What is this project all about?

We only leave a trace in this world through art. The microscopic observation of a life in all its facets in this autobiographical story creates something universal that may inspire others. I chose the form of a graphic novel as a means of expression.

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

It is a book, an insight for all those, who have wanted to live their dreams and encountered their life by default and detour. Since this is a graphic novel, the target audience will be very broad. Everyone past the age of 18 who has read a comic or has been interested in movies or the cruel wide world will want to have a piece of this.

Why would you support this project?

Art is the voice of our time and we have the duty to make it heard and seen. I am not talking about elitist art - the kind where you are not supposed to laugh, otherwise it's not seen as art -, but about the freeing, emotional, even pop-cultural art (without being shallow of course). So, you are supporting a tendency for profound levity. You may laugh and cry, it loosens you up and brings you closer to yourself. And you are part of something as it is being created.

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

The book will become reality. Your funds will flow 100% into the production of the book. The effort for such an enterprise is tremendous, as you may imagine and I am not working at DC or Marvel, they don't know what to do with me. I am pretty cool, but I am no superhero.
