One Week Left!

This is it- the final update before our Kickstarter campaign concludes!

With just under a week to go, we’re painfully near the 25K stretch goal.   Thanks to you guys, the campaign has already vaulted past the 20K mark.  If we can reach out and pull in enough new readers, we just might hit our free-posters target!

Thank you again to everyone who’s contributed to get us to this point- I’m continually reminded how fantastic our readership is.  We’re fortunate to have the interest of so many generous, engaged, and attentive people.  Thank you for helping us reach this far!

WEDIDIT

The month isn't half finished, and we've officially done it!  We've hit our funding goal!  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2083757038/dreamkeepers-prelude-collection
*Elated dance that should embarrass but too excited to care*
This means that the book we're all hoping for is going to be a shiny, colorful reality.  And it's thanks to you guys- thank you for your support, both in the form of donations, and for helping spread the word to prospective readers.  
What's Next?
Stretch Goal #1:  Free Posters For Everyone.
With most of the month left, achieving the first stretch goal is a distinct possibility.  If we can push the campaign up to $25k, I'll be working with donors to design a brand spankin' new Dreamkeepers poster that gets distributed to every backer.  
I say full steam ahead!  We're already more than halfway there, with nothing to lose- so whatever you guys have been doing to kick so much ass, let's keep on doin' it!  
Thanks again to everyone!
-David

Dreamkeepers Kickstarter Promo, a-la Leon!

KICKSTARTER GO!

It's official- we’ve launched the first ever Dreamkeepers Kickstarter!  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2083757038/dreamkeepers-prelude-collection

One step closer to overtaking earth.

It’s raising funds to print the Prelude book collection. Check out the project video, new art, and of course reward levels and stretch goals as far as the eye can see.

 It only lasts for one month- if we don't reach our goal in July, we won't hit it.  Kickstarters are all or nothing. So please hop over and check it out, and share the link with anyone who might have an interest!

If we pull together, I think we might just be able to make some amazing stuff!

Reader Spotlight

I’m always amazed at the sheer creativity Dreamkeepers readers exhibit-  so I figure I should start sharing the fun!

Check out the latest DK motion-comic adaptation from Darkspeeds:

Plus he’s holding auditions for voice talent in the next one.  http://darkspeeds.deviantart.com/journal/Oh-My-Peaks-Which-Voice-Type-To-Choose-377273178  (I’m behind in announcements, so I’m not sure if the auditions are still going on.)

Ever wondered what Grunn was like as a young man?  So has Kiyo- check out the mini-comic:

And polishing off our first Readers Spotlight, I’d like to present Mr. Reaverable and his music to everyone!  https://www.youtube.com/user/MrReaverable?feature=watch

If you’ve ever wished for a soundtrack to Dreamkeepers, then you need look no further.  Reaverable has crafted full scores for every graphic novel release, and more- even creating music for Prelude.  It’s rare to see someone pour so much effort into creating while expecting so little in return.  And it’s all available for free on his you tube channel!

A big thank you from us to Mr. Reaverable, for your undimmed awesomeness.

That’s it for our first Reader Spotlight- short ‘n sweet.  No idea how frequently I’ll do these, but I hope you enjoyed the first one!

Oh, the things you'll see




Since our move to more settled lodgings, we wandered about the immediate area and documented some of the finer attractions:


Post-Apocalyptic Basketball Court
After society crumbles, this is where we’ll hold the tribunals for our neighbors.



Our Own Amusement Park
It’s got Sea- it’s got Land- what more do you want?  Free admission?  YOU GOT IT!



Tiny Runway
I presume David the Gnome became a CEO, owns a private jet, and lives nearby.  If there’s another explanation, I’d like to hear it.



Tanning Toilets
But they’re so pale, all they can really do is get burned.



Caught In the Act


This one time we walked in on two bikes having sex.









The Wanderer
This cart has cut itself free from the expectations of society, and can be seen roaming the hillsides at random.
