Smell the Roses

04/07/2023

Hello explorers! Jackson here with some quick updates:

I recently rebuilt my website—linked here: jacksonziegler.com

I’m also no longer selling Smell the Roses through Etsy. However, I do still have plenty of printed issues to go around. If you’re interested in purchasing copies, drop me a message here on FB, or write me directly through my website.

Most importantly, I’ve been working super hard on a new horror comic that I can’t wait to publish soon! There are some sample pages on my COMICS page. Go check it out!

- End transmission.

If you buy my books and enjoyed the experience, consider leaving a review on my Etsy shop. It makes me look cooler and ups my chances of selling more books!

How cool is this?! These are the hard-copy proofs for both issues of STR. I approved them last week, and they are being printed and bound right now! I should have them in 6 or 7 weeks. In the meantime, I need to make an Etsy account so I can get these books to you! I’ll let you know as soon as they get here.

If you want to know more about my experience with printing, I made a new blog post about it here:

Here's some extra art for the printed version of Smell the Roses. It's been a crazy few weeks, but I'm finally closing in on wrapping this project up. One more piece and I should be all set for print. Stay tuned!

Recent news on Smell the Roses:

As my Kickstarter backers know, the campaign for Smell the Roses was ultimately unsuccessful. It’s a bummer I know. BUT! Thanks to some really special people, I still got funding for the printed books! I’ve already purchased the ISBNs and barcodes for both issues, and they’ll go into print really soon! Been a busy few weeks, and busier weeks to come. For more info, go check out my blog:

NEW HOUSE April 17, 2019 0 Comments Hi friends! Jackson here to bring you an update on the Ziegler household! We’ve been pretty busy here, and we’re about to be a whole lot busier. As you can see from the comic above, we bought a house! I’ve also got updates on Smell the Roses and a brand-new ...

And blogger Bobby Saunders for being nice enough to help promote STR on his page as well.

Hey, how cool is this? A Place To Hang Your Cape reviewed Smell the Roses!
Thanks Fred McNamara for agreeing to check my comic out, and thanks Rob Saladino for the kind remarks and awesome review! Thanks for the advice too! I’m always looking to grow and evolve as a storyteller.

Aliens have been depicted in all shapes and sizes throughout cinema, from what Ridley Scott brought us in 1979, all the way up to Mars Attacks!. Comic books have also brought us some great alien life, but I can’t remember the last time I was given such a wave of nostalgia after reading Smell The R...

Hi folks! We’re at 34% on the Kickstarter campaign for my two issue comic Smell the Roses! Thank you all so much for the donations and the shares. We only have 13 more days to make our goal though, or it’ll go completely unfunded! So if you want to get the books or some art, or you just want to help out, here’s a link to my campaign:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jacksonziegler/smell-the-roses-issues-1-and-2?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=Smell%20the%20Roses

I’ve also made a new blog post on my website. I know some of you don’t really know how Kickstarter works, so I’ve done my best to explain it. You can check that out here:

A big thanks to those who have already backed my project. If you want to help out but can’t donate, just share this post! More eyes equals more potential backers!

Happy V-Day, Friends! I hope yours is full of flowers and chocolate. But, whether it is or it isn’t, you can still take these flowers home: Smell the Roses; my two issue comic book! It’s going strong on KICKSTARTER, but we still have a long way to go to meet our goal in 3 weeks. I’m excited to get these books printed, and I know a lot of you are too! So please, if you get a chance, help spread the word about my campaign. Lets get these roses into everyone’s hands!

Alright! 3 days after launch and the Smell the Roses KICKSTARTER campaign has managed to hit 22% already! Thank you so much for your help! We still have a long way to go though, so lets keep up the momentum!

Kickstarter Link:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jacksonziegler/smell-the-roses-issues-1-and-2?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=Smell%20the%20Roses

Here is a special print I drew up only for Kickstarter backers. If anybody wants one, it’s reward tier two and up. I still have lots of original pages left, so picking is still good on original art. And if you want a custom character drawing, my table is completely open for commissions!

If you would like to contribute, but can’t make a pledge, the biggest way to help me is to share the project with your friends. Help me get the word out about my comic, and we can get these books funded and shipped out!

Keep your eyes peeled for more updates!
