Driftwood Crowdfunding Campaign
If you like epic comics and attractive characters with big noses, but feel frustrated with the lack of Goldenbird updates, check out my sister Tinet Elmgren’s comic Driftwood. It’s a young woman’s coming-of-age story, a proletarian Bildungsroman, and an anarcho-socialist fantasy world all rolled into one. Nautical romance, martial arts action and psychological family drama! Tinet made a comic that she would have wanted to read as a teenager, which, I can assure you from my own experience, is the best way of making a comic that also adults can enjoy. (At least if you haven’t forgotten how terrible it was to be a teenager…)
Right now, Driftwood is only available online, or in a printed Swedish-language edition (Drivgods – här finns en lista på köpställen). The pros with a printed edition are (in my opinion) readability (some people just prefer browsing physical pages) and collectability (is that even a word? A printed book is pretty :3). There are many more pros, for example, you can get a cool t-shirt and other stuff if you contribute to the crowdfunding! With collective efforts, we can make it happen.
Go to indiegogo.com to check out the options ranging from 2€ for a PDF of Flotsam and Jetsam, with all the extras and then some, to 150€ for an original page of your choice (first come, first serve).
