Fantasyville Productions, LLC hasn't added a story.
Welcome to Fantasyville’s Spring Cleaning Sale!
I'm Kelci D Crawford, aka KelciDComics on YouTube,
and creator of webcomics like The Legend of
Jamie Roberts, Vanita and the Demon King, and The Case of the
Wendigo. I've been making comics and art as a pro since 2013.
This means I have a LOT...like, a LOT...of original pieces and extra
stock taking up space. It's time to clear it out and make room for
new, exciting projects!
But keep in mind that once any of these are sold, they're gone
forever. So if you see something you like, nab it while you can.
This campaign is "all or nothing," which means your
payment processes at the end of the campaign.
"So wait," I can hear you asking, "if this is
all or nothing, what are you raising funds for?"
I've been making comics for a while, which means a lot of my
tools need upgrading.
We have raised $171 so far!
That means I can get a new label printer!
Can we make it to $300? Because that gets a new scanner AND a label printer!
Can we make it to $500? That will get a new scanner, a label printer, AND a second monitor!
Can we go all the way to $700?? That's a new scanner, a label printer, a second monitor, AND an external hard drive!
All of these will help in making and shipping new work out faster. More details will be shared in Updates, so stay tuned!
We are accepting orders UNTIL MAY 6.
Broke? Share this campaign far and wide! Shares help more than
you know.
That’s all for now. Thank you for your time and support!
You. Are. Awesome.

Jamie Roberts is a genderqueer pirate, traveling with their two best friends with an unfinished map in a land they've never seen! In their adventures, they find magic, spirits, and an ancient evil looking to resurface once again...
This is from the first run of the book - which had a printer error on one page in Chapter 2. The error had the colors shift in one of the panels. The rest of the book is otherwise fine.
These original sketches (first published in Gods & Spirits: A Sketchbook) come bagged with a backing board. Because gods and spirits deserve no less. These pages comes in two sizes: 5.5 x 8.5 inches or 6.375 x 10 inches.
After a successful KickStarter campaign, this Inktober 2022 Sketchbook is now available for you to purchase! This features over 30 original characters ready to inspire your next OC! This book is 5.5 x 8.5 inches with 32 pages and a satin cover finish with matte lamination.
The roller derby girl from Validation has starred in her own adventures before. Now, this book collects all of them in one place! In this book, all 30 original-run comic strips are reprinted in full color (with retouched artwork as needed). Plus there's bonus content like character art and original scripts... and a preface by CB, the creator of Validation who has a WHOLE bunch of credits to her name!
This book measures 5.5 inches tall and 8.5 inches wide., is
printed in full color, and comes saddle-stapled. It has over 35 pages
of comics packed with punk rock AWESOMENESS.
The Macho Mujeres roller derby team from Validation appreciates your support! These are single-sided acrylic with a clear snap closure and metal ring attached. They come printed in full color with protective, removable film on the face, and fit in a 2-inch square space.
This dragon baby is ready to protect your keys AND show off their pride! This is 2 x 1.45 inches, printed in full color in acrylic, with a clear snap closure and one stainless steel key ring.
Available in Rainbow and Trans patterns.
This mischievous little forest guardian is usually spotted in the bushes along the river to Yoruub. So catch this little guy before he disappears! This is an acrylic pin with a rubber closure on the back. Fits in a 1.5-inch square space and is printed single-sided in full color.
After the events of Charlie & Clow, the titular characters finally have some downtime before their next adventure. The book measures 8.625 x 6.375 inches, featuring 12 pages of black and white comics goodness - with bonus content in the back.
Highlights
See all activity2Coming to KickStarter - Reprinting The Legend!
Jamie Roberts is not a boy or a girl - they are a PIRATE! Jamie and their two best friends, Thomas and Daniel, find an unfinished map during a pirate raid and decide to leave the seas to hunt for treasure!
But the land they have arrived in has many secrets, including the secrets kept by their new employer, Ragun Basho. Who was chasing after him? Why is he talking about dragons? And who are these people Jamie is seeing in their dreams?!
The answers are revealed in the first two volumes of The Legend of Jamie Roberts, which is sailing once again on KickStarter to fund the next print run of volumes 1 and 2!
You may be like, “Hold up. You did campaigns for volume 1 and volume 2. What’s going on?”
TL;DR - the first printer messed up the books, and the second printer raised their prices with no warning. That left me searching for a new printer, which leads us to this campaign. This campaign is to help fund a new print run with a new printer for The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volumes 1 and 2.
It means new and improved quality paper! Vibrant colors! Better pricing! All to share the magical genderqueer adventure that is The Legend of Jamie Roberts with as many readers, new and old, as possible.
“But isn’t this a webcomic? That I can read online for free?” Yes!
“So why should I get these books?”
BECAUSE…
- Both books have pages redrawn and remade from the original web versions.
- These books have extra content the webcomic site does not have, like bonus comics, sneak peeks at the comics-making process, and more!
- By purchasing these books, you’re helping to continue The Legend of Jamie Roberts as an ongoing comic project. Seriously, we’re very close to releasing volume 3 next year! I plan on making 5 volumes of The Legend and need support from readers like you to make it happen.
We also have new add-ons, as well as exciting new rewards to unlock in our stretch goals!
This campaign starts October 1 and ends October 21 at 11:59 pm EST. There will be a 24-hour “Late Pledge” grace period, but Late Pledges have a late fee. Keep that in mind!
So if you're able to support The Legend, head to the page and pick the rewards that work best for you!
Broke? Share this campaign far and wide! Shares help more than you know, especially since I’m not really on social media. Be sure to use the link tinyurl.com/tlojr-reprint .
That’s all for now. Thank you for your time and support!

C Stands For... Anthology Is Ending on Crowdfundr
Now on Crowdfundr, it’s the Columbus Cartoon Coalition’s newest anthology, “C Stands For…”
Each contributing artist was given the prompt, “What does C stand for?” And collected here are so many very cool ideas!
The campaign is running on Crowdfundr to cover printing costs, get copies in time for Cartoon Crossroads Columbus, and give contributors a paid page rate. The more funding raised, the bigger the page rate!
For more info, head to the Crowdfundr page BEFORE Aug 26.
That’s all for now. Thank you for your support!
You. Are. Awesome.
P.S. New Punk Signal and Fwishi’shi are also still going on KickStarter. If you back both C Stands For AND New Punk Signal/Fwishi’shi , I will add a special edition sticker to your order. But it’s a secret surprise!
New Punk Signal AND Fwishi'shi Are NOW LIVE on KickStarter
New Punk Signal - two college boys, Mike and Steve, have big dreams to support their friends and their indie music…until the pandemic hits and shuts everything down. Now they have to figure out how to support the people they love when the world is changing its frequency.
Fwishi’shi - Fuloos is a bird-man who lives alone, in a home in a cliff by the sea. By day, he runs a radio show in the small town of Seabank. One day, he meets a fan of his work and her boyfriend - and everything changes.
These two stories are about community, assistance, and platonic love that saves the day. And with your help, I’d love to get these stories in the hands of more readers with the power of KickStarter !
So New Punk Signal is a comic spin-off-slash-sequel to Validation and ROXIE, following resident himbos Mike and Steve. And Fwishi’shi is - for the first time in my book catalog - a written novella. It’s not a comic (gasp)! It’s also set in the same universe as two comic projects I’ve done called Johnson & Sir and Thoughtful Dinosaur.
I like to think that you don’t need to read the other books to understand what’s going on in New Punk Signal and Fwishi’shi. But if you would like to delve more into those worlds, these extra stories are available as add-ons in the campaign! If you’re inclined, there’s also The Radio Tower Tier, where you can get all of these stories in one bundle.
THE HOW
The good news is - a lot of expenses for Fwishi’shi are covered by a grant from the Toledo Arts Commission! Thank you to the commission for covering the cost of the ISBNs, printing 20(ish) copies of the book, and printing bookmarks.
However, New Punk Signal needs a little support to get to print. Also, if Fwishi’shi gets a lot more than 20 orders, I need a little help to cover printing. There’s also the added wrinkle of distributing these books once they’re printed.
For these reasons, I’ve opted to run a KickStarter - not only to help New Punk Signal get printed, but to get BOTH books in the hands of readers with KickStarter’s reach.
So in short - the asking goal is low because some expenses are already covered thanks to the Toledo Arts Commission (yay)! But KickStarter will help get these books out to the masses.
THE WHEN
Because of grant deadlines and printer timelines, this campaign will run UNTIL Aug 31. Once the funding period ends, I can place orders to the printers right away. The goal is to get everything printed and in the hands of backers by September 30.
THE WHY
New Punk Signal and Frishi’shi are both projects I made during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Both were created to process my feelings and what I had seen work - and not work - during this time. I’ve also come to realize that as time goes on, the more my stories focused on the importance of community and helping friends along the way. And, as a result, both of these stories are my love letter to the importance of platonic love.
We live in a culture that romanticizes individualism, and only allows exception for romantic love. I wanted to challenge both by creating New Punk Signal and Fwishi’shi, stories that focus on the importance of interpersonal connections outside of romance.
So if you are able to, check out the campaign and chose the reward tier that works best for you! We also have add-ons such as spin-off comics, prints, and even art books!
Broke? Share this campaign far and wide! Shares help more than you know.
That’s all for now. Thank you for your support!

New Robots Comics Anthology Now on KickStarter!
There’s a new robots comics anthology now on KickStarter!
Canonwrite Productions got 19 different creators together for The Universal Flaws of Robotics , a comics anthology all about robots. I did a short story for it, and served as editor for some of the stories!
The Universal Flaws of Robotics is Canonwrite’s biggest campaign yet, asking for $9,000 to pay contributors and make an offset print run of the paperback books. Rewards include paperback and PDF copies, prints, commissions (including slots where you can book me!), and more.
So be sure to check out the campaign, and spread the word so we can get as many folks as possible hyped!
Here’s the link to the campaign page. You have UNTIL AUG 12 to check out the campaign. Also, be sure to sign up for my newsletter to stay up to date on more upcoming books.
Thank you for your support!

It's Godzilla and King Kong...in Booty Shorts!
AHHH! IT'S GODZILLA! AND KING KONG! And they're…in BOOTY SHORTS ?!
WHY??
It’s a long story, but in short - have a party with cartoonists to get the silliest visual gags. And King Kong? Well, I had to draw Godzilla with a buddy! Especially during one of my YouTube Livestreams, where I drew these two for your viewing pleasure .
I had also been low-key inspired by nerdile art, who appeared at Animarathon this year with Magical Girl Godzilla stickers . I got one, fell in love, and needed to make something just as silly.
So there! We now have Godzilla and King Kong having a great, booty-ful time. And now…I want to make holographic stickers of them! Because these booties need to sparkle.
But why run a campaign at all? To see how many folks want these fat-bottomed Kaiju sticking on every available surface so they can share their joy!
You tell me how many stickers you want. I’ll tally up the total orders by the end of the campaign, send what’s needed to Stickerapp, and then they'll send me the stickers. From there, I’ll mail out everyone's orders with a custom card and my thanks (I’ll keep the glitter to a minimum).
WHEN
This campaign will take orders until May 24 at 11:59 pm!
You only have a few days! So grab these Kaiju cheeks now while you can!
Broke? Share this campaign far and wide! Sharing is caring and helps a lot. (I also cannot be held responsible if you disappoint Godzilla AND King Kong, you mad lads.)
That’s all for now. Thank you for your time and support!

Orders are Shipped! What's Next?
All Spring Cleaning Sale orders have been shipped! Please email me at kelci@fantasyvilleproductions.com if you haven't received your package yet.
We're not quite done yet. What's next?
So we raised $171 in the Spring Cleaning Sale, which was enough to get a new label printer. I just placed the order for it, and the total came out to $83.85.
Which is great! So what will the remaining $87.15 be used for?
First, with permission, I'd like to use it for shipping some art to the Ann Arbor Art Center. They're running a gallery showing for the Ann Arbor Comic Arts Fest in June (where I'm also attending as a guest artist!), and the painting I wish to submit is a 16x20 piece.
Here's a picture of the art in question when it debuted at Visions & Shadows at the Stifel Fine Art Center in 2016.
There are also three sketches going with this painting to the art show. But I need a box and shipping costs covered. With permission from the backers, I would like to use however much of the remainder is needed to ship this art to the gallery show.
After that's covered? We'll see if anything is still left!
In the meantime, I'm gearing up for another, much shorter campaign to get two new sticker designs made. Sign up for my email newsletter to get a sneak peek when the campaign is ready!
That's all for now. Thanks for reading!
You. Are. Awesome.
WE'RE FUNDED! What's Next?
We're funded! We made it to the deadline!
So what's next?
This campaign has been set up for payments to be processed once the timeline for fundraising ends. So payments will be processed now.
Make sure your payment and shipping info is up to date! You have until May 8 before Crowdfundr processes your payment. It might be sooner, depending on who your credit card company is.
In the meantime, I have rewards set aside. The next step is to get the mailing supplies ready. Stay tuned for more updates!
Thank you for your support.
You. Are. Awesome.
5 DAYS TO GO!
We have 5 days to go until the Spring Cleaning Sale ends!
If you have placed your order already - thank you so much for your support! Your payments will be processed in the 48 hours after May 6, so you should be good to go. Just be sure your mailing addresses are up-to-date, as I'll be shipping out rewards ASAP.
If you haven't backed this campaign yet - you have just 5 days! And these are limited quantities. Once sold, they're gone for good.
If you're in the Toledo, OH area - I'm going to Free Comic Book Day at Toledo Game Room! And I'm bringing the remaining stock from this sale so you can get these in person.
All sales will help to replace old and broken tools. And if we go beyond that, getting new tools to level up comics production.
And help share the link wherever you hang out, online or in person.
That's all for now. I appreciate your support!
You. Are. Awesome.
So...About The Timeline for this Campaign...
So I'm noticing something interesting about crowdfunding campaigns on Crowdfundr vs KickStarter. And the thing I'm noticing is this:
KickStarter has pretty consistent energy and backing, even accounting for the mid-campaign dip in energy. That happens in almost every KickStarter I've ever run.
Crowdfundr has a big ol' burst at the start, dies in the middle, and whether there's a burst at the end, or it stays dead, depends on the campaign.
Because It's not just this campaign - Just about every Crowdfundr campaign I've run thus far has big energy at the start before it peters out. The Dragon Baby Keychains and Mr. Dino Keychains were the most pronounced examples of that phenomenon.
I don't know if this campaign will be super quiet before a big ol' burst at the end...or if it's going to stay quiet for the rest of the campaign.
So here's what I'm doing.
First - the campaign's finish date will stay on May 6. It's a promise I will keep.
Second, I am opening up to feedback about this campaign. Is it weird to open up to feedback halfway through a campaign's run? Maybe. But I'm gonna' do it anyway. Because I'm not the only one in this equation. I need your help to make this campaign awesome so that we can cross the finish line with big energy.
So let me know your thoughts about this campaign by emailing me at kelcidcrawford@gmail.com, or DMing me on Discord. My user handle is kelcidcrawford.
Let me know: are some of these price points too high? Too low? Is Crowdfundr an annoying platform to buy stuff on? Is the shipping cost coming up with weird prices? I want to know everything.
That's all for now. Thank you for your support and feedback.
You. Are. Awesome.

Now that RathaCon is wrapped up, there are changes in the Spring Cleaning Sale stock. Here's what's new:
- Forest Spirit Pins got taken down because they sold out at the show.

- Family Business by Ben Wright-Heuman has also been removed from the sale and given back to Ben so he, too, has extra stock for SPACE.

- New original art - specifically paintings - will be coming soon!
Stay tuned for the new original art listings and more updates!
That's all for now. Keep sharing this sale far and wide! Sharing is caring and helps so much.
You. Are. Awesome.
We Hit Base Goal! Here Are the Stretch Goals!
We have raised $145 so far!
That means I can get a new label printer!
Can we make it to $300? Because that gets an external hard drive AND a label printer!
Can we make it to $500? That will get an external hard drive, a label printer, AND a second monitor!
Can we go all the way to $700?? That's an external hard drive, a label printer, a second monitor, AND a new scanner!
All of these will help in making and shipping new work out
faster. Stay tuned for further updates!
That's all for now. Thank you for your support!
