⚡We’re entering the final 48 hours of Greek Gods & Heroes! ⚡ This mythic journey has been incredible so far, and I’m so grateful for everyone who’s pledged, shared, and cheered this project on.
We fully funded in the first hour, and thanks to your incredible support, we’ve now passed $85,000—an amazing accomplishment! I’m beyond grateful to everyone who’s helped bring this dream to life. If we can cross the $100,000 mark I'll invest profits into a brand new, interactive website to bring Greek Gods and Heroes into the digital realm, making these myths accessible to all!
Along the way, we’ve unlocked a treasure trove of stretch goals—including gold foil on the book cover and slipcase, an upgraded magnetic box, edge paper spray art, and beautiful new endpaper illustrations featuring a Greek god family tree and a Greek monsters bestiary. All of these premium upgrades are included for every backer!
If you’ve been waiting to jump in—or thinking about upgrading your pledge—now’s the time. Once the clock runs out, the Kickstarter-exclusive pricing disappears.
Even if you’ve already pledged, you can still help:
1.) Share the link with a mythology or art-loving friend
2.) Post on social media or tag someone who loves epic art and timeless stories
Let’s finish strong and bring these ancient heroes to life for a new generation.
In Myth and Magic,

⚡ The Gods’ Bloodlines Revealed! ⚡
We just soared past $80K, and with it, the divine family tree has been unlocked! Greek Gods and Heroes will now feature a stunning two-page endpaper spread, mapping out the Titans, Olympians, and legendary demigods in one epic mythic web. This beautifully illustrated genealogy map will make it easier than ever to follow the tangled legacies of ancient myth the moment you open the book.
⚡ One Final Mythic Quest – The $100K WEBSITE Stretch Goal! ⚡
The legends don’t have to end on the page. If we reach $100K, I will use the profits to hire a talented web designer to create an interactive digital companion to Greek Gods & Heroes!
This won’t be just a website—it will be a living mythic archive, where legends unfold dynamically, hidden details emerge, and you can explore the gods, monsters, and heroes in a way books never could.
Backers will get first access to the platform, featuring exclusive content, interactive storytelling, and behind-the-scenes insights as I begin crafting the next great project: The Trojan War Cycle.
⚡This is our chance to bring Greek mythology to life for a whole new audience—and it starts with you. Let’s make history together! ⚡
We still have 5 days left! So if you know any folks who are passionate about mythology, fantasy art, and cinematic, immersive art books, please share this Kickstarter project with them. Your continued support and passion for these myths and this project is absolutely legendary, and I couldn't feel more blessed and grateful to have you all sharing this ride with me.
Thank you for everything.

⚡ Echidna Unleashes Her Beasts! ⚡
We just hit $70K, and with it, the Mother of Monsters has been unleashed! This means Greek Gods and Heroes will now feature a stunning two-page endpaper spread—a bestiary of mythic terrors, from multi-headed hounds to winged horrors, coiled serpents, and fire-breathing chimeras. Each beast hand-illustrated in all its monstrous glory, waiting to greet you the moment you open the book.
Echidna’s brood is stirring… and I can’t wait to reveal the full artwork soon!
⚡ The Final Stretch Goal Approaches! ⚡
Next up at $80K—the Primordials, Gods, and Demigods Family Tree, a gorgeous two-page endpaper spread mapping out the divine lineage of Greek mythology! From the chaos-born Primordials to the mighty Olympians and legendary heroes, this will be a visual feast of connections, power, and mythic legacy.
⚡ALSO:⚡ I've just discovered another really cool Greek myth crowdfunding project that is currently live over on Backerkit- "Hercules and the 12 Labors" the card game. Mathue Ryan and his board game company "Envy Born Games," are doing some fun stuff over there. The art style and color palette is awesome! check it out here:
⚡Thank you again everyone!!⚡
With every unlocked milestone, this project transforms into something even more legendary. Your support isn’t just bringing a book to life—it’s forging a mythic legacy. I’m beyond grateful to have you on this journey!

⚡ A Mythic Chest for the Ages! ⚡
We just hit $60K!!! Woohoo!! -unlocking a high-quality magnetic box upgrade—and I couldn’t be more thrilled! This isn’t just packaging; it’s the kind of detail that elevates Greek Gods and Heroes into a true collector’s artifact. Lush artwork wrapping around the box, gold foil gleaming like divine treasure, and a satisfying magnetic clasp—this will make every copy feel like it came straight from the vaults of Olympus. (Art and design TBD)
And we’re not stopping here:
⚡ $70K – Greek Myth Monster Bestiary 2-page spread ENDPAPER illustration
⚡ $80K – Primordials, Gods, and Demigods Family Tree 2-page spread ENDPAPER illustration
Watching this project take shape with each milestone is surreal, and I can’t thank you enough for making this possible. You’re not just backing a book—you’re bringing a legend to life.

⚡ Paper Edges Steeped in Myth! ⚡
We just hit $50K, unlockingpaper edge spray—and I couldn’t be more excited! This is the kind of detail that transforms Greek Gods and Heroes from a book into a relic. A touch of color along the edges, like the gilded pages of an ancient tome, will make every copy feel like something plucked straight from myth itself.
Right now, I’m exploring two ideas for the design: bringing the Olympians into the artwork (though the width might be too thin for that much detail), or making the edges feel like aged parchment scrolls, adding that ancient, timeworn feel. Either way, you know I’m going to make it shine—this is going to be gorgeous.
There's still more ahead:
⚡ $60K – Upgrade to high quality magnetic box (*Art and Design TBD*)
⚡ $70K+ – TBD! Open to ideas—let me know what you'd love to see
This project started as a dream, but with your support, it’s becoming something truly legendary. Seeing it take shape with each milestone is surreal, and I couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for believing in this vision—we’re building something timeless together.
In ✨Myth and Magic,✨
