100 Silly Superheroes

Recently, I launched my first ever Kickstarter project. It’s part of Kickstarter’s Make 100 challenge, where creators are challenged to make something limited to 100 items. In this case, I chose to illustrate 100 silly superheroes.

The idea is, at the highest level, you can name a silly superhero, and I’ll make a custom illustration in watercolor of that hero. You can also choose to voice your character saying their name or catchphrase in the super silly animated short film that I’ll make of all 100 heroes.

Oh, and they each get their own tiny silly theme song!

If you’re interested, you can check out the project here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/daspetey/100-silly-superheroes-a-make-100-project

Poképarty

Man, it looks like everyone is playing Pokemon Go. I can't remember the last time a game had this sort of universal appeal. It's kind of nuts really.

I haven't played it yet, but I did manage to fake a screenshot.
