Here’s the first bit of a 3-page poetry comic I wrote in fall of 2016, originally published in @inkbrick​ no6 - head to my patreon at the link to read the whole comic for free! Post includes a behind-the-scenes look into my writing process (starting with headlines I lifted from Mic dot Com and Buzzfield Political) and how I put the comic together.

I’ve also got more free posts in my archive over there at patreon dot com slash LaurelLynnLeake (as well as secret locked posts for my patrons :3) but since tumblr hides anything with patreon links you’ll have to head over to the source link to to explore!

Thank You

We did it, everyone! There are a few hours left in our campaign—so still time to check it out if you haven’t yet. But we’re past our initial target and our stretch goal, and we’re gonna let the ol’ promo machine cool down. 

We’ve said this before, but it’s been so beautifully affirming to see folks rally around Ink Brick and take ownership of it’s future. Running a press is hard work, but our community make it more than worth it. We couldn’t do it without you, and your help on this campaign mean we can do more for both our readers and our contributors. 

Thank you so much for walking this path with us. We’re going to finish up these awesome books, and then get to work on the next ones!

These cats’ confusion leads only to enlightenment.

T minus 5 days to fund our special issue! Hop on over to Kickstarter and own a piece of Ink Brick’s future.

Reward Tier: Keren Katz Art Print

Our Kickstarter campaign wraps up Wednesday at 2pm EST, and we still have gorgeous archival-quality giclée art prints by Keren Katz available! The prints measure 12″ x 18.5″ and are signed and numbered by the artist.

Reminder: if you’ve pledged enough to qualify for multiple reward tiers, just shoot us a note asking for the additional one(s). We’ll make the adjustment without you having to change tiers.

And if we make our stretch goal, you’ll automatically receive the America 2020 mini if you’ve pledged over $20!
