Hi guys!

Exciting news!  
Less Than Secret is less secret than it's ever been and is now available for sale in the US!  Not only that, but it's available through our BRAND NEW STORE!
Picture
Rainer and I have partnered to publish under the name CanonWrite Productions.  In addition to Less Than Secret, we're working on new anthology projects that we hope to roll out on a regular basis.   It's a Bigfoot-sized step, but we're ready to take it!

You can visit our US store at CanonWrite.com, and we hope to have international shipping options available soon.  If you have a Mothman in your life who would like the book for the holidays, or if a Chupacabra ate your copy, now's the chance to get more!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

"Sisyphus" - A Comic Live-Read

7/9/2021

Hi guys!

I will be participating in SPACE Online 2021 tomorrow, and as part of that, I was asked to make a live-read version of one of my comics! I went with one I recently did for Oh, Comics! #29, which I've mostly had to keep quiet until the anthology was released to the public but received permission to display here.

I had a great time making this, and definitely plan to make more in the future. Let me know what you think!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

WE CLEARED THE $3,000 STRETCH GOAL!

4/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Back when we were originally planning the Less Than Secret Kickstarter, we were going to set the goal at $3,000.  We decided to drop it to $1,500 because we wanted to improve the chances of getting funded, and $3,000 seemed like a riskier amount.  Could we make that in thirty days?

Well guess what.  We just did, and we made it in five.
Picture
From the bottom of all our hearts, thank you.  Reaching this first stretch goal means that we're no longer going to be printing the bare minimum of books necessary to cover costs.  We will be able to do a proper print run.  We'll be able to create extra sales copies, and we'll be able to distribute them to our contributors.  Any artist will tell you, free copies of books mean a lot.

Our stretch goals from here on are going to be pretty straightforward: for every additional $1,000 we raise, we'll be increasing our creative teams' page rates by $5/page, or $60/story.  This means that the next stretch goal is $4,000.  Before, I wouldn't have dared to get my hopes up that we'd hit that goal; now, we have a real shot.

We still have plenty going on over the next 24 days of the campaign.  Our twice-weekly interviews with the contributors over on Kelci's YouTube channel started today with Rainer Kannenstine, and the Ben Wright-Heuman interview will be this Saturday, 4/10, at 1 PM EST.  That same day, the Early Bird Specials will expire, so we'll be pushing those right up until the last minute.  We also still have Angela Boyle's Coloring Page Challenge, and we'll be announcing the first "Draw This In Your Style" Challenge soon.  It's going to be a busy few weeks, to say the least.

Once again, thank you all for supporting this project in its early days.  You have no idea how much it means to us.

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Coming Soon: LESS THAN SECRET!

Just off the edge of reality, where we can’t be sure what is real and what isn’t, lie cryptids! Creatures of science and myth, they range from the terrifying, like the Jersey Devil; to the mysterious, like the Mothman; to the downright bizarre, like the Fresno Nightcrawler.

Less Than Secret is a black-and-white comics anthology celebrating cryptids in all their forms! We have brought together some of the best up-and-coming artists to share their takes on these mysterious beings with seven stories that feature horror, comedy, and everything in-between!

Hi guys,

For those of you who are unaware, I've been working on a secret project for the last year.  I've worked with anthologies before as a contributor, and even as a book designer; this time, however, my fantastic creative partner Rainer Kannenstine and I have been running an anthology as co-organizers.  We're in the final legs of it, which is why I'm excited to announce that the Kickstarter to fund the first print run launches this Saturday, April 3rd, at noon EDT!

More information will be posted throughout the week, but if you would like to follow the Kickstarter page and be notified when it goes live, you can do so here.  You can also follow the hashtag #LessThanSecret on the social media platform of your choice to see our creators' updates over the next month.

We've been working on this project in relative secrecy since last summer, and it is incredible to finally be able to share it.  This has been one of the most incredible creative experiences I've ever had, and I can't wait to see what you think of it.

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.
