Bread Tarleton hasn't added a story.

 

Project Summary:

 

BodyBuilding is a comic about a community of Pieces of Self (including Your Self Awareness, Your Sweet Tooth, and The Tingle in Your Toes) coming together to design a body that works for the whole community. With the introduction of a new Piece of Self (The Hum in Your Ear), the community has to adjust and reprioritize to accept the new member.  The Hum in Your Ear questions their value, seeing themself as a burden, and struggles to accept the grace and love given to them.

 

This project is a love letter to bodies and the way we care for them, accept them, and grow with them. The story within is about designing a self that moves towards your goals and dreams, and building that self out of parts of you that already exist. 

 

For me this is a continuation of work in learning to be present in my body after decades of dissociation. I wanted to create this comic to show radical self-acceptance in the face of hard changes within a body, and hopefully to provide a framework for people to be present within themselves.



Specs:

BodyBuilding will be a zine of 52 pages, divided into 5 sections: The Formation of The Hum in Your Ear, The Community Design, the Redesign of the Self, and The Body in the World. 

The zine itself will have a Riso printed cover, and be assembled in a saddle-stitch style. 

 

 

Rewards: 

 

  • $10 - A digital PDF of BodyBuilding
  • $15 - A physical copy of BodyBuilding
  • $25 - A physical copy of BodyBuilding and a physical copy of YOU (a poetry comic zine)

 

At this time, I’m only able to ship physical products within the U.S.



Breakdown of Where the Money Goes:

 

Money raised will go primarily to printing (about 70%), shipping (about 20%), and access to Riso printing (about 10%). Any money raised past the goal of $300 will go primarily go to a larger print run, but if we pass $500, extra rewards will be included for each supporter's package, most likely a RISO Print. 

 

I’m very excited to share this comic, and I can’t do it without your support! So in advance, thank you for helping me bring this comic to life!
