the android's astrological companion



Yes, I have already completed the categories for "Art", "Comics", and "Literature". Those pieces of my kickstarter backer "pie" were completed quite a while back, multiple times.
But I couldn't resist!
You see, I like the name, too. It reminds me of Tanith Lee's "The Silver Metal Lover" and Isaac Asimov's robot novels that I so enjoyed in my younger years.
This art book of short stories promises to be quite lovely and will be right at home beside my copy of "Speculative Relationships", wouldn't you agree? I think they will be a most winning couple!
I do so appreciate Cody Vrosh providing me an opportunity to help bring this project to life. Honestly, I don't know that he really needs to utilize the services of kickstarter to advance his work. He already has his own bookpress and screenprinting workshop, known as Binary Winter.
Perhaps he's simply wanting to spread the gospel, too.
That dieselpunk-flavored, modern creed with comic coloration.
One NOVA-sized cup for me, please!
That means my paltry forty-three dollars will gain the PDF, the signed hardback copy of the book, AND a signed print - of my choice! I'll make sure my "Kickstarter Rewards Wall" has a waiting space beside the cover print from "Speculative Relationships".
Together on the wall AND on the bookshelf!
That's for sure, too. This is another project I'm joining late, as its active time ends tomorrow. This is also another project which has well outstripped its funding goal. The creator has chosen to expand the rewards into additional levels as "stretch goals" are reached.
In fact, I'll not only receive the NOVA package, but also an additional book! This one is titled "The Zodiac of Teeth" and should make friends easily on the bookshelf with "Creature disComforts".
Very nice perk!

Update #8

Oct 23 2014
Very many thanks and onward to the making of things!

Hello Everyone!

I'm waiting for the word thanks to lose its meaning but I can't stop saying it! I say thanks not only for helping us make, what I think will be, an amazing book, but also for this gracious feeling I've been walking around with for a while now. As independent creators, your support and encouragement mean the world to us. We love making art and telling stories, and we’re incredibly grateful to have a community that shares our enthusiasm for new creative adventures.

But let's get to the details of what happens next!

We’ll wrap up editing and layout for both The Android’s Astrological Companion and The Zodiac of Teeth so that we’re ready to go to press. In the meantime, Kickstarter and Amazon will process your payments and, in about two weeks, we’ll receive the funds to get things rolling with the print production. We have a profound love for books, and we're going to do everything in our power to make both books as beautiful as possible!

We’ll continue to update you regularly as we traverse the production process for the books, prints, collector’s book plate, and PDF sketchbook. As we get closer to the delivery dates, we’ll reach out to you via the survey for your shipping details and print selections. For backers getting custom paintings, I’ll continue to follow up with you on our collaboration as I work on your pieces.

Once again, thank you for being so incredibly rad, we couldn't do it without you. Have an excellent weekend and talk to you soon!

-Cody & Sheatiel
