⚡ We Launched! Bolt Voltage Kickstarter Is Live! ⚡

What This Means to Me (And Why This Goal Matters)

Hey Volt Crew,

I can’t believe I’m typing this… The Bolt Voltage: Out of Sync Kickstarter is officially LIVE!

This is something I’ve been dreaming about, stressing over, and building piece by piece for a long time now. Hitting that launch button felt like sending a piece of myself into orbit. And now, I get to share this moment with you.

⚙️ Why This Kickstarter Matters

Bolt Voltage: Out of Sync is more than just a graphic novel—it’s a story about finding your way back when you feel disconnected from everything. And honestly? That’s where I was when I first started this.

I started creating Bolt Voltage during a time when life felt… out of sync. I was home caring for my wife, showing up for my kids, figuring out how to keep going after losing sight in one eye from a car accident. Drawing this story gave me a map back to myself. It reminded me that you can glitch out, short-circuit, break down—and still reboot.

Now, this Kickstarter is me asking for help to bring that story to the finish line. To print the book. To get it into your hands. To show anyone who’s ever felt lost or broken that you can keep moving forward, even when it feels impossible.

🔋 What Meeting the Goal Means

Meeting our goal isn’t just about numbers. It’s about proving this story matters. It’s about showing up for the version of me who thought he didn’t have a voice anymore—and giving him a megaphone.

It means I can:

  • Print high-quality copies of Bolt Voltage: Out of Sync

  • Pay the folks helping make this book even better (editors, letterers, etc.)

  • Ship rewards that make you feel part of Bolt’s world

  • Create a space for readers to connect and share their own “out of sync” moments

  • Start dreaming bigger for the next chapter of Bolt’s journey (and maybe yours too)

If we meet this goal, it tells me I’m not shouting into the void. It tells me this story has a place in the world—and that’s a feeling I can’t even describe.

⚡ How You Can Help

If you’ve ever felt connected to this project or to me—whether we’ve talked about art at Michael’s, shared life stories, or geeked out over emotional robots—this is the moment I need you.

🌩️ We’re Doing This

I’ve said it before—Bolt Voltage is about learning the map of yourself, step by step. This Kickstarter is one of those steps. And if we reach this goal together? It’ll be proof that even when you’re out of sync… you can find your way.

Thank you for believing in this. Thank you for believing in me.
