And I am sizable mad!
I’ve been talking about 7″ Kara Quantity 2 A LOT, and accept as true with been progressively practicing launching the Kickstarter for awhile. In actuality, my work on 7″ Kara has been the inspiration within the support of both the Intro to Silly Craft sequence and the Watercolor Basics sequence, and I’m hoping they accept as true with got impressed you to are attempting watercolor and pursue your accept as true with humorous targets.
I accept as true with many of awesome tiers (pledge capabilities) for folk attracted to supporting 7″ Kara! You may perchance presumably pledge and receive pdf copies of Quantity 1 and 2 (readable wherever- telephones, pills, computer programs!), print copies of Quantity 1 and 2, accepted watercolor art and custom inked sketches, lovable wood charms! I’m moreover inserting together packs for homeschool and study room employ- relate packs, coloring pages, and even digital study room visits!
I realize some of y’all would be novel to Kickstarter, but may perchance moreover accept as true with heard of it. Kickstarter is an on-line platform that lets in folks to relieve fund projects and suggestions they’re enthusiastic in. A Kickstarter may perchance moreover moreover be held to fund a novel tabletop sport, to relieve an indie studio plot an indie video sport, to relieve musicians fund the recording and embellishing of a novel music video, to relieve carry funds and entice extra customers to tech projects, and of direction, to relieve fund humorous projects!
Silly Kickstarters are moderately varied than varied Kickstarter campaigns, let’s employ tech Kickstarter campaigns as an illustration. For most Kickstarters, most pledges are precise donations towards an plan that backers would enjoy to look for come to fruition. While there’ll seemingly be tiers that result in fulfillment, those are inclined to be the very dear tiers. Silly Kickstarters are truly extra of a preorder arrangement with the funds raised previous faculty to camouflage the printing and shipping of the book and extra materials. So with humorous Kickstarters, it is seemingly you’ll perchance presumably moreover aquire bodily rewards at a noteworthy cheaper level.
I’m Kickstarting Quantity 2 of 7″ Kara to offset the expenses of printing Quantity 2 in bulk. I’ve talked concerning the employ of Print on Query CreateSpace (owned by Amazon) to print Quantity 1 within the past, however the worth of printing Quantity 1 this style is simply too excessive to enable me to make earnings from the sales. I accept as true with moreover for my portion sold nearly every reproduction of 7″ Kara sold- and whereas that sounds charming, it truly ability that I’m paying hundreds of cash and time to desk at conventions within the hopes that I’m in a position to promote about a copies of 7″ Kara.
My targets for the 7″ Kara Quantity 2 Kickstarter are threefold:
- Elevate the funds to print Quantity 2 (and with any luck reprint Quantity 1) via a local offset printer. This would divulge the worth per quantity down very a lot and would enable me to provide a wholesale imprint to libraries, bookstores, and humorous stores.
- Provide pre-orders for Quantity 2 and orders for Quantity 1 via Kickstarter. Most conventions accept as true with canceled this year, and most of my teaching engagements accept as true with carried out the a similar, so this may perchance per chance present a noteworthy-wished source of earnings.
- Attract attention to my work via a successful Kickstarter. Everywhere in the comics community, a successful Kickstarter marketing campaign is a truly crucial hallmark of a humorous artist’s occupation.
