May 2023 Pacifica Update – Redwood Coast Kite Festival

Posted on May 12, 2023 by Tait

Hello, everyone!

Things have been a little hectic lately, but progress on the second Pacifica book, Birds of a Feather, is continuing along and I’m still getting out to shows where I can.

The next show you can catch me at will be the Redwood Coast Kite Festival on May 20-21, 2023 at Halvorsen Park, Eureka, CA 10am-5pm. This is a free public event that will have various activities going on including kite flying, workshops, and an artisan fair. Check out the website linked above for more info.

I have no other shows for May planned, so the next show after that will be the Redwood Acres Flea Market the first Sunday in June and I’m actively looking for other events for June through August so I’ll be sure to fill you in as I confirm appearances. (You can also check the Events page.)

For those of you new to the mailing list, welcome! Be sure to check out the website at www.pacificacomic.com and if you’re on Twitter or Instagram you can follow me there for more images and behind the scenes peeks at the comic. You can read a good chunk of the comics on the site’s Comics page. I’m excited to be sharing the beauty of Humboldt with the world and appreciate all your interest in the project!

If you’re enjoying the comic or my other content please consider visiting Patreon or Ko-fi where you’ll be able to unlock more art and bonuses for as little as $3. The support on those platforms helps me make more comics!

Thank you to everyone who makes Pacifica possible and I hope to see you all in the next update! Until then have a great day.

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!

Playing with fire isn’t a good idea, but Gale doesn’t have much choice. The jayfolk warrior attempts a risky maneuver to defeat the hellcat. Will it pay off?

First posted page of 2022! As always, I’ll be working hard to make this the best year of Pacifica yet! I’ve built up a buffer so there should be new pages at least once a month going forward.

I also realized there was a problem on the arc’s page where the last few updates were missing for some reason. That’s been fixed now so you can read from the beginning up to the current update.

If you think my comic is fire and you’d like to read more the content on Patreon and Ko-fi is several pages ahead of the public site. For just $3 on either platform you can read ahead, see behind the scenes artwork, and get other bonuses. Be sure to check them out if you can’t wait for the next update.

Enjoy, everyone and thanks for reading!

Sincerely, Tait
