Cuckoo's Nest Press Newsletter #3
Hey, it’s been a while - I think I have a few new subscribers from SaskAssemble last weekend, so hello and welcome!
This is gonna be a shorter newsletter, but the main thing to report (and the reason this is later than usual) is that The Last Band On Earth Kickstarter pre-launch page is now live! Sign up to be notified when the campaign launches, October 15th! I should mention that I did put Issue 1 and Issue 2 up to read for free on my Patreon as continuous scroll pages for ease of use, so now you don’t need to download a PDF first – if you haven’t read any of the comic before, please check them out!
In other news...my Graphic Medicine Award trophy arrived, and I definitely need to show you that:
I also had time to make several new acrylic paintings:
I might put some of these up for sale, I haven’t really decided! You can always keep an eye on the shop if I ever make up my mind.
I had a few people comment that they really liked the pay phone reference images in last month’s newsletter, so I decided to try & continue that thread – here are some images of a typewriter I saw for sale at a charity shop. It was priced at only $10, so of course the next time I went it was gone (alas, I’m not really in the market for a typewriter), and I should have turned it around and gotten some pictures of the backside, but here they are – higher res versions available on my Tumblr page here.
I have some new prints in the shop – my Ghost Car illustration as an 8 x 10” print, and two Little Guys 4 x 6” mini prints. I’m letting you know about this even though you’ll also be able to get these as add-ons through the Kickstarter, if you’d prefer to wait and do that.
Lastly, I’d like to give a shoutout to another comics Kickstarter - the Dire Beasts anthology, edited by Justin Currie and featuring a stellar line-up of Canadian prairie-based artists and writers. As of this writing, there’s still a few more days to back the campaign if you want a copy!
That’s it for this edition! Here’s that link for the Last Band On Earth pre-launch, once again - my next newsletter will probably come out in time for the last quarter of the campaign, so I’ll only remind you about it via this channel one more time, haha. ;)
Thanks so much for reading, and I’ll talk to you again soon!
