A Distant Soil Restoration
UPDATED 5-5-22
Our printer went bankrupt and discarded our complete inventory of negatives of the art for my entire graphic novel series, nearly 1000 pages of material. While we do have a good deal of the art, restoring the lost pages, and the loss of the negatives has cost me over $20,000 in production work. This was nothing personal, they did this to a number of major publishers. But reprinting all the books and restoring all the art will cost well over $100,000.
I am financing all future work on A DISTANT SOIL on my Patreon page. Please consider supporting! Patrons have exclusive access to work in progress, pages as completed, upcoming projects, and my blog. Original art, signed books and other perks as well! Only patrons may get autographs and original art by mail at this time.
UPDATE: The restoration has taken years and is now almost complete with over 500 pages meticulously restored and two brand new editions of the series in print, with far better production values than we ever hoped for before.
We only need a few pages now, so please do NOT send anything until you have contacted me. Some paintings are still missing: we would love to borrow them.
All donations are gratefully accepted! Anyone who donates to the restoration will be permanently listed here!
