Description

TOME is an annual anthology in an oversized format showcasing world-class artists as they explore a single theme using the comic book, painting, and music mediums. And by oversized we're talking big, around 11x17" and 176 pages! That size will let you experience art and sequential storytelling in a way that would be almost impossible outside of standing in front of the original work itself.

TOME is an annual anthology in an oversized format showcasing world-class artists as they explore a single theme using the comic book, painting, and music mediums. And by oversized we're talking big, around 11x17" and 176 pages! That size will let you experience art and sequential storytelling in a way that would be almost impossible outside of standing in front of the original work itself.

[UPDATE 6/25] Because of your tremendous support today, TOME will now be upgraded to a massive 12x18"!!! Thank you!!

[UPDATE 6/27] Due to your overwhelming support, TOME will now be upgraded to include a music CD compilation!!

[UPDATE 7/11] Again, because of your overwhelming support, we'll now be producing a feature length documentary Ilm that will explore the creation of TOME and the process of art's genesis, as well as the state of the comic book and Ine art industries! The documentary will be released for free next year to everyone who has pledged here on the TOME Kickstarter!

This year's TOME will focus on the theme of VAMPIRISM. Modern popular culture has shown us all kinds of depictions of vampires, from the silly to the subdued. Featured artists in TOME will each take 3-5 pages to explore what we think is a unique and relevant take on vampirism as a whole, including the misuse of power and the objectiîcation and exploitation of others. And at the conclusion of each artist's contribution, they'll have a one-page interview conducted by another artist to continue their artistic exploration.

TOME is being put together by an incredible grouping of artists, writers, and musicians who are largely contributing their work as a collective through mutual support, art exchange and trade, and other non-înancial arrangements. Still, it's quite costly to create and print a book of this massive size and quality. At 44FLOOD, we've secured an excellent agreement for printing and have already established partial distribution.

Our goal at 44FLOOD is to get you involved through this Kickstarter campaign to help make TOME a reality. We're asking for your support through pre-ordering TOME, purchasing the oered art and prints, selecting from the special rewards oered, or even making a donation. And once a year hereafter, you can rely on TOME to again bring together artists from around the world and all walks of life to delve deep into a fresh and unusual theme.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and support!
