Let me help you pitch your Kickstarter! Launching T4C Tips for comic creators by creators with something to pitch

I’m launching a new Tech for Comics tips series of video shorts that also gives helpful experts a platform to pitch their comic book projects. The video is an example of what people can expect.

Vxd - A 40-page Black & White Conspiracy One-shot There will be signs! Exploring the connection between facts and greater truth.

I’m so happy to be able to finally spill that the featured variant cover artist is none other than colorist Chris Sotomayor. He had never illustrated a cover before. He absolutely nailed it! What a privilege to get his "rookie card" out there on a comic I wrote! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gre...

Thank you, awesome human! You are the best!

The last chance to win this first variant cover by an industry journeyman! Leave you guess in the Kickstarter update comments at www.vxdcomic.com .

Here's the last clue before the cover reveal. There is still no winner as of 9am pacific, so the slab is still in play! Hit "Notify my on launch" and then add your guess to the comments of the last update to be eligible to win.

Clue #2 posted on our Kickstarter prelaunch page. Hit "Notify me on launch" at www.vxdcomic.com to gain access to the updates section where you can enter you guess as a comment.

The prelaunch page is up for my next Kickstarter. Hit "Notify me on launch" at www.vxdcomic.com to get update details on our cover reveal contest. So excited! 🥳

Watched “Greenland” last night and quite enjoyed it. Ironically, the scene that was a reality stretch for me was near the end. They saw those birds and not a single birder among the survivors excitedly yelled out the species ID! 😂 #birder

Wait. You can intentionally walk someone without throwing a pitch?! *googles it* Since 2017, you say. Well then. 😚🎶

Charleston Chew? Frozen or nah?

Have any fellow Canadian comic creators found an insurance company willing to offer general liability insurance for a home business if you are selling into the US? I ran into a new glitch today...

Coming soon: Undead Kungfu Ghost Killer - #1 Halloween Comic Annual Splatter-tacular Martial Arts mayhem from the acclaimed creator of A TIGER's TALE & art director of Kung Fu Magazine.

My own is a novel but happy to tag Patrick @plugo.bsky.social for his comic! www.kickstarter.com/projects/plu...

You did really fantastic work on this.

Woohoo! So glad it made it to you!

Hey awesome comic creators/reviewers,

My book designer left a spot for a pull quote on the inside front cover of my new conspiracy thriller Vxd. Some "social proof" would be really helpful before I crowdfund the book. If you are interested, hit me up, and I'll pass along the link to the PDF via DM.

I may end up giving up on physical comic tiers on Kickstarter entirely.

It’s not that there aren’t workarounds. It’s just that the amount of hoop jumping may simply not make it worth the effort. *sigh*

Greg Tjosvold (@gregtjosvold) 🇨🇦 A heads up for Canadian comic creators… Chit Chats (an excellent mailing service many of us use) is scheduled to run an AMA about US Tariffs today (August 8 at 3pm ET/12 pm PST). I’ll be listening...

Google users are less likely to click on links when an AI summary appears in the results In a March 2025 analysis, Google users who encountered an AI summary were less likely to click on links to other websites than users who did not see one.

This has HUGE ramifications for advertising and independent creators. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Bwahaha! You’re not wrong!

A Journey Into The Abyss: A Science Fantasy Graphic Novel Two explorers mount a dangerous mission to the stars and awaken a malevolent deity sleeping at the edge of the universe.

Into the last hours of this campaign by a fellow Canadian. You know what to do!
