Site Update! – Revised Comic Pages, Upcoming Events, New Stickers!

Posted on June 21, 2023 by Tait

Hey, everyone!

Life has been pretty crazy lately. That’s nothing new, but here’s what is:

Today I’ve started overhauling the Birds of a Feather pages here on the site, replacing the old versions of the comic with the new ones that will be in the upcoming book! Here’s the newest page to be uploaded:

Pacifica, Birds of a Feather, Page 10 - Rude Awakenings 1

If you need to catch up with the earlier pages you can head over to this page and read from the beginning! If you’d like to follow the Kickstarter campaign to be notified when you can grab a physical copy of the next book please follow this link.

In other news, I recently got these new stickers of my characters Gale and Diana! We met Diana in the first Pacifica book: Finding a Path. She’s a mysterious mountain woman who grew up with Gavin and may have special abilities. Gale and her brother Zephyr are introduced in the beginning of book two: Birds of a Feather. Gale is a jay folk monk who is skilled in aerial martial arts and is initially wary of Gavin.

New Pacifica Stickers of Gale and Diana!

These new stickers will be available to purchase at local events and during the book two Kickstarter. I do not have a final date set for the campaign yet as the book still needs work before it’s finished, but you’ll hear about it in the news letter and on social media.

Speaking of local events, here’s what I’ve got planned for the upcoming months:

Pacifica: Birds of a Feather Kickstarter Launches Oct 5th!

Posted on September 30, 2022 by Tait

The Pacifica: Birds of a Feather Kickstarter will launch on Oct 5th! Follow along to get reminded on launch day!

Pacifica: Birds of a Feather is the second book in the Pacifica fantasy adventure series. It is a comic inspired by the environments and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest with fairy tale aspects and an 1800s feel. The misty redwood forests of Humboldt County have a fairy tale atmosphere to them and that feeling is something I hope to share through the comic. In a nutshell, the comic is about mountain men, monsters, and magic.

Birds of a Feather introduces two new characters: Gale & Zephyr. The two jay folk siblings happen upon an unconscious young man in the forest while traveling. Who is this young man and should they help him? Zeph and Gale have differing opinions from the start. Join them on the journey as they debate a course of action and learn more about the young human.

Although the book is a continuation of Finding a Path it is designed with new readers in mind, so you do not need to read the first volume. (But it is available should you want it.)

Pacifica is intended to be a premium comic. The book will be magazine sized (8.5”x11”), full colored, and 28 pages. The cover will be 130# stock and interior pages will be 80#. This will be a special Kickstarter edition that will contain bonus content for this run only. The expected run is 300 books and once they are gone so is the bonus content.

Thanks for reading, I look forward to sending you a copy of this newest book!
