This ended 5 days ago but I am bad at the internet. Anyway, yayyyy we are funded.

[kjmartinet]

Alright after a bit of a wait on paper the print set is complete!

Included some close ups because the wides are all blurry and idk how to fix it cause I'm not a good photographer. Anyway

These are all 6"x9" 2 Color Risographs.

If you would like them my big cartel is at the top of my page on desktop or I will add it in the notes so the post doesn't get lost.

ehi ehi, do you want 160 pages of extremely cool nonbinary sci-fi/body horror comics? then I have an anthology for you live NOW ON KICKSTARTER

I drew a story in this and it's seriously hella good~

I also have a story in here and am so excited to see the final results!

Each story is self contained but all revolve around the same location and the spooky goings on there.

All of the artists did a great job and I absolutely love @tessereid 's beautiful cover.

hello! did you happen to have any plans to add an impera era piece to your ghost collection? all of the ones you've made are incredible and I would love to see your take on that one

I was worried some one was going to ask this 😅

I did think about it but decided not to. Because a) I wanted to do 1 per character b) there's a bunch of different ways to hang them with a set of 6 and c) set of 6(66) is funny

I went with Prequelle since when I think of Papa IV I think of red (red cassock, red track suit, red detailing on the Frater outfit) and I had also already used blue for Papa I. Also Prequelle just had a bunch of imagery built in that seemed more fun to play with (danse macabre, triumph of death, late gothic architecture, rats etc) vs Impera which I didn't really have any particular historical art or architecture top of mind that seemed like it fit (I guess maybe Otto Dix? But using Otto Dix for fun silly fan art feels kind of gross. Maybe like Julie Taymor's Titus style weird anachronistic mash up roman empire would be cool. Anyway, point being I did not have a good clear idea like I did with the other ones)

tldr; i thought about it and will maybe come back for it if i have a good idea, but at the moment no

V

[kjmartinet]

Printing round 2! Gave up on getting the sunflower to register so Papa II is a special 3 color guy. (Regular yellow overprinted with red at 30% opacity and then black)

Still working V but will have 0-IV at the Bushwick Printlab booth at the Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair at Powerhouse Arts this weekend.

Papas I II III in print!

Papa II has some registration and ink density issues and I am definitely going to reprint him but for this weekend he'll do as display copies I guess.

You can find them and me this weekend at the Cartoonist Coop table at MoCCA Fest in Manhattan , table number 94 and after that online.
