SIX DAYS LEFT IN THE EPIPHANY FUNDRAISER! To drum up some interest, we visited the zoo a few days ago and tried to “viral market” it to the animals! IT DIDN’T DO A DAMN THING, THOUGH, BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT ANIMALS DON’T KNOW WHAT THE INTERNET IS.

New Epiphany page up on http://ianjay.net! I’m getting the weirdest feeling I’m repeating myself here.
ALSO, FUNDRAISER UPDATE: we’re currently at $2,198! Slowly but surely, we’re moving towards that 5K goal. Thanks to everyone who reblogged our two BIG POSTS yesterday, too!
![Okay, so HERE’S the big announcement I was talking about: We’re HALFWAY through our Epiphany Print Fundraiser, and we’ve already raised $2,133 as of the time of this writing. That’s more than we raised for last year’s fundraiser in half the time, SO HEY, WE ARE DOING AWESOME! However, we’ve still got $2,867 left to raise in the next thirteen days, so I’m going to be ESCALATING to STRONGER MEASURES in this last crucial almost-fortnight. MEASURES THAT INCLUDE:
A banner ad on FurAffinity, to appeal to the furry crowd! (If you use FA, keep an eye out for it. It’s the really maroon one.)
Project Wonderful ads, to appeal to the webcomics crowd! (Who, I’m hoping, don’t have Adblock turned on. Ahehehhhhh.)
More frequent updates on my Facebook fan page, to appeal to… family members and estranged friends from high school!
A NEW Pinterest account! Pffffttthhbbbbtttthh, psyche.
AND FINALLY, FOR ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE DONATORS AT THE FIFTEEN DOLLAR LEVEL OR ABOVE: a SECRET SURPRISE GIANT SIZE FUN-PAK GIVEAWAY!
Yes, if you donate or have already donated at least fifteen dollars to the project, we’re entering your name in a RANDOM DRAWING to win a FULL $125 donation perk package! That includes the printed and digital book, all four buttons, the candle, the tote bag, the t-shirt, an original inked page…. AND A SECRET ONE-OF-A-KIND CUSTOMIZED MYSTERY ITEM!! I really honestly am not yanking your chain with some sort of dopey gag prize, either. This is something you will want to CHERISH in an honored place in your home… maybe forever.
ONE CATCH, THOUGH: The more you donate, the better your chances are of winning. All donations up to and including the $20 level get ONE ENTRY; donations between $21 and $40 get TWO ENTRIES; donations between $41 and $80 get THREE ENTRIES; and donations between $81 and above get FOUR ENTRIES. Not to say I’m encouraging gambling here, BUUUUUT the more cash you lay down, the more chances you have to win. So yes, I guess I’m encouraging gambling. (Except without any skill involved.) (And not illegal.) (Hopefully.)Before I go, I really, really want to emphasize the exclusivity of the books and merch I’m making for this fundraiser. Once the three hundred copies I print are sold out, they’ll be unavailable indefinitely, until I can either find a publisher or an unexpected excess wad of capital to re-print them with. The votive candles, the tote bags, the t-shirts— I’m producing this merch at very small quantities, without much intent of reprinting it unless the demand is SUPER high. Now will most likely be the only time you can get this stuff, so be sure to donate before time runs out!http://igg.me/at/epiphany-printhttp://igg.me/at/epiphany-printhttp://igg.me/at/epiphany-print

I first began reading Epiphany late 2009.
At the time I was a deviantArt-obsessed art tournament freak. One of the biggest ones was finishing up, and I was always trawling the comments of the sporadic ‘main timeline’ comics posted by the tourney creator for new work to look at. My favorite character during that particular competition was ‘Chimbley Sweep’- a sassy-mouthed ten year old constantly tracking dust and grime everywhere, he won the hearts of many.
He’d been eliminated from the game some rounds before, but the creator of Chimbley Sweep still sometimes posted comments on the entries, at that time under the name of ‘ConcentrationMoon’. He seemed pretty clever, engaging, and an all around cool dude.
“If you really like the comic work I did for the tournament,” I remember him posting one day, “check out this other, larger webcomic project I’m working on!” He was publishing it under his real name, Ian Jay.
My roommate and bestest boyfriend TD Ward wrote this big article thing about Epiphany. This isn’t the announcement I was talking about earlier either, but please, please read it, because it’s really worth it.
