Corporations / Marketing

Kickstarter. Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.

Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline. If the project succeeds in reaching its funding goal all backers' credit cards are charged when time expires. If the project falls short no one is charged.

Since our launch in April 2009, more than 24,000 creative projects have been successfully funded by awesome people from around the world.

In this blogpost I want to introduce you to two of them.



The first one would be: Goblins Drool, Fairies Rules! It is a card game of rhyme and reason for kids of all ages. It got 1,186 backers and 'earned $27,127 -> funding successful.



The second one would be: Mythomania, Season 2.
Mythomania is a show about cartoonist by cartoonists.

I've always been frustrated with the, well, cartoony way cartoonists have been portrayed in television and film. Outside of "Crumb" and "American Splendor," it's rare to encounter a depiction of someone obsessed with the comic artform that has any semblance of verisimilitude. The main problem, of course, is that most of those films and shows were not created by cartoonists. Mythomania is a show about cartoonists by a cartoonist.

  1. "Goblins Drool, Fairies Rules!" ist aber auch wirklich ein tolles Projekt.
    Ich musste so lachen, als du mir davon erzählt hast. ^^
