Woohoo! "Vxd" just reached its funding goal with two weeks to spare!
Thank you to everyone who backed this campaign even though it is very different than anything I have written before.
I'll be posting the first of the "stretch goal" backer goodies soon!

"Procrasti-cleaning" and the Dead Zone

Anyone else a procrasti-cleaner?
I’m so happy to be able to finally spill that the featured variant cover artist is none other than colorist Chris Sotomayor. He had never illustrated a cover before. He absolutely nailed it! What a privilege to get his "rookie card" out there on a comic I wrote! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gre...
Thank you, awesome human! You are the best!
The last chance to win this first variant cover by an industry journeyman! Leave you guess in the Kickstarter update comments at www.vxdcomic.com .
Here's the last clue before the cover reveal. There is still no winner as of 9am pacific, so the slab is still in play! Hit "Notify my on launch" and then add your guess to the comments of the last update to be eligible to win.
Clue #2 posted on our Kickstarter prelaunch page. Hit "Notify me on launch" at www.vxdcomic.com to gain access to the updates section where you can enter you guess as a comment.
The prelaunch page is up for my next Kickstarter. Hit "Notify me on launch" at www.vxdcomic.com to get update details on our cover reveal contest. So excited! 🥳

Watched “Greenland” last night and quite enjoyed it. Ironically, the scene that was a reality stretch for me was near the end. They saw those birds and not a single birder among the survivors excitedly yelled out the species ID! 😂 #birder
Wait. You can intentionally walk someone without throwing a pitch?! *googles it* Since 2017, you say. Well then. 😚🎶

Charleston Chew? Frozen or nah?
Have any fellow Canadian comic creators found an insurance company willing to offer general liability insurance for a home business if you are selling into the US? I ran into a new glitch today...
My own is a novel but happy to tag Patrick @plugo.bsky.social for his comic! www.kickstarter.com/projects/plu...
You did really fantastic work on this.
Woohoo! So glad it made it to you!
Hey awesome comic creators/reviewers,
My book designer left a spot for a pull quote on the inside front cover of my new conspiracy thriller Vxd. Some "social proof" would be really helpful before I crowdfund the book. If you are interested, hit me up, and I'll pass along the link to the PDF via DM.
I may end up giving up on physical comic tiers on Kickstarter entirely.
It’s not that there aren’t workarounds. It’s just that the amount of hoop jumping may simply not make it worth the effort. *sigh*
Heads up for 🇨🇦 creators. Shipping service Chit Chats is running an AMA about shipping and US tariffs today.

This has HUGE ramifications for advertising and independent creators. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
Bwahaha! You’re not wrong!
Into the last hours of this campaign by a fellow Canadian. You know what to do!

Congratulations!
As a Digital Comics Specialist I thought I'd share a little behind the scenes for some of the process for digital comics production! A Thread🧵
As convenient as a phone or tablet is, it can make for a difficult time reading comics...

I have never seen an explicit guide to age appropriateness before. I found this super helpful. comicsplusapp.com/age-appropri...
Love Scrivener! One of the only pieces of software I’ve owned where doing the tutorial and/or reading the manual felt wildly worthwhile!
I'd much rather have my money going to pay comic book collaborators than fintech giants like PayPal. //
