Ok I'm pulling away from the comics for a second but staying in the world of art. Every year the Federal Government holds only one juried art contest. It is one of the most important and lucrative art contests an American can win. It was also one of my early introductions in collecting and appreciating art. The Million Dollar Duck is a documentary on the Federal Duck Stamp contest. Winning the duck stamp art contest is the biggest accomplishment any wildlife artist can have.
I just backed The Mighty Titan - the story about the cancer-plagued superhero - to get the latest issue and the first two I've missed. It's in its final hours so head on over if you like good art and what I'm told is a great story (I've stayed away because as many of you know I've been fighting the big C for some time now and was kind of wary of something like this...I've heard too many good things not to check it out).
It's not going to be a very big book as far as length (48 pages) but I believe he's only asking $15 for the basic book which isn't bad considering the quality/caliber of artwork going into it.
Been fighting the big C for over 10 years now - of course I'll back The Mighty Titan Thanks @Torchsong for reminding me of that project and good health to you.
I recently backed Drawing Beautiful Women: The Frank Cho Method.
Me too! I'm also in on the final hours of this pretty cool looking book that's only $5 for the physical copy of the book. Artwork looks really nice, and it looks like he put a lot of thought into the world-building of it.
"Hey Moe! Hey Dad! is the incredible story of Moe Howard and The Three Stooges as told through the eyes of a son. Paul Howard takes us on a One Hundred Year journey through the trials and tribulations of the greatest comedy team of all time and the tumultuous relationship he had with his father. Through wars, economic depression, the evolution of television and digital media, and death, The Three Stooges comedy survived and continues to thrive into the future. An epic Nine Part Mini-Series that features many of the best Three Stooges performances, as well as never seen before private footage and family photographs from the heirs of The Three Stooges. Also featuring many guest appearances from today’s popular celebrities, such as Whoopi Goldberg, Billy West and Pat Cooper. Written and produced by accomplished Producer Frank Basile, this is the complete story of Hollywood’s most famous comedy legends."
"KUNG FURY is an over-the-top action comedy written and directed by David Sandberg. The movie features: arcade-robots, dinosaurs, nazis, vikings, norse gods, mutants and a super kung fu-cop called Kung Fury, all wrapped up in an 80s style action packed adventure."
Hey guys, I accidentally posted this on the main forum, but I'm reaching out to for backing for my graphic novel on Kickstarter, Ten Thousand Gates.
It's a self-published, detailed black and white sci-fi graphic novel in the making. The culmination of over a decade of writing and design, it`s the first of six forthcoming volumes, and will consist of approximately 300 pages.
You probably have a few art instruction books in your collection and I bet you found some more useful than others. Some books talk at great length about art and can be quite interesting. Other books show the author creating amazing illustrations but don’t always give you the information you need to achieve similar results. The most helpful art instruction books don’t merely talk about art, or show you art, they teach you how to create something you could not have achieved before owning the book. Hi-Fi Color for Comics provides you with step-by-step tutorials and artwork teaching you how to color comic book illustrations from start to finish.

I'm backing this one. I had the first book, I've watched Brian's videos and we even shared a table at an event one time. He's a solid supporter of the local (Arizona) comics scene and has even pimped my crap a time or two.
If you want to learn the ins and outs of coloring comics...this is the book to show you how its done.
Hey guys! (...and gal(s)? Are there any female forum members? I remember one a looong time ago...). We only have a few days left on this so you can still get in on it. We've been able to unlock a total of four stretch goals and with your help we can get a couple more.
I believe Brian said with all of the stretch goals unlocked, it would actually double the size of the book! so get on it folks! He also created a tier for CGS listeners so you can jump on there or wherever else.
I'm not a colorer, nor do I have grand aspirations to be. But I love comics and love to see the inside of how they are made. Maybe you're like that too. Maybe this could be the gateway to a new career for you as well!

There's only 39 hours left! If you haven't supported this campaign yet then you should really consider it, and spread the word. This will be a great book on digital coloring. And if we're able to reach the final stretch goals it will add even more chapters to the manual to make it an incredibly valuable book on digital coloring.
I've been backing alot of card games over the last few months; here are the 3 that are currently running. It's not comics, but I know there are a lot of gamers that might interested.
Pleasant Dreams: A Card Game of Nightmares - this is a card game where you try to prevent nightmares from waking you up. The card art looks pretty great. Dice Hate Me's 54-Card - Rabbits - Dice Hate Me is selling collections of thier top KS card games. GeekDad highly recommended these games, and some of them look really fun. Madness- another geekdad recommendation that seems fun. I'm not sure how to describe it; I just hope it turns into Pit without the bell (I love Pit, but my wife hates it).
I thought it worth posting hoping some forum members may be interested. (And I know this is a 'Kickstarter' thread, but there are many good projects being launched on Indiegogo, too.)

This one's blatantly for a friend of mine but consider it anyhow. He writes some really funny books and this one looks just weird enough to be one of his best. For your consideration, at any rate...

I've gotten dozens of books by that fine company over many years. To show my LOVE I went for the postcard. :D
I'll be buying many more of their outstanding books.
Weapon Brown has hit it's stretch goal and we will get one giant omnibus instead of two for the same price...

Anyone that is aware of Bill Finger's story, or loves Batman, or, really, just interested in seeing a little justice should back this.
