SupportHi! I'm David, I run Vivid Publishing and create the Dreamkeepers graphic novel saga with Liz. Together we have empirically too much fun.

It's a Major Award!
https://youtu.be/Yzht2_41caU?t=3m57s
We faced off against peerless competition- Boneitis, Lackadaisy, Always Gray in Winter, Teagan Gavet-
But when the Vivid readership goes on the warpath, they can move mountains. You've brought this campaign to overwhelming victory.
Thank you, and well done.
The Dreamkeepers series is officially an Ursa Major Award winner in not just one, but THREE categories:
Best Graphic Story (Graphic novel saga)
Best Novel (The Wayward Astronomer)
and Best Published Illustration (Wayward Astronomer cover art)
http://ursamajorawards.org/
Thank you again to the elite corps of readers who executed this campaign, and thank you to our honorable competition for allowing us to compete with truly great work.
This year is off to an exciting start. Volume 5 unleashed on Patreon, a salvo of Award winning- and soon, Skirmish games will be comin' in hot.
More victories and more fun to come.

TODAY: Chat 'n Sketch 6
Kicking off at 4pm EST, right here: https://picarto.tv/dreamkeepers
I'll be drawing backer requests- as many as I can get through, while a host of stunning physically beautiful guests come through to chat. Some Vivid favorites, as well as the intrepid test players of Faction War, here to recount their harrowing experience.
Swing by for the chattin' and the sketchin'.
Also! Quick news hit-list.
The Skirmish hard-copy proofs have shipped! They're finally on the way.
Figurines are being cast.
We're slated to be guests on the THOUGHTCOPS podcast soon.
CouchCon is still on- date to be announced, but it'll coincide with the stunning worldwide release of False Start.
Speaking of stunning, I'm breaking my embargo on outrageous dong drawings, and embarking on a tag-team project with Boneitis himself, to ultimately destroy the reputation of comedian Asterios with his request for a "DEPRAVED" daki body pillow.
Dick drawings, online conventions, serious business manufacturing stuff, and a day of sketching. Shaping up to be a fun spring!

I've never seen Patreon growth like this before- it's soaring. What's going on?
Record numbers of backers joined the Dreamkeepers phalanx this month, and attained the Full Time production milestone.
Thank you! This will have a massive impact for Dreamkeepers.
We've managed our best in the past- there have been times where I'd be running 2 miles to and from work in the sleet, to make ends meet. I could regale you with tales of woe, misfortune, and occasional privation, but those things don't matter. I'd rather share comics- suffice to say that scarcity and its management has been the fabric of my experience since I was young, and I know it's the same for many of us.
Going from having too little to having enough is a humbling relief. Now instead of focusing on managing scarcity, I can focus on creating more and better work.
Everyone thank a backer! With their support weekly Prelude updates are secured for all of April, plus a Chat 'n Sketch stream. (Date to be announced. )
For new recruits and veterans alike, welcome to the core of the readership. I'm excited to start sharing Volume 5 pages with you on April 4th.
Thank you for your support in taking Dreamkeepers to new heights. We're going to see some incredible things together.
Best regards,
-David

Here's a crazy thought:
When you see #StarWars merchandise in stores, it'll make you think of #Dreamkeepers and other independent stories you love.
And take note if Star Wares doesn't make you think of Dreamkeepers, either phenomenon would be interesting. Watch for it!

Know someone unhappy with #StarWars #Episode8? Invite them to a new series. And if you know someone that loved #TheLastJedi, send 'em this so they have more content to enjoy.
