This could be you!

If you’ve read Dallas Voice’s print edition over the last seven years or so, you’ve certainly noticed the work of our regular illustrator, Mark Stokes. Mark draws the Sketches we publish — his latest will be out tomorrow — for what we headline Drawing Dallas. But the work he does for us isn’t all Mark does artistically. He’s also written a comic strip called Zombie Boy. And he’d like to share his creations with a wider audience.

So this week, Mark launched a Kickstarter campaign in order to publish a compilation of his first 200 strips in book form. To get the book published, he only needs about $7,000 and he’s already about $2,000 on his way. As with most Kickstarted campaigns, there are perks to pledging, from a copy and a “thank-you” (by name) printed in the acknowledgements of the book (just 10 bucks!) to original art and having yourself cartoonized as a character in Zombie Boy.

We like Mark around here for his skills and creativity, and you can become a part of it as well. Considering contributing! But hurry up — the campaign has 26 days left, and if he doesn’t raise everything he’s looking for, he gets no pledges!
