For the kids
Hello folks, after a loooooooooge break, here’s some news. First, I want to thanks every single one of you for all the hype, the love, the interest you give to the Kids Fortress comic. It goes right into my heart. You was my first big fanbase and it give me strength to go further in my life, so thanks you so much.
I've decided to take a break in 2018 to finally never continu the comic, unfortunately. I know a lot of you love it, and just for that, I would like to continu. The thing is they is only 24 hours in a day, 7 days per weeks. I had to make a choice. A really hard choice. In 2018, I sign a contract for my very first original comic book with an European editor, Casterman Editions. (that’s a big deal for a first book!!!) I create and right the story, the univers. But guess what, it’s still with kids. And it’s about my French Canadian culture and legends. Also, I’m working on an other original comic book totally different about a yellow human gecko girl, and this one is so far my favourite thing I ever create.
When you have the chance to publish your own story you created, you take it. So that’s what I did. And I have to mention that I still work in the animation industry has a freelance, so it’s not a lot of time for many projets in the same time. So now, if you guys want to draw about Kids Fortress, continu de comic, put your twist into it, GO FOR IT! I would love to see it! Just mention my name and the link of the Tumblr page.
I will be really honest with you all, Kids Fortress miss me too. But the characters and universe you create all by your own bring you so much more joy. And, I’m somewhere else in my life has well. I hope you will understand. I've decided to follow my dream to be a comic book auteur, and I’m finally one my way to publish my first one. Hope you will like those new stories.
If you want to see more of my original art and what I’m working on, I’m posting practically every day on my instagram @vanlalonde.art Hope to see you there!
Love you ALL!
VAN
