Keith Brown

I'm Keith Henry Brown, and I'm raising funds to print Selected Comics Art of Keith Henry Brown, a 76-page, 9x11 full-color collection of my comics and graphic work. I'm a children's book illustrator and an instructor at Parsons School of Design as well as a former art director at Lincoln Center, and over the years I've also created comics for outlets like Blue Note Records and National Parks magazine, along with personal work that has lived scattered across magazines, folders, and social media. Some of these pieces have never been collected, and some have never been published at all. I assembled this book myself to finally bring that body of work together in one place and give it the printed form it deserves. The challenge is the upfront cost. This is a short, independent print run with no publisher behind it, just me and the printer. Printing 100 copies costs $865.50, freight to New York is about $200, and GoFundMe fees take a small portion of each donation, which brings the first run to roughly $1,100 in hand. If more is raised, I'll be able to print more copies, and about $2,000 would allow a run of 250 copies instead of 100. No funds will go to salaries or overhead, only to printing, freight, and fees. I've spent my career illustrating other people's stories. This book is mine, years of drawing comics gathered in one place. If this work has ever meant something to you, or if you simply believe it should exist in print, I'd be grateful for your help making it real. Any amount brings it closer. Thank you for reading this far, and for every way you've supported my work over the years.
