Hope everyone is having a good start to the new year. After completing two monthly creative challenges last year (Inktober and PODCEMBER), I’ve become inspired by Kickstarter’s Make 100 incentive to illustrate 100 Sad Fish and compile them into a limited edition book.
I’ve been doodling my Sad Fish for awhile now and many people seem to like them at the comic conventions I exhibit at, so I figured it would be fun to participate in the Make 100 challenge. After successfully running an intensive Kickstarter before (Curls), I decided this Kickstarter will be simple and made only two reward levels.
The first reward level is pledging to receive the Sad Fish book, featuring 100 different illustrated Sad Fish. Only 100 of these books will be made and they will be signed and numbered. At this level, you also receive one of the original physical Sad Fish drawings (ink on paper).
The second reward level is having me draw you, a friend, or relative as a custom Sad Fish. You will receive the original line art on paper and a colored digital avatar.

As of this blog post, we are less than a day in and 60% funded! Thanks to everyone who has pledged and if you can’t pledge (for whatever reason — no worries) please help to share and spread the love of Sad Fish. People love Sad Fish because they make people happy!
