Hello Fellow Psychonauts,
As we are moments away from 100% funding for Psychonaut 5: A New Trip, I wanted to take a moment to share a different kind of update—the "why" behind this project.
The Journey into the Unknown
When I started The Simon Myth Chronicles and Psychonaut Presents, I was driven by a single purpose: to explore the deeper, weirder parts of reality and consciousness that mainstream comics often ignore.
For me, these comics are not just stories; they are a journey into Gnosticism, Jungian archetypes, and the power of psychedelic experiences.
The Simon Myth Chronicles: Broken Chalice is my way of grappling with the hidden forces that shape our world, following a mystical quest where the answers lie deep within mystery traditions. It's a love letter to the arcane.
Psychonaut Presents is a more direct, memoir-style exploration of my own experiences, translating the abstract and mind-bending into sequential art. It’s about making the intangible real on the page.
Your support isn't just funding paper and printing; it's funding the courage to explore these topics and keep this niche corner of the indie comic world alive.
The Current Status: Moments from Funding
We are now just a handful of pledges away from our $1,000 goal!
Hitting this target is critical. It will not only secure the printing of both books but will immediately allow us to print enough copies to attend new venues, such as art fairs and conventions, significantly expanding the reach of the Psychonaut universe to new readers.
Every new backer and pledge upgrade helps us put these comics into the hands of a much wider audience!
The sooner we reach our $1,000 goal, the sooner we can get the books printed and in your hands—hopefully just in time for the holidays!
If you've been waiting for the right moment to pledge, the right moment is now.
Psychonaut 5 in the Media
I have many more media appearances if you want to hear more about the campaign and the creative process behind my work.
THE ENTHEOGENIC EVOLUTION - Host and psychedelic scholar Martin Ball and I discuss psychedelics, the nature of story-telling, and the joy of creating good old fashioned physical objects.

Onward and upward,
