Hey all,
YES! Here’s another really quick update about the crowdfunding of my book 5500 Miles of Comics. Already over 70% funded, we decided to throw in two mid-campaign surprise perks.
Family Portrait
A digital drawing of your family. I’ll draw your family based on photos that you send me. Tell me a little bit about what you like to do and I’ll work that in too. You’ll receive a digital file that you can use to print the portrait however you like: on a canvas, mugs, tote bag, maybe a giant billboard? Dream big, I would say!
But be quick because we’re only offering TWO of these!
Fine print: This includes parents/caregivers, kids and pets, but not extended family. The drawing is for personal use only. This is an add on, only available once you bought the book. If you’ve pledged already, you should be able to add this without buying another book once you’ve logged onto the crowdfunding page.
Are you an (aspiring) illustrator or cartoonist? This one is for you:
Coaching Session
Send me some of your work and we’ll have a one hour Zoom call. I can provide feedback on the work itself or tips on how to build an audience or find clients.
With over twenty years of experience as an illustrator and cartoonist, I've illustrated anything from children’s books to calendars and greeting cards that were sold all over the Netherlands and the United States.
I write and draw short stories for Tina, one of the longest running comic magazines in the Netherlands and I’ve created cartoons that were shared by Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, 9Gag and many others.
Again, be quick, because there’s only ONE coaching session available.
Fine print: you can send me up to 10 pages of your work. This coaching session is most suitable for people looking to create autobio comics, greeting cards or cartoony illustration work.
Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions!
Please know that whether you’re pledging or not, I really appreciate that you’re here, reading my emails. I’ve never crowdfunded before, I’m not sure if I ever will again and I see every single person here on this list as someone cheering me on while I run this race. If this were a marathon, I’d be at 18 miles or 30 km’s - the hardest bit (or so I hear, I’ve never ran a marathon). Anyway, THANK YOU!!
With love,
