FINAL WEEK!
about 5 years ago – Sat, Apr 20, 2019 at 03:49:22 PM

We are 76% percent funded with just 8 days to go. We are so grateful to everyone who has been sharing the project to help us get across the finish line.

Our goal is to have the book ready for the holidays, so if you know anyone who would like to give the gift of magic and unicorns please spread the word. We are almost across the finish line, but time is running out! 

KICKSTARTER BIGGER THAN DC?

This may need myth-busting, but someone on a podcast we spoke on said that Kickstarter essentially 'published' so many comic books and graphic novels that it was actually the second biggest comic publisher on the planet -- bigger than DC comics (publisher of Batman and Superman). To that end we wanted to share with you a great title that just launched you may want to check out:

SCURRY

This such a great series by the incredibly talented Mac Smith. My kids love books 1 & 2 and you can now get Book 3 which finishes out the trilogy. World class art, incredible story, you and your family will love this book.

ISLE OF ELSI

A 144-page, hardback collection of lighthearted fantasy adventure comics for kids, with dragons, wizards and lots of silly wordplay!

Happy National Unicorn Day!
about 5 years ago – Thu, Apr 11, 2019 at 05:49:04 PM

Today is National Unicorn Day -- and we are just 30% away from reaching our goal. Thank you so much for all your support. 

Only 15 days left: The Unikorn campaign ends April 24 2019 12:00 PM PDT / 3 PM EST.   Please continue to share our page, tweet or instagram us, to spread the word!

NEW REWARD TIERS

By request, we have added two reward tiers -- first Unikorn Reader, a book only reward tier in celebration of National Unicorn Day.  By stripping away the digital download, wallpapers and extra goodies, we are able to offer our lowest price.


We are also adding a smaller, but no less mighty, version of our Unikorn gift box. Think of these semi-blind boxes as those great mystery boxes you get at comic conventions. Some things you will know, others will be a surprise! If you order yours now you will get it for the holidays!


BEHIND-THE-SCENES

People often wonder about the graphic novel production process so we wanted to share some of the beautiful art from Rafael Loureiro, our amazing illustrator.


Creating this book has been a personal and passionate project and we cannot wait to share it will all of you. 

We so appreciate your continued support, thank you so much!

Counting our Blessings!

Hello to all our backers. We are at 74% funded a little over halfway through our campaign and are so grateful to everyone who has been spreading the word. 

SNEAK PEEK OF UNICORN

We wanted to give everyone a sneak peek of Unikorn: The Graphic Novel. Click the image above or the link below for a 12-page PDF preview of the book! This includes the opening first three pages of the book and a few excerpts from later moments too.  A bit like a movie trailer.

COUNTING OUR BLESSINGS

Many people know a group of geese is called a 'flock', a group of crows is a 'murder'  -- but did you know a group of unicorns is called a 'blessing'?  Very appropriate considering one of the best parts of our introductory experience here on Kickstarter has not just been our amazing backers, but the community of other creators. This group of writers and artists are all bringing specific, unique, not-to-be-found-anywhere-else stories to the page right here on Kickstarter.

TUSKERS

Tuskers is about a herd of African elephants that must fight back against a vicious poaching militia. A thrilling and emotional story that brings awareness to the devastating poaching crisis that is happening in many African countries right now. This campaign ENDS TODAY so don't miss out!

IMAGINARIUM

Verity plunges into a quest to rescue her father from a deceptively peaceful fantasy world. Can she unravel the mysteries surrounding them before it's too late? Set in a vaguely post-WWI "real" world and a medieval-inspired fantasy land, Imaginarium is a colorful, all-ages journey that explores the relationship between truth, happiness, and reality.  http://kck.st/2TNvoS9
 

ANIMAL LOGIC COMIC TREASURY

A collection of watercolor comics by illustrator Janie Stapleton. http://kck.st/2FKpX1j

We will have some other great things to share with all of you as we head into the back half of our campaign. Thank you so much for the continued support.
