I am thrilled that a few days ago, local author/artist Alexis Fajardo launched a campaign on the crowd funding website Kickstarter to print and publishKid Beowulf and the Rise of El Cid graphic novel and complete the Kid Beowulf trilogy. I am personally pledging to support this project since Alexis is a great storyteller with a very passionate, focused and epic vision to share and someone I have had the pleasure of working with on many occasions*. This Kickstarter campaign ends on Friday Nov 30, 2012.
I could try to explain in detail what the goals of Alexis’ Kickstarter campaign is about, but it’s way better to have the author explain himself. So watch the video pitch above and follow the link below to find out what you can get by pledging to back this excellent project.
There are always lots of interesting comic projects on Kickstarter, so why not go check out what other campaigns are happening right now too.
* Full disclosure: I was responsible for doing the digital coloring of the cover for Kid Beowulf and the Rise of El Cid as well as the watercolor rendering the opening prologue.
