THE LAST SEVEN DAYS!

8/13/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
Well, we're finally here.  Seven days left.  It's been a long campaign, but we're now in the homestretch.

We still have some ground to cover, but the last week of a Kickstarter campaign typically heralds a large influx of backers.  With us having raised over 2/3 of the funds (a landmark that typically indicates a 99% likelihood of successfully funding), we believe this final boost will be even more significant.

We're not going to solely rely on Kickstarter's algorithm, however.  Our team plans to fight to the last moment to get this book in as many people's hands as possible.  With 19 stories and 196 pages of some of the best comics we've ever had the pleasure of publishing, we are heavily invested in getting Universal Flaws of Robotics over the finish line.

Many of you have already backed the project (and those of you who haven't had the chance yet can do so here), so thanks for your support!  We hope you will consider some of the add-ons we have available, such as our Robot Sticker Pack, our T-shirts, or our artist commissions; but even if you can't or don't wish to expand your pledge, there are ways you can help us get the word out to even more backers.

The easiest way is through social media.  If you see posts using the tag #UFRComic, please consider signal-boosting them however you can!  We also have our Coloring Page Challenge, which is a fun way to contribute for free.  We've already started receiving some excellent entries, and we're excited to receive more.

Seven more days, and it'll all be over.  Let's make it happen.

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

UNIVERSAL FLAWS OF ROBOTICS: Kickstarter Launches on July 14th!

7/7/2024

0 Comments

 
IT'S KICKSTARTER TIME, BABY!

It is my pleasure to announce that CanonWrite Productions has a new anthology ready to go, and it's time to get the word out. Get ready, guys, because this is a BIG one.
Picture
The smell of iron emanates from blood, and humanity has always tried to purge it. We have fought, we have created, and we have seen ourselves in our creation, a hazy mirror reflecting what we choose to ignore. In an iron face, we see the best and worst of mankind: the search for connection, the kindness, the grace ... but also cold detachment, cruelty, and love distorted through metallic shine. For years we have dreamed of the final version of this mirror, the ultimate simulacrum of humanity: we have dreamed of robots. 

Universal Flaws of Robotics is a comics anthology collecting 19 stories all about automata. Our amazing team of creators have spun electric dreams of romance, adventure, horror, humor, and more. Dive in, and discover that no two robots are built quite the same.



The project officially launches on Sunday, July 14th.  To follow the project ahead of time, please visit our landing page here: https://tinyurl.com/ufrcomic

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

We are challenging people to color this page (which you can download here) and post it on Facebook, Instagram, and/or Twitter with the hashtags #WhatTheGnomesKnow and #gnomecomics, and with a link to the Kickstarter (tinyURL.com/gnomecomics).

After the Kickstarter wraps up on
December 7th at 7:07 pm ET, we'll scour social media for everyone that took the challenge and randomly select one lucky winner to receive an original digital illustration!
