Hey, folks! My kickstarter for GONE GHOST is going well, and I have added a few stretch goals. The first one has already been met!
Since we’ve passed $1200, people who are getting a print copy of GONE GHOST will also get a raccoon sticker. The raccoon is taken from a panel of the comic!
If this kickstarter reaches $1500 - and we’re almost there - I will give away one piece of full color original art for every $500 raised. This means that if we hit $1500, I will give away three pieces of art. If we hit $2000 I will give away four pieces of art! They will be on 5x7 cardstock, done with brush pen and watercolor marker.
I've made one of them, and I'll get started on others if we hit $1500! This one features Val and Tori. They may all feature Val and Tori. I don't know! But I do like drawing them.
I will do a drawing to give these away, and will even include people who are only getting digital comics in the drawing. I'll pay for US shipping even if you're not already getting print comics. If I draw someone outside the US who is getting digital comics only, I'll give them the opportunity to pay for shipping, and if they decline, I'll draw for that piece again.
For my kickstarter for WHERE THE RENT WENT, one of the stretch goals was a making of zine, which was entitled Added Value, which was sent to everyone who got a print copy of Where The Rent Went. That's right. An entire extra zine.
I'll do the same thing for GONE GHOST, but only if we hit $2000. We did not quite make $2000 for WHERE THE RENT WENT, so this one is iffy. If you want it to happen, spread the word.
This one, if it comes into being, will be entitled... VALuable Insights! Get it? Like Added VALue? Look, I'm just doing my thing over here. This will probably be the cover:
And hey, if we hit $2000, not only will people get this zine, I'll make another piece of original art to give away, so that's a double incentive.
Meanwhile, I just finished page 21 of GONE GHOST! Here are pages 18 and 19. This is a double page spread that will appear as as the centerfold of the comic. If you don’t want to know anything about what’s been going on in the issue up to this point, skip this!
One last thing:
I've set up a page at my website with the first five pages of Gone Ghost. Why didn't I just put the pages here? Well, that's spoiler protection, friends.
While GONE GHOST will work on its own, it does follow WHERE THE RENT WENT, and these first few pages refer to some of the events of WHERE THE RENT WENT. They don't spoil the main mystery (of where the rent went), but they do provide an update on Val's uh, relationship status that could be seen as a spoiler.
What I'm saying is, if you're waiting to read both WHERE THE RENT WENT and GONE GHOST, maybe hold off on reading these pages... unless you don't care about that kind of thing, in which case... go ahead!
Here's the link for the first five pages of Gone Ghost at the Meeting Comics website!
And here’s that Kickstarter link again! Thank you!
Take care!
