FOLK Funded! Fabulous! Flabbergasting!
Dearest Day One Backers,
Thank you! Truly, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you! The outpouring of support and excitement for FOLK means the world to us.
We met our fun...
A quick update, since it's been a minute since we've sent one.
All the surveys have been completed. Yay! Thank you! If you have shipping charges, or purchased add-ons, those charges will run closer to when shipping actually happens. We'll keep you posted.
We've been working on the broader narrative and setting that ties the FOLK together, and are excited about how that is developing!
A traveling city, floating through the inky void.
A wrecked space station, salvaged, and made mobile with the engines of hundreds of junked ships, full of secrets and surprises.
A handwritten note affixed to a reinforced door with a glob of omni-paste reads "Unstable wormhole anomaly, do not open."
An overworked engineer who's definitely, absolutely, going to deal with the anomaly (eventually). In the meantime, they are quite sure that the note will prevent any further incidents.
Add on additional copies of FOLK I, FOLK II, or the risograph print.
It is critical that you fill out your surveys in order to receive your rewards!
Local Pickup in Portland, OR
If you would like to save on shipping and pick up your rewards in Portland, OR, you need to select "Local Pickup" as your country, instead of "United States of America". This should set your shipping cost to $0. Once everything is printed, we will reach out to everyone who selected Local Pickup to arrange times and locations for pickup.
Timeline
Our goal is to have everything printed and begin shipping by the end of May 2025. We will keep you updated with our progress and let you know if that estimate changes!
The Backerkit survey gremlins have completed their work and we have sent out the backer surveys to 5% of backers (which they call the smoke test). If you receive your survey in this initial batch, it would be a tremendous help to us for you to fill it out promptly, and to ask any questions you may have about it, so that we can fix any issues before sending out the rest of the surveys!
The survey is where you can:
Enter your mailing address and pay for shipping.
Change pledge levels.
Add on additional copies of FOLK I, FOLK II, or the risograph print.
If you don't receive a survey yet, don't worry! That just means you weren't part of the smoke test. We will post an announcement once the rest of the surveys are sent.
Wow! (Do I start all these updates with “wow!”? Well, that’s how I feel!) Kate and I are still so excited about all of your support!
In the next week or so, you can expect the backer survey to go out, which is where you put in your address and sort out shipping and all that.
After that, we’re in full production mode, Kate will be drawing and I’ll be writing, as we take FOLK deep into the inky void!
We’ll be checking our Backerkit communications about once a week if there are any questions, as well as sharing occasional art updates throughout the process.
All y'all's excitement about FOLK is filling us with joy! So much joy in fact, that in a reverse-Spinal-Tap-style units error, Kate may have drawn a whole bunch of FOLK that are way too big to fit into a zine! Here they are displayed at Ulna Studio at the end of Lettie Jane's Deeper Drawing class.
But don't worry, we've got our best unit-eers working on the problem, and I'm sure we will figure out how to get the FOLK spawning at zine size soon!
We are so excited to get to make more FOLK and can't wait to share them with you! While these Big FOLK are a little more terrestrial than the Travelers of the Inky Void, expect some sneak peeks of zine-sized space FOLK down the road! (Down the hyperspace tunnel?)
