My Illustrated Life is an ongoing journal comic for all ages. This Kickstarter is to print the first volume, containing 200 comics, in paperback. Consider helping me make this come to life, and get a copy for your bookshelf!
My Illustrated Life started in December of 2017 from an assignment in college. I’ve had a ton of fun making more comics since then and this year is the comic’s 2nd anniversary!
The comic is series of journal comics, but there are some other comics in there as well! There’s some funny moments from my DnD sessions with friends and even some comics about video games. There’s a little bit of something for a variety of tastes! There is of course, a whole lot of comics with my cats. (What can I say? I love the little quirky goofballs.) You’ll also find the rest of my family in some comics, and even my friends starring along side me on occassion.
It’s currently on Webtoons and Tapas.
The main reward is, of course, the book! This book will be an 8.5 x 11″ paperback book with 200 comics from the series inside. There’s also some new art for title pages and of course, the cover.
Aside from the book being something you can get from this Kickstarter, there’s also a poster made by me. This will be 11″ x 17″ in full color from CatPrint!
The other rewards besides the book, depend on how much you pledge. You could get a doodle on the inside of the cover, an A5 sized drawing (related to the comic) or even a digital commission!
I prepared some stretch goals just in case we surpass the original goal! Anything physical that’s unlocked will be also available as an add-on when the backer-kit is sent out in January 2020.
I’ve never done a Kickstarter before, but I’ve been researching through sucessful kickstarters I’d backed and through people documenting their process; as well as asking questions of my friend Bryan Ballinger – who sucessfuly funded his Animal Gas campaign here on Kickstarter.
Aside from asking questions, I am the only one running this Kickstarter. I’ve taken that into account and made sure I’m not adding too many rewards that would slow me down in regards to delivering things on time. However, we all know the postal system can be difficult at times, and as long as all the rewards get to me I will always update backers should anything get in the way of delivering this at my promised time.
As this is my first Kickstarter, I’m very open to learning how to make things better, especially for my backers. I can be reached in the comments and through messaging on Kickstarter, so I can make sure this process goes as smoothly as possible.
Thanks so much for taking a look at this Kickstarter. If you can’t pledge any money to the campaign at this time, you can always share this with your friends and family. Maybe even ask someone to back it for a Christmas present for you? Any support is always helpful, and I appreciate you taking a look!
