Signing Event: Q2Q Comics USITT Ft. Lauderdale!

~

I’ll be doing a signing event at USITT Ft. Lauderdale!

Friday March 16th at 4pm in the Lobby by the Bookstore.

Prints will be available to purchase in the Bookstore, and I’ll sign essentially anything else you bring through the line.

A brief and incomplete list of unusual things that I have signed at USITT:

  1. Bag of goldfish crackers
  2. 4’x6′ Painting of Wuggles
  3. Yamaha Sound Reenforcement Handbook
  4. A Lighting Design Textbook
  5. Foam Fingers

We’re not selling anything at the table this time around, but we will have original art to view and, in the spirit of USITT, we’ll be giving out some swag.

ALSO: If you show me that you’ve backed the Q2Q Comics Vol. 2 Kickstarter, I will do a character doodle card for you!

I’ll probably do that whenever, not just at in the signing line, honestly.

And please, if you see us at the conference, don’t be afraid to come up and say hello!

Happy 4th Birthday Q2Q Comics!

~

Four years ago today I posted a couple of comics about theatre on Facebook. Four days later I’d decide to make more and call them Q2Q Comics.

Today, I’ve drawn 449 comics that have been viewed more than 50 million times. I’ve published one collection and we’re kickstarting another right now. There are books, t-shirts, and prints in every state in the US and province in Canada, and in more than a dozen countries around the world. The comics have even been set dressing on Broadway (It’s true!).

It’s bonkers, folks.

I count myself as incredibly lucky to be able to make comics and do theatre for a living. I’ve met scores of amazing people doing this. And, really, I only get to do this because of you. Thank you.

I’ll keep making comics if you all keep reading them.

Thanks!

Vol. 2 Kickstarter: 100% Funded!

~

We did it! The Q2Q Comics Vol. 2 Kickstarter is already 100% funded! 

BOOKS ARE A GO! WOOOOOOOOO!

The day 1 stats: 103% Funded at $15,502 pledged by 328 backers!

We actually hit our funding goal in 22 hours and 54 minutes, beating Vol. 1 time by an hour and 4 minutes, even though the goal for Vol. 2 was higher. It’s nuts, really. I am beyond thrilled to see the response to this! Thanks yous are in order for everyone that his pledged and shared the campaign! Thank yousss!

We’ve also done two groups of the Departmental Mystery Boxes that have already been devoured. Yes, we are going to add more, but we need to do some math to see just how many we can make. So, stay tuned for that.

If you haven’t reserved your copy of the book yet, have no fear! The campaign is running until 3/24 at 12am EST. You can reserve your copy of Vol. 2 here! And remember: Kickstarter is pledge based. You are not charged anything until the campaign ends. If you want to do something to support the campaign, but can’t pledge or think books are dumb, then please share the project with your friends, co-workers, and other groups of likeminded individuals.

And now it’s time for stretch goals. Here’s what we’re hoping to unlock over the remaining 29 days of the campaign:

Okay, so sure the 100K goal is lofty, of course, but don’t you want to try for that sweet, sweet exposure?

We raised just over $40k for Vol. 1 and I’m hoping that we can break the $50k mark for Vol. 2!

Thanks again!

The Q2Q Comics Vol. 2 Kickstarter is LIVE!

Click here to reserve your copy of Q2Q Comics Vol. 2!

The kickstarter campaign for Q2Q Comics Vol. 2 is now live!

We’re looking to raise $15,000 to do a first print run hardback featuring comics #221 through #420.

The campaign will run from 2/21/18 to 3/24/18.

The Vol. 1 campaign was fully funded in 24 hours and raised $40,383 from 1085 backers over 30 days, and we’re expecting an even better turn out for Vol. 2.

You’ll be able to get the physical book signed, doodled or plain, single or in pairs, and a digital download of the DRM-free PDF of the book as soon as that becomes available. Everyone who backs the campaign for $5 or more will also get their name in the book!

We’re also doing something super special this time around: Department Themed Mystery Boxes. You pick your department (audio, electrics, scenery, stage management, paints, etc.) and we’ll curate a mystery box for you, that could contain, but is not limited to, prints, artwork, hand made things, stuffed animals, clothing, gremlins, stationary, stickers, the true meaning of friendship, buttons, hand written notes, ya know, general loot crate-y stuff.

Liz and I have been having a lot of fun brainstorming for this reward tier and I’m super excited to be able to offer it this time.

I’ll be posting updates about the campaign here, on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr. If you want to follow more closely, become a patron on Patreon!

Thanks!
