The Locksmith Graphic Novel on kickstarter

[TheLocksmith]

Just wanted to alert everyone to a new project on kickstarter: The Locksmith. A neo-noir sci-fi thriller. We are 5 days into the campaign and are at 25% of our goal. Artwork by Eagle-award winning artist, Silvio Db. Written and lettered by yours truly: Terrance Grace.

We've had a nice surge out of the gate: First day kickstarter staff pick. We've got a long way to go still, so would appreciate anyone who is interested to share the link. I would also be happy to answer any questions.

Thanks... Terrance

Today I'm feeling like the King of Sparta. I've got an army of 100 just 8 days into the campaign. I thank you all for being the first line of backers. You've established The Locksmith. I just did two interviews that will be hitting the blogosphere, shortly and I was even contacted by a production company interested in seeing how we do on kickstarter -- they love the concept.

Here is the link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...ic-novel/posts

Guess what, though?

We've got a long way to go, still. Remember, it's all or nothing. 100% is the goal and we are at this moment, 26% in. If we don't reach that 100%, that means we get zero.

So... Here is the plan. I have put together another drawing that is contingent upon reaching 50% midway through the campaign.

11:59 p.m. on October 24th is the deadline for this time-limited REWARD. If we reach 50% by this deadline, then every backer at the $25 level and above as of the deadline, will be entered in a drawing to win this:



• An original drawing by Silvio Db of YOU as the Locksmith, or standing alongside the Locksmith.
• Darwyn Cooke's take on Richard Stark's "Parker" trilogy. Three incredibly cool graphic novels.
• Film Noir Classic DVD Collection volume 1: The Asphalt Jungle, Gun Crazy, Murder My Sweet, Out of the Past and The Set-up.

The best part? This drawing is not impacted by the final tally at the end of the campaign. In other words, no matter what happens, the winner of the 50% drawing gets the swag! But, you have to be in it to win it... And we have to be at 50% by October 24th.

Thank you again for your incredible support. Keep on tweeting and sharing!

I've added a very interesting update to the project on kickstarter -- "Process: From Words to Images and Back Again." I've taken one 3 page sequence and outlined the process from the original screenplay to graphic novel script adaptation through initial sketches, inks, color and finally, lettering.

Here is a sneak peek (a link to a downloadable pdf of the artwork, which includes the screenplay and graphic novel script pages for the sequence, are on the kickstarter update page here:

It looks amazing, i must say.Outlining the process from original screenplay to graphic novel script adaptation through initial sketches is quite a tough job . It is the result of sheer hard work and dedication .
