The surveys have been sent!

The survey is where you can:

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:

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.

Cheers,

Brendan

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.

Yours, etc.,

Brendan and Kate

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?)

Love,

Brendan

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 funding goal in the first hour, and are nearly at $1,000! (Pssst tell a friend! Let’s make $1,000 happen! We’re trying not to get too caught up in the numbers, focus on the process, etc… but that’s a pretty magical big round number!) We didn’t know what to expect when we launched, but it wasn’t this, and we are over the moon!

For those of you in Portland, OR (or nearby), we’d love to see you at our monthly event Bread and Butter on February 14 (Valentine’s Day!) at 4pm at ADX (417 SE 11th Ave).

Love,

Kate and Brendan
