A message from Dorian Gray... 

I have just been informed that volume 1 of my graphical biography has been sent to the printers.  How exciting, how splendid, how thoroughly captivating.  But enough about me.  Thank you to all of you for your support and confidence.  


Now we know that we will deliver you at least one of those.   The Moon is there for all. The other two you need to earn for yourself.

Sisters, we are leigon - a message from Dorian Gray

MERS. CHEVELEY: Men can be analyzed, women merely adored.

SIR ROBERT: You think science cannot grapple with the problem of women?

MRS. CHEVELEY: Science can never grapple with the irrational. That is why it has no future before it, in this world.

SIR ROBERT: And women represent the irrational?

MRS. CHEVELEY: Well-dressed women do.


And now there are 500 of us, men and women and all sexes, but sisters in nature.  Half way through the campaign and half way to being a thousand strong.  My sisters, I salute you.   May you always be entirely well dressed and thoroughly irrational -- DG


PS: now that there's enough of us to have a party, let's start some conversation  -- everyone post your favorite quotation from my so called "creator" that chap, Oscar, and say why you like it. 


All good conversation is made better by champagne. Even with my darling Hank. Also, at some point I might to do more than talk. Champagne is good then too.

A message from Dorian Gray

My Lords, Ladies, and Lovers:


We did it, or perhaps I should say, I did it, but I will admit, that since a lady gives credit where it's due, some small part of the credit goes to you. 


Stop it. It's unbecoming to fight over credit in this way.  I did it, you helped, I did it, you watched - what's the difference,  we're all friends here, and there will be cucumbers enough for everyone by the time all is said and done. 


And music. Lots of music.  That's what we're spending these bucks on. The quest for a composer begins! 


Our next stretch goal, now unveiled is to enable us to expand our already legendary cast of players.  A few more fine actors to fill out our company. Help us get there and we might even do some casting announcements before this campaign is done. 

"I love acting. It is so much more real than life"

In other news, coming as I do from a nation of shop-keepers, I realized that we had been neglecting them, poor dears.  So we are delighted to announce we are adding a RETAILER PLEDGE LEVEL.   See below! A good wholesale price on both volumes of my eponymous biography. 


Finally today, a shout out to a campaign I personally am looking forward to seeing come to life, because I don't believe anything beautiful should be kept away, it should be taken OUT OF THE BOX, which is what this team of brilliant  Italian artists are doing with this comic book about Aliens, Horror, Mongols, Monsters, Trips,  Sci-Fi, Shamans, Space, Spirituality, Spies, Tesla, Western...   Phew, that lot might even tire me out, on their best day. 


Toodles, go enjoy the sunshine this beautiful weekend,  those of you who've earned it.  I know I have. 

-- DG

“Anybody can sympathize with the sufferings of a  friend, but it requires a very fine nature, to sympathize with a friend’s success.” - Oscar Wilde

Well, in which case, we must have some very true friends.    Here's some of them below, shouting about us to the digital roof-tops.   Big thank you to all of them, as we near on our first stretch goal which will allow us to hire a brilliant composer to score our audio-drama. 

Meantime, a reminder this fine Tuesday morning, one week into our campaign, that our $75 Tier does include digital PDFs of the Graphic Novel as well as hardback copies. 

Thank you all for your continued support.   & thank you to Kickstarter for making us Featured Project of the Day in their Film section. 

best,   Arvind
