NEW LGBTQ PROJECT ALERT! AND IT NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Wouldn't it be great to have an animated series with a Drag Queen superhero? That also tackles subjects such as sexuality and gender? That is also funny? Here is your chance to actually MAKE that happen instead of waiting for big studios to do it!
Krisa Gonna Super Drag is originally a monthly series of comic strips created by Kris Barz Mendonça for the Matthew Shepard Foundation. Krisa Gonna is Kris' drag alter ego in which he performs and posts videos online talking about multiple subjects.(link to read the strips and watch her videos in the end).
This fundraiser has 2 possible goals and the number of episodes produced will depend on which goal is achieved. If we reach $1300, we'll have 4 episodes of 30 to 90 seconds each. If we get to $2250, we'll have enough money to produce 8 episodes30 to 90 seconds each. If we go way above this, we can expand the project to either more short episodes for a 2nd season or longer 8 episodes. For every amount donated you will get a reward*, check these out!
- $1 to $10 Your name credited at the end of the episode!
- $20 Previous reward + shout out by Krisa Gonna on the episode intro!
- $50 Previous rewards + A cartoon-style portrait of you illustrated by me!
- $75 Previous rewards + A Nameoscope podcast episode made with your name!
- $100 Previous rewards + You get to voice over a one-time-appearance character!
- $150 Previous rewards + the character you voice over character will look like you!
By donating, you will also support non-white LGBTQ/allies artists and businesses involved in the production.
The animated series will DEBUT on Oct 11th 2020, National Coming Out Day on my Youtube channel & episodes will come out monthly at https://tinyurl.com/y7gc3z44
Half of everything raised after our second goal ($2300) goes to LGBTQ non-profit The Dru Project. HELP THIS PROJECT HAPPEN AND DONATE ANY AMOUNT at https://www.facebook.com/donate/1440314462827277

Hey everyone! After debuting my Out & About graphic novel at Dink Comic & Art Expo earlier this month, it's finally available for purchase at Lulu.com! WKND is a 50-page-long story featuring all my characters, has a hard cover and is the first of three volumes (named Fri, Sat and Sun). It's only $10! Thank you everyone who helped me be able to finally finish it. I've been working on this project since 2014, mostly with comics strips but this story was the idea that started everything back then. Please support my project bringing LGBTQ representation to comics by getting a copy! By doing so, you also help my project keep going, I still have the two remaining volumes to finish. Lulu has a 15% discount code valid only TODAY, May 2nd (code: ONEFIVE), so get one now! And let me know what you think (hopefully with a review on the website!
