Something Big, Bold & Looping This Way Comes…

Support indie comic artists and help this book exist

Hi friends, Romans,

I’ve been a bit quiet here lately—mostly because I’ve been buried in work—but I’m breaking radio silence for something truly exciting.

As you may know, last year I joined WIP, an independent association of comic artists based in the UK (but with members all over the world). Together, we’ve been working on their annual comics anthology, a gorgeous 120-page collection of work from a range of talented indie creators.

The 2025 theme is “Infinity / Loop / Ouroboros”, and my own contribution is a playful, slightly mind-bending comic inspired by Hilbert’s Hotel—a famous mathematical thought experiment that will tickle both comic fans and math lovers.

Here’s the important bit: this anthology will only be published if our Kickstarter reaches its goal before the end of this month. Your support—no matter the amount—will go directly towards printing, distribution, and sustaining WIP as a platform where independent artists can connect, share knowledge, and create ambitious new work.

There’s no limit to the rooms in Hilbert’s Hotel… or the imagination inside this book.

Every bit of support makes a difference—whether it’s a few euros or more. Backers can choose from a range of rewards, from a digital or physical copy of the anthology to previous WIP books, or even a personal thank-you credit.

By pledging, you’re not just helping to print a book—you’re actively supporting a community of independent artists and becoming part of the story we’re telling.

Thanks for reading—and keep an eye out, because Evil Strawberry will have more exciting news coming your way this September.
