I launched a Kickstarter project! Help fund Poorcraft!

Hey guys, Spike here. I’ve got good news and bad news.

The bad news is, TAZ won’t update until Monday. The good news is, that’s because I’ve been insanly busy getting together a project for Kickstarter. And now, it’s finally ready.

For the unaware, Kickstarter “is a funding platform for artists, designers, filmmakers, musicians, journalists, inventors, explorers,” and other people with great ideas looking for funding to execute them. When you post a project to Kickstarter, to set a monetary goal and a time limit, and try like hell to convince people you’re worth an investment; It’s kinda like what I do whenever I’m publishing a new volume of TAZ to pre-pay for printing. Thing is, I don’t wanna do TAZ via Kickstarter. I wanna do something else.

It’s called Poorcraft.

Click over to the KS page for more info on what I’m talking about. I hope you dig what you see and maybe help me out with iron Circus comics’ first non-Templar, Arizona project.

One more thing: I’m gonna be at APE this weekend, sharing a table with Corey Barnes of Turnpike. it’s gonna be my last convention of the year! I’ll be at table 261. Come say hi!

So that’s how they know each other. Huh. But I guess it shouldn’t be surprising a guy like Gordon has attempted a little self-medication, now and again.

Gonna take this opportunity to shill once more for my Kickstarter project, Poorcraft: A Comic Book Guide to Frugal Urban and Suburban Living. It made goal, but don’t let that stop you from contributing! More money for the project means bigger runs, cheaper books, and better pay for the artist, Diana Nock. It also helps cover incidentals, like S&H and taxes. Every bit helps. Thank you, guys.

More comics soon.

Some of you probably wonder why Biggs tolerates EJ at all. That is, apart from EJ’s recent threat to rat out EJ’s family to the Jakes. You’ll see.

Anyway, this is the last page before I head to Fallcon in Minnesota. I’m going out a day early to chillax with Abby and Diana, and we’re gonna try to do a UStream. So, watch out for that.

That’s it… apart from next week’s big launch of my Kickstarter project. More on that when it comes.

Later, gators.
