Earlier today I got word from Kickstarter that my campaign was approved. That’s right. I’m doing a Kickstarter. And I’m very excited about it. But I want your help.
Here’s the kriffin’ deal.
I’m going to be offering custom Silver Age style comic book art prints (and more!) from one of my favorite artists out there, @DGVLZB. You may not know the name but I know you’ve seen his art. He’s incredible.
The Kickstarter goes live next Thursday at Noon Eastern but you can go follow the project right now on the coming soon page.
Do me a favor and go follow the project. It will help it get noticed by the Kickstarter staff, making it more likely that it will be featured in the “Projects We Love” category.
Go to the “Coming Soon” page and click the green button.
I’ve been given permission to offer seven different 11×17 silver age style prints of his on Kickstarter. Including the official cover of the hottest not-real-but-should-be-real-comic Star Wars: Drunk Wooky #1.
There will also be covers for Ahsoka, The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Bad Batch, Book of Boba Fett, and The Clone Wars.
I’m also going to be offering t-shirts, stickers, and a bunch of other cool stuff as add-ons and stretch goal prizes.
The plan at the moment is to launch the campaign next Thursday, February 29, 2024, at Noon Eastern.
Why Am I Doing This?
Three reasons.
Well first of all… because I get asked about this art a LOT. People want it.
Since I commissioned DVGLZV to do the Drunk Wooky cover a few months back I’ve been approached by at least 2-3 dozen people about wanting to buy a print. And over the last 6 months, I’ve been asked about where to buy his other art by more than a handful of people as I shared it out on Instagram, Twitter, Etc. At the moment he does not sell physical prints.
So I figured why not make it happen myself?
Secondly, I want to use a portion of the money to redesign drunkwooky.com to make it look more modern and improve the user experience. I’d been planning on doing it myself for the last few months but have struggled to find the time. So I’m going to hire a web designer to help me with the design and transition to allow me to stay focused on what I need to be focused on.
Lastly, and most importantly, I’ve made it my mission to involve myself in more creative projects in 2024. I’ve been lucky enough to have a great day job over the last 10 years and have helped build multiple businesses with some amazing people. A few weeks back I left that job to pursue other projects. In no way is drunkwooky a full-time gig (I’m doing a handful of things not related to comics as my main income. I’m not delusional.) or will likely ever be a full-time job, but I have freed up a bit of time to make creative projects a priority.
This project is the first step to validate interest in something I plan on pursuing further this year. More on that when the time is right.

Thanks a ton for your support and I’ll have more details coming very soon.
