Here’s a peaceful #mossmonday to take a break from the campaign craziness. Go outside and enjoy the fall colors today. Pet some moss.

We did it!! 🥳 Ode is funded! 🎉 Indiegogo didn’t make it easy, but you all showed up and made it happen. Thank you so much to everybody who backed it, or helped spread the word, or just took the time to check it out.

Silverdale! Swing on by the Kitsap Mall this weekend to see some awesome indie creators and collectibles vendors.

A moss may be the star of the story, but Ode also has human characters, enigmatic though they may be. Check out some early concept work for the Voice (drawn by @_pppond ), and learn more about her in the short story, “Anacrusis,” on my Substack!

It’s a long way to the top, if you wanna be sentient moss. But this moss is 94% of the way there!

We have just one week left, and $140 left to successfully fund Ode! As the Brits say, it’s squeaky bum time (I’ve been watching Bake Off). 😬🍑

If you’d like to give a little extra to help us hit that goal, there are some cool add-ons you could consider picking up!

Absolutely starstruck! 🤩 Look who I ran into today! They say never meet your heroes, but this is the exception. They are every bit as lovely in person as they seem in Ode!

Have your own moss encounter:

Moss is a powerful ally against climate change!

Sphagnum moss is believed to store more carbon than any other plant through a process known as carbon sequestration, which mitigates climate change by storing CO2, slowing the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Faye Stacey ( @pondi.bsky.social ) is the creator responsible for all the art, interiors and cover, that you see in Ode! I first discovered their work through Find a Seat, a comic they wrote and illustrated.

A moss may be the star of the story, but Ode also has human characters, enigmatic though they may be. Check out some early concept work for Ohr, drawn by @pondi.bsky.social !

Being a newly sentient and mobile creature in the forest can attract some unwanted attention… 😬

🚨PSA🚨

Hopefully these workarounds do the trick, but please let me know if you continue to have issues getting to the Ode IGG page.

Launch day has arrived!

Ode is the story of a small moss plant deep in the forest that becomes sentient and goes on a spiritual journey. It’s a loving tribute to nature and a story about remembering your roots even as you grow beyond the world you know. #comics

The music for today’s short story includes this little riff that uses harmonics as a melody to create a cool polyphonic effect. The sound reminds me of twinkling stars, which ties in to the story.

Moss has been around for over 350 million years, making it the oldest land plant on Earth. In all that time, has any moss ever contemplated the nature of its existence, or appreciated the feeling of moisture in its leaves?
