As I announced with Wednesday’s update, I’m doing another sketch card fundraising thing-a-ma-thing, but this time I’m going for more money so that I can afford to do an important research trip for a graphic novel I want to start drawing next year, called Saving Halloween. You can still read an early version of the first chapter here, which was originally my senior thesis when I graduated from art school. The final book would be all-new, of course, but research is vital to making it into the best thing it can be. For more of me making a case for why I want to do this thing, check out a post I made about it in my art journal. I would also be attending New England Webcomics Weekend.
So my extra incentive for people to donate to my cause is, obviously, sketch cards! I did some last time for the kind donators, and they came out pretty well. EXAMPLES!
Okay, some things…
1. 100% of donation money and profits from anything people buy from the store will count in the status bar above. I’ll keep it up-to-date so you know what the deal is.
2. There’s a new donation wallpaper! It’s very pretty! It has a raccoon!
3. Anyone who donates at least $5 and gives me a valid mailing address will get a sketch card, customized to their request. The more you donate, the bigger and more elaborate the sketch card will be. I can also do digital sketch cards if you wish, hi-res for good print quality.
4. Buying things from the store — such as some the original comic strip art — will get you extra bonus things thrown in. Whatever I can think of!
5. Even if I fail at this and make a fool of myself, you guys are still awesome. Thanks for reading my comic.
