It is happening!
Oh boy, my Kickstarter campaign was approved. It will be launched tomorrow.
The Deacon of Darkriver comic.
I am so nervous, this year has not been easy and has been filled with self doubt but... I really, really like this comic. To not only be able to say "yeah, I self published a comic... no big" but be able to build on it and make more comics based on fairytales and eventually be able to launch my original webcomic would be... I don't know, everything? To work independently and not have to worry what country I am working from is everything I ever want.
Please, help share this campaign and let people know about the Deacon. Your support means a lot.
Upcoming project
I'm going to start a Kickstarter campaign on July 1 for my comic the Deacon of Darkriver, an old Icelandic ghost story.
This is the biggest project I've undertaken single handedly in my artistic career and my goal is to finish the comic and the extra pledge level treats and the final estimated cost before June 30th. I really hope this will get funded... there is a lot riding on this.
Here is a sneak peak of page 6
So far in Brainiacs
Brainiacs or Ofvitar is a weekly comic strip I make for the Icelandic website Nerd of the North. It follows the lives of two friends, Erna and Arnar who live in Reykjavik.
I'm going to post it here in English a week later for everyone who doesn't speak Icelandic. Of course, some of the jokes might not translate but I'll try to explain it the best I can.
The first Ofvitar comic about Charles and I's experience watching Captain America: Winter Soldier.
Second comic is about when I tried to win at rock, paper, scissor by quoting a show none of my Friends watched.
Iceland, volcanos, get it?
I grew up reading mostly Belgian and French comics like Tintin, Asterix and more. But only some of the comics were translated you are never able to read the whole series.
They are talking about Arnaldur Indridason. His books are insanely popular in Iceland.
