Hi all! I've been taking a little bit of a breather since finishing my first pass at The Black Feather Falls, preparing to work all summer on the cover and revisions. If you call tabling at MoCCA and Brooklyn Zine Fest "taking a break". But now we have an approved cover sketch, above! I'm pretty excited about designing the book - I hope to have a new image with some color and finished typography to show you soon.
But in the meantime I have something even more exciting to tell you - you can now pre-order
The Black Feather Falls! My publisher, Soaring Penguin, is doing a
Kickstarter right now and you can pre-order The Black Feather Falls (along with other great Soaring Penguin titles) at the touch of a mouse - no fishing around in a Diamond catalogue, and you'll be the first to see what I've done with the finished story.
Kickstarter is great for leveling the ground between scrappy small publishers like mine and the big conglomerates - the current distribution system is just plain broken for smaller publishers.
In addition to Black Feather Falls, I'm pretty excited to see It's Hard to Be A Girl, by Québécoise artist Bach. It's always exciting to discover new lady cartoonists! That's what I've ordered out of the wide range of options...
go take a peek!
Pre-order today!
