Twokinds Licensing

I get quite a few people from time to time who come up to me to report that one of my images has been 'stolen' by someone else. Usually it's a edited page from the comic, or a recolored image from my gallery here. I just want to set the record straight, so hopefully I can avoid more of these 'reports' in the future.

My public work is hereby covered under a Creative Commons license, unless otherwise stated. You can find it here:

Creative Commons

So, what does this mean? It means, anyone is free to:

  • Share my work - You can save my work, print it out, and show it to other people. You may post it on forums, imageboards, and chatrooms. You could even zip up the entirety of my comic and distribute it as a torrent if you so felt inclined.
  • Adapt my work - This means people are free to modify my work. You may translate the comic pages into another language, recolor something from my gallery, create fan art or fiction of my characters or world, create your own comic or artwork based on my work, etc...

You are allowed to do any of this, so long as you:

  • Provide attribution - You must give me credit as the source. Do not claim my work as your own.
  • Non-commercial - You cannot sell my work, or include my work in anything for sale, unless you make specific arrangements with me.
  • Share-Alike - If you do modify my work, it should also be covered under this same license, or an equivalent license.

This license applies to all my publicly available work. It does not apply to my commercial work, such as comic books and booklets.

So why am I doing this? Because it's how I think it should be. I put out my work publicly for people to enjoy, and I don't get hung up when folks decide to add to or adapt my work in other ways. So this is my official way of proclaiming that I'm cool with that. I am not giving up all the rights to my work, but I am opening up some of it to you.

Kickstarter Going Crazy!

Wow! If you haven't checked out the Twokinds Kickstarter yet, you really should! In a little under 12 hours, pledges managed to skyrocket passed the goal line and continue going! As of right now, about 60 hours into the campaign, we've managed to achieve more than 250% of the initial goal. And there's still 28 more days to go until the fundraising ends!

So with that news, I bring you some even bigger news: I have created a new goal for the Kickstarter project. One I know you will be interested in. If the campaign total reaches $100,000 before it ends on June 9th, I will increase the update schedule for Twokinds to 2x / week. That's right, starting at the end of August, after all the other rewards are passed out to backers, you'll begin getting comics on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Twice as many pages! I will be preparing for this change by working on a backlog in the meantime. I hope we can achieve this goal. Your support can make it possible!

Twokinds Kickstarter Campaign Begins!

Twokinds Volume Two is nearing completion, but in order to print the number of books required by the printer, Twokinds needs your help! So today I am announcing the Twokinds Kickstarter Campaign! Getting a book to print requires a lot of funding, but I firmly believe you guys can make it happen. And for your trouble, there are all sorts of rewards for helping out! These rewards include signed posters, books, prints, and even a brand-new side comic exclusive to this campaign! So show your support and get away with some cool swag at the same time.

If this Kickstarter is successful, Twokinds Vol 2 will make it's debut at the San Diego Comic Con in July! I will be attending in person at the Keenspot booth to meet and greet any of you who attend. Twokinds Vol 1 will also be having a re-release, with a new second edition cover, and will be available at the con as well.

If you've never participated in a Kickstarter campaign before, you can read more about how it works on the Kickstarter page, but essentially it's a group-funding website that allows small-time guys like me actually get something out into the world thanks to awesome people like you! So check out the rewards, see if you find anything you like, and thanks for reading all of this!
