Krita 2016 Kickstarter | T-Shirt & Art Book

2016 was an incredibly hard, but and incredibly rewarding year. With our business going through tons of changes, along with the release of Flappy McFur and my Inktober Atari Propaganda book, I have never been so anxious, tired, and worn out in my entire life. It is things like this that make it worth it though.

For their 2016 Kickstarter, the Krita Foundation had a t-shirt artwork contest to determine what artwork would be included on the t-shirt Kickstarter reward tier. With the support of those who voted for my artwork, my piece was chosen for this honor. The t-shirt unfortunately won’t last too long since the artwork was applied as an iron on, but it is still great to know that there are quite a few people around around the world wearing this t-shirt. You can read more about that in my previous post.

Another reward the Krita Foundation put together was the Made With Krita art book. Featuring the artwork of individuals that use Krita. This was an open submission with limited space in the book. I didn’t miss out on this, and I submitted my “Books and Machines” piece. Just a month ago, I received the book, and it is awesome to see my work next to so many other talented artists who create their work with such an awesome piece of software.

This is a hallmark for me and my work, and is what I consider my first published work in a large organization. I am hoping that they continue to put these books together in the future, and I planning on my continued involvement in the community that surrounds Krita.
