So I've gone on about the awesome creators I've managed to convince to contribute to Concrete Arcanum, and while I'm extremely proud of the crew I've assembled, I'm probably most excited to have Russell Nohelty onboard. He contributed the story, Moan, illustrated by John Edingfield II.
It's about a couple who break down into an argument in spite of there being an intruder in their house. Like much of Russell's work it's very silly on it's surface but becomes much more layered as it progresses. If you like stuff that manages to be silly and spooky, but also manages to contain real depth, I highly recommend you check out his latest Kickstarter, the finale of his series Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter!
A psychological mind screw, Ichabod Jones is about a mental patient that escapes from an asylum and becomes a monster hunter during the Apocalypse, but he doesn't know if he's killing monsters, humans, or it's all in his head the whole time. Russell draws upon his own experience with mental illness deliver a story about a wounded person finding his place in a broken world.
CLICK HERE to check it out! The Kickstarter is on it's last day too, so don't delay!
Speaking of last chances, there's only 6 stickers left for folks who back Concrete Arcanum for a physical book!
And we're only 7% away from being half funded, so chances to get the 50% bonus bundle of comics, (as well as all the other bundles to follow) are running out!
CLICK HERE to go to the Kickstarter Page and lock yourself up that awesome book and sticker combo!
Tomorrow we're going to take a look at Christopher Brimmage, another awesome creator I've had the good fortune to attract. He also has a pretty sweet deal that I think you're going to like.
Till next then, be good!
But not too good 😉

You’re not going to believe this…

This is crazy!
Week one is done, the Early Bird bonus bundle offer is over, 165 backers have thrown their support behind Concrete Arcanum…
AND YET I STILL HAVE STICKERS LEFT OVER!
I couldn’t believe it either, but I counted it up yesterday and I still have TEN STICKERS LEFT for anyone who backs for a physical book or who upgrades their pledge.
So if you thought you missed your window for the first 100 physical backers sticker, you still have a chance!
And you’re still in time for the 50% milestone bonus bundle for everyone who backs before we reach the halfway point.
Life rarely affords us second chances, but here we are!
Carpe diem!
More soon!
Till next time, be good!
But not too good 😉

Mandrill P.I. Crossover!

A very special thanks to everyone who showed up and pledged the first week out! We have a good foundation upon which to build. It’s onward and upwards from here!
The Early Bird comics bundle may be done with, but that was hardly the only one!
Every one who backs before we hit 50% funded will get this sick bundle of comics added to their reward!
The sooner you back, the more bonus comics you’ll get as we pass our 75% and 100% milestones, so if you combine that with a reward tier like The Creator Compendium or Nathanthology, you could seriously get a years worth of comics for pennies per book. Pretty savvy if I do say so myself.
Speaking of sweet deals, we're joining forces with fellow comic creator Christopher Brimmage to bring you a limited-edition crossover print.
Chris has a story in CONCRETE ARCANUM called Closure Inc about a ghost who runs a business "exterminating" other ghosts by helping them finish their unfinished business (whether they want to or not...). He is also the creator of MANDRILL P.I., a noir urban fantasy set in a cartoon world--kinda like Hellboy meets Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Together, we're offering this exclusive print by Carlos Trigo depicting MANDRILL P.I. investigating an occult mystery alongside Barnaby MacGregor, the protagonist of Closure Inc. If you’re terrified of clown demons, then look away now!
Physical tier backers of both campaigns will receive a physical copy of the print, and digital backers will receive a hi-res digital version.
All you have to do to secure your print is:
1) Headon over to the MANDRILL P.I. page
2) Pledge at the level you prefer
3) Return to the CONCRETE ARCANUM Page
4) Leave a comment saying what you love about the CONCRETE ARCANUM campaign, using the hashtag #ConcreteMandrill at the end of your comment
There are a lot of sick week one freebies that are still on the table, and I don't want anyone to miss out!
So HERE'S THE LINK to the Kickstarter.
What? I like giving out freebies!
More soon!
Till next time, be good!
