any infos on when the book will come out now?

@Molambo I received an email from Indigo (Canadian book chain) saying my order was cancelled. But no mention of why or what.

I just double checked and it seems listings online have either been removed or post as sold out... not sure what’s going on it’d be nice to get an update though

@Molambo I've not received any updates, but on checking Blackwell's site it now says 1 Dec for dispatch.

Wondering about updates on this. Amazon keeps moving back the ship by date. I’m guessing it’s just a giant legal mess right now.

@Pamela-Fraley Just saw that it’s back up for pre-order for B&N with shipping in March.

My Amazon pre-order says it shipped and has a tracking number

BichonBistro · 30 Nov 2020, 17:21

@K-Flagg I have a valid tracking number too, arriving Wednesday, but when I click on "buy again" on amazon, the book does not appear. Strange.

IT'S HERE!!!!!

AND IT'S AMAZING!
Great job @Jake-Parker!

Cole Rts · 1 Dec 2020, 05:15

@burvantill no way!! When did you get it? Where is it available?

charitymunoz · 1 Dec 2020, 13:40

Yay!! It's arriving Thursday!!! I know October is Inktober month, but I might have to do another round after it arrives. Thank you Jake Parker!

jaepereira · 1 Dec 2020, 15:12

@burvantill Mine's on the way! Should be here tomorrow

burvantill · 1 Dec 2020, 16:01

@Cole-Rts I ordered it months ago off amazon before the drama happened. I just got it in the mail yesterday.

NessIllustration · 1 Dec 2020, 16:59

@burvantill Wouhou!! This looks really great!

I watched 15 minutes of that video some months ago (which by the way, I found because of the name of jake in the title of the video) It was obvious from the first moment that that guy has to grow up and mature. Like Gary Vaynerchuk put it "There are people who want to build the taller building in the city tearing down the rest of the buildings". I blocked him, don want to waste one minute of energy listening to that guy crying.
You should do the same.

Cole Rts · 1 Dec 2020, 17:55

@burvantill dang! I knew I should’ve bought it!

alexthoffman · 1 Dec 2020, 19:27

@burvantill I preordered it too and I was told by Amazon to expect to it tomorrow. I just got an email today saying it was “undeliverable” and that I will be refunded. Did you also get it from Amazon? If not I want to try a different source.

BichonBistro · 1 Dec 2020, 20:03

@alexthoffman I pre-ordered from amazon June 12 and kept getting delayed shipment emails from them. I wrote chronicle and asked them about the release status and this was their reply on nov 23:
"The release has been put on hold indefinitely until the artists in question come to an agreement. Did you pre-order it through us directly? If not, I recommend asking for a refund from wherever you pre-ordered the book from."

Mine was delivered today--surely chronicle knew this Nov 23. I am very disappointed in chronicle's failure to support @Jake-Parker. I am glad I did not cancel my order, as I do not see it currently on amazon as available to order.

I have only glanced through it, but accusations that the drawings are not in Jake's style are ludicrous.
Looking forward to starting off 2021 with this book as a guide. I hope it will be available to everyone soon!

@alexthoffman dang. I got mine from amazon. That’s weird.

burvantill · 2 Dec 2020, 00:42

@BichonBistro agreed. This has Jake Parker written all over it. I didn’t find any page to be anything other than a representation of everything I have learned from him. I love all of his little tips and advice throughout the book. Someday I’m gonna have to meet him in person and get him to sign it.
