fLoRiDa needs your help!
As a few of you may know, being artists or friends of artists, a lot goes into doing drawings of any kind. Doubly so for comics, if not more. As an artist, I use an array of materials from what goes into making the panels (paper and printer ink) to the materials for drawing (pencils, ink pens, and erasers) and finally the materials that make it come to life in colour (markers, crayons, pencils, gel pens)
I've been dreaming of getting this comic off the ground again, providing you with regular material, and being able to take fLoRiDa further up and out. I want to be able to take it to conventions and have even more people able to find us, or even better, to recognize us while we draw pictures and sign prints.
I need your help to make sure that I have all that I need to keep going. To bring Foxy and her friends to you each week. To share with you that little slice of life in my mind that brightens the day of so many.
Two years was a long enough wait, now I want to make sure we can reach REAL anniversaries and launch date birthdays! But I can't do it without you!
What we need & what YOU get!
Everyone who donates gets their name put on a "THANK YOU!" post at the beginning of February. Everyone. Even if its the lowest amount.
For each amount more that you donate, the coolness multiplies.
Donate a little more and you get a signed art card of your favorite character. A bit more and you find yourself actually IN the comic for that day.
Not cool enough? Bigger donors actually get the art card, the featured character, AND our never before seen, never before available pin-back buttons. Four buttons with the main characters from this season on them (Foxy, Grawal, Isi, and Cyrus)
Now, if you're one of the three with a ton of money burning a hot hole in your pocket, you get all this. All of this as well as your own personal character as a secondary/background character all throughout 2014. You could be a receptionist at a doctors office, the grocer at the farmers market, someone passing by on the street, or even all of the above! You are guaranteed at -least- four times being featured in the comic.
What this means to me:
Oh cool, we get put in a cute little comic. But wait, you said 2 year wait. What if that happens again?
That, dear friend, is what I'm trying to prevent. Each donation is both a monetary contribution to keeping the comic on the right track, but it is also a tiny "Go girl! You've got this" from the people that believe in me. It helps me keep the materials I have fresh and organized and helps me boost awareness of my comic, as well as to fund some really cool gift opportunities for the followers of my comic.
Other ways you can spread the word:
Maybe you don't have the extra green to help out. Thats ok. You're still helping!
