Help a Single Father Launch a Father-Son Brand & Kids Books

Hey, I’m Brendan — a single father, designer, and storyteller trying to build something that reflects love, family, and legacy.

I’ve spent over 13 years creating clothing, characters, and concepts rooted in real life. Now I’m turning those years of work into something bigger: a father-son streetwear brand called KnuckleHeadz, and a series of children’s books designed to uplift, inspire, and entertain kids — especially the ones who don’t always see themselves in the stories they read and can tend to be put in situationsthat arent as fortunate and not of their own fault.

This project is about more than clothes or comics. It’s about family. It’s about strength in numbers. I’ve been blessed to have a family that stood behind me when things got hard. My parents(especially my mother), my child, my people — they’ve been my backbone. They’re the reason I push through, and they’re the spirit behind every design, every book, every move I make.

As a single dad, I’ve learned to stretch every dollar. But to take this vision to the next level — I need a little help.

Your support will help cover:

Publishing my first children’s book

Producing the first official KnuckleHeadz clothing line

Equipment, materials, and legal protections (trademark, etc.)

Building a platform that can grow into something long-lasting

If you believe in creativity, fatherhood, and the power of family — I’d be honored to have you on this journey.

Thank you for reading. And if you decide to support or even share this, just know — you’re helping me show my son what it looks like to chase a dream and build something real.

This isn’t just about a dream — it’s about turning vision into reality. Every dollar you contribute goes directly toward launching the KnuckleHeadz father-son brand and publishing the first children’s book. Here's how the funds will be used:

Category Estimated Cost Purpose

Children's Book Printing & Setup $800 Covers formatting, ISBN, and first print run

Clothing Production (Initial Run) $750 DTF transfers, blank apparel, tagging, and packaging for first shirts

Creative Tools & Supplies $500 Design software upgrades, sketch materials, digital art tools

️ Trademark & Legal Filing $450 Protects the KnuckleHeadz brand and logos

Marketing Materials & Promo $300 Flyers, mockups, small ad boosts to spread awareness

Shipping & Misc. Costs $200 Fulfillment, postage, GoFundMe fees, backup funds = 3000 total

I've already started work on characters and backgrounds, story lines, some father son merchandise and the first blueprint to the first novel!

With gratitude,

Brendan Holloway
