Almost Real’s 4th Volume, all about Biotechnology, has come to a close!  🤖🌿🎉

We ended on an incredible three stretch goals broken (with two of those being well-deserved artist bonuses for all involved contributors!) None of this would’ve been possible without our artist’s imaginations and our backer’s support, and thanks again for helping us make Almost Real... real!

Check out the Kickstarter update here with more info, watch for backer surveys going out in mid-May, and we’ll see you soon!

We’re so close! It’s no joke today: can we hit Almost Real Vol. 4′s initial funding goal?!

Only 737 U.S. dollars left before Almost Real 4 funds…!! http://kck.st/3cTTJBo

Do NOT donate to the Almost Real Kickstarter. Tango is planning to embezzle the funds and transplant lab grown human arms onto their body

Some of the production artwork I did for this year’s volume of Almost Real: A Speculative Biology Zine. This cover critter was an interesting puzzle to work with, we wanted it to be colorful and cute while still clearly embodying the theme of biotechnology… though I admit my favorite detail is the dorky little camel spider eyes on the Foot. Our cover artist @aquiboni knocked it out of park with the finished art as well!

For even more unique combinations of animals and electronics, check out the kickstarter. It’s now over 75% funded and only a week in!
