irisjaycomics: NEW KICKSTARTER UPDATE! In one convenient post-sized package. The art above is by NEXT LEVEL MASTERMIND and close personal friend D.E. Belton!! It’s just one of the many guest pieces we’ll have in the book. Get lost in D.E.’s art for a couple hours on his blog here: http://getdestroyed-staydestroyed.tumblr.com I wrote another XW Influences post on my blog! This one is about Snow Crash, a book I have…. some pretty complex feelings about. Read it here! http://blog.irisjay.net/2016/10/23/xw-influences-part-two-snow-crash/ I ALSO had a comic article of mine go up on ZEAL, the best “video game review literary journal that also hosts comics and doesn’t always strictly talk about video games” site on the Internet! It’s about SUPERHOT and why I resonated with the game so much. If you like virtual reality posthuman stuff, you’ll love this! Read it here, BUT BE WARNED, CONTAINS HEAVY SPOILERS: https://medium.com/mammon-machine-zeal/the-system-will-set-you-free-659c2ce6a100#.g3v3d9h2k FINALLY, some campaign updates: We’re just past the halfway mark in the campaign and we’re at 41% funded, with 64 backers pledging $2,505! In some ways, this rules, because heck yeah, sixty-four people like my book enough to throw multiple thousands of dollars at it! But in other ways this isn’t great, because we’ve got only 12 days left to raise $3,500, after only raising about $1k in the last two weeks. And unlike the last two campaigns I held (on Indiegogo!), if I don’t make goal, these books aren’t going to get made for a long while. I have very little personal money right now, and can’t afford to pay for the print run out of pocket, much less any of the perks. It sucks having to beg, and I’m still figuring out other ways to market the Crossed Wires Kickstarter (without desperately responding to one of the million vampiric KS promotional emails I’ve been getting every day), but I worry more and more that I’m rapidly running out of options. Anyways! Stiff upper lip! Twelve days means there’s still plenty of time! The world doesn’t have NEARLY enough cyberpunk action comics about queer millennials, so let’s fix that problem together! If you can back, any amount is super appreciated… and if you can’t back, please tell your friends, social circles and (if you have one) fanbases about this campaign! BACK THE CAMPAIGN HERE: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/irisjay/crossed-wires-volume-1/ COMING SOON: More guest art, a couple guest APPEARANCES and (if I have time) a draft of the new cast page I’m putting together for the website!
