KinderGarten : A collection of creepy stories by Shawn Coss

182% Funded to make this a reality...because of you!
over 9 years ago – Thu, Oct 06, 2016 at 11:34:59 PM

 What can I say? I really have the most amazing fans (and hopefully some new ones!) that allow me to create projects that mean so much to me. This was my first ever kickstarter project, and with the stresses of canceled pledges, facebook limiting my reach, and dealing with doubts of it becoming a reality, I would do it all over again. 

I've learned a lot from these past 35 days and I hope I am able to give you something worth backing. I feel it is. This book is a culmination of 2 years of fears and story writing all crammed into one book.

Thank you all, and now the next part of the stress is to begin with surveys to be sent out and getting production started. I'll be posting plenty more updates to keep you guys in the loop. 

Winners of the Lucy Gallery will be announced this week or next once everything is processed. Sometimes backers CC's get declined and the actual funding income becomes much lower so I want to make sure the funds are still there to expand the book!

Live Hangout Oct 4th!

With only 2/3 days left, I wanted to invite everyone to hangout on tuesday 1145 pm eastern time to chat and answer any questions about the book/shipping/extra and show some of the original art and other randomness that typically happens on my live hangouts.

It'll be on facebook live on my fan page: http://www.facebook.com/shawncossartrocities

For all of you who've backed the book, THANK YOU! We're almost there! See you Tuesday!

The DreamCatcher

4 DAYS LEFT!?

 We're almost there! Only a couple more days left of the campaign and it's been surreal. Thank you all for sharing and spreading the word. We still have a couple more days to push for that second stretch goal and unlock the gold foil cover version!

We blew past the first stretch goal and I wanted to show you the art for the bonus story, The Dream Catcher. I can't wait for you guys to read it!

Final Stretch / BUTTons!

 Final Stretch!

 We're down to 6 days. 6 days! This past month has been just chaos and in the best way possible. I've never felt better about my art career than now and seeing how many support my work. I think you guys are gonna love the book. And if not, you can use it in a book burning riot that's bound to happen.

Buttons!?

 This would've been a nice stretch goal unlock but now it's just a...normal...unlock? Anyway. For all backers $60 and up, you'll get both cover variation 2x3 inch buttons along with whatever reward package you pledged for. I've been searching for a week now to find the best company to do them and have finally found em! And wanted to stress, the buttons are KS exclusive only. So if you're into em, or need one to keep your baby's diaper on, this is the only way!

In Ending

Again. I can't thank you all enough. It's probably getting old or annoying but thank you guys. If I wasn't afraid of half of you chopping me up and eating me, I'd give you all hugs!

THANK YOU Video and Stretch Goal 1!

Thank you!

Wow, what a crazy few hours. The exact moment the KS funded I got a phone call for a family emergency. It was a crazy mix of emotions but we're back on track again. Here's a very quick video thanks. 

Stretch Goal 1

 If we can hit the 30k goal I'll be adding a spot varnish to the cover of the book to give it some extra creepiness to it. I'll also be adding another story, The Dream Catcher, bringing the total stories to 12. The book will also be expanded to include the Lost Lucy Gallery which consists of fan submitted versions of Lucy as well as artist I look up to such as StanDarkArt , Dave Correia, Jaime Koala, and some possibly some more artist!

Again, thank you all so so so much for making this a reality. I have some more ideas planned for this book and another. Let's keep spreading the creepiness.
