Who We Are:
Duality: What We Become is a coming of age story about four friends who all wake up one day after having the same dream, realise they have been granted amazing gifts. But what will they become?
The book is written by R. Glenn Atkinson and drawn by Warren Muzak. We also have multiple guest artists, including local up and coming artist Moya Ferrigno, Missy Hamilton from Miramichi, Carmen Cameron from Halifax, Moncton's own Veronick Roy, Andre Boulard, David Coates and Kraig Nicol. John Gannon from Dayton, Ohio and Anthony Pugh from Brooklyn, New York! Special guest Matt Mehana of the band I Set My Friends On Fire will also be contributing some guest art for the finished product! Some of the guest art will be shared at the launch of the campaign, some will be released periodically during the campaign and some will be saved until the release of the book!
It is loosely based off of a story that I wrote in high school that really stuck with me and I felt needed to be perfected and shared!
This campaign would make a world of difference for us to get this book out to be shared with the public. Self funding this project is just not an option at this time and I would hate to see that hold back something that we are passionate about.
Our main goal is to put out a story that we love and that we feel you will love as well.
