3 Stretch Goals in 1 Week!
about 3 years ago – Wed, Mar 31, 2021 at 02:02:12 AM

It hasn't even been a full week and you all already helped us unlock 3 Stretch Goals! That means the Pin Up Gallery will now be included in the book, along with Preserves and the Epilogue! I'm at nearly a complete loss for words and so grateful for all of the support.

Our next stretch goal of $35,000 will add a pink ribbon bookmark to the book. You can keep helping us get there - while upgrading your book at the same time - by spreading the word about Gardener! You can share this link with anyone that would dig Gardener: https://bit.ly/GardenerKS We also had a great suggestion to offer additional copies of the book as Add Ons, so those are now available as well!

And here's a few other Kickstarters to check out:

Matt Mair Lowery's Thoughtscape just launched today, and they're serving up sci-if action, thrills and chillsin the tradition of 2000 AD, Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone.

And then we've got two that are ending soon!

Jim Demonakos' documentary Drawing Monsters, about Mike Mignola and his creation of Hellboy and the Mignolaverse. 

And 

Grant DeArmitt & Lane Lloyd's Hunt for the Solavore, a 42-page sci-fi saga about a beast that devours suns... and the king who dares to defy it.

Funded in Day One!
about 3 years ago – Sat, Mar 27, 2021 at 12:59:12 PM

I had a good feeling we'd hit our funding goal but never expected to hit it within 12 hours of launch! 

I made a funding bar to have vines grow to cover the staff as we reached our goal, but... it's already done!

Thank you so much for backing Gardener and helping to make this book a reality. It means the world to see this outpouring of support right out the gate for the project I've been working on over the last three years.

I've been overwhelmed by the kindness and enthusiasm everyone's shown for this book and I can't wait to see the stretch goals that we unlock as we move forward!

One minor update - some of you asked if the Goo Man pins will be available as an add on, and now they are! After all, Goo Man is pretty sweet.

And last but not least, I can't help but spotlight a fellow project that launched alongside Gardener yesterday, The Dusk by Alex Segura, Elizabeth Little and David Hahn, who are flipping the script on the "might makes right" narrative approach to superhero stories and adding a more grounded perspective in line with modern crime fighting. I encourage you to check out The Dusk here on Kickstarter to read even more about the story, see preview pages and back it!


Thanks again everyone!
