I can't wait for the second issue!”

Alvin, Virginia, USA

“The artwork and storyline are intriguing, educational, and fun. From the Dust is a fun way to learn, and even more fun to share with family and friends. I look forward to the continuation of the story.”

"LDS Grandfather," USA

“I was expecting just a comic book. What I got was the back story to the fall of Jerusalem, character studies, a bit of a Hebrew lesson, advice on drawing and beautiful artwork. I was expecting a simple re-telling of the Book of Mormon. What I got caused me to be more interested in reading the Bible, particularly the Book of Jeremiah and wanting more. I was expecting to buy one for myself. What I got was enough to share with friends and family.”

Mary, Utah, USA

Multi-Touch Update

I will have news about the Multi-Touch Edition of From the Dust next week.

From the Dust World Premiere!

Humble Origins.
I threw a World Premiere Party for friends and their families last week (don't worry - we have public events coming soon!) We had a wonderful turnout of over 50 people throughout the night! The primary purpose of the party was to help educate people on my vision of From the Dust. From the Dust isn't just a "comic book" but rather it is more like a Disney film that just happens to not be animated. From the Dust, once complete, will be one of the biggest graphic novels in the world, and will be the only comic book series -OR- movie that tells the story of the destruction of Jerusalem in the Old Testament and Book of Mormon.

Luckily, this unique series is also designed for a family audience, so adults, teenagers, and children will all find it entertaining and educational.

Now, let's look at the party!

Starting the process of putting concept artwork on the walls of my living room.

Almost done! Notice the huge stacks of paper that didn't get put up due to lack of time!!!

All of this artwork was created while I had a broken foot a couple summers ago.

PARTY! On the right you can see someone flipping through the 250-page "screenplay."
It's only 25% done. From the Dust is a BIG DREAM. Don't the scriptures deserve it???!??

This is promotional product I didn't intend to sell but people
started asking me for it and I sold quite a few!

My comments are green-post-its, other people's comments are other colors.
 The walls were covered by the end of the night!

Can you believe that you never had a comic book about the Book of Mormon???

It's hard not to fall in love with From the Dust once you read it.

The new Multi-Touch Book was available to demo!!

Some of From the Dust's most loyal fans!!

Over 100 copies sold in 2.5 hours!

I wasn't intending to sell very many copies of From the Dust, but I felt it was important to have it at the party for purchase. By the end of the night, however, we'd sold over 100 copies!!! AMAZING! Thanks to everyone who supported the project!

To all you fans please add your review to Amazon.com and Goodreads.com! We need your help to get From the Dust off the ground and flying! We're selling a lot but we still have a lot more to go!
