At last, great news, Hive!
My novella Professor Otagburuagu which is a collaboration between myself and Scandinavian artist @kathardisdrill (to do the illustrations) has just launched on Kickstarter.com today the 12th of July!
You can check it out here: Professor Otagburuagu Kickstarter.
I'm so excited right now, ladies and gentlemen, this is my first book and it has been my childhood dream to create books, cartoons and movies. And here I am taking my first step (after losing years studying to become a lawyer)!
Without further ado, please go unto the Kickstarter link and support our book now 😃. (Here is it again so you don't have to go all the way up 5 lines 😃: Professor Otagburuagu Kickstarter.
Like I said before in the last update
This is Hive's Own Book
How This is Hive's Own Book
As some of you know, the Nigerian villain Professor Otagburuagu was first created by me here on hive (or what it was) in 2017 in a story contest hosted by @vcelier for @adsactly. Everyone fell in love with the character including @katharsisdrill who contested and won the illustration part of the contest. (You can read about it better in my last
update)
Now I have gone on to give Professor Otagburuagu his own book, a novella of 30,000+ words illustrated by @kathatsisdrill's titillating art.
As you can see, it all began here on hive and is a testimony to the connections we're all making here on hive as a community. Friendships, spousal relationships, collaborations and projects such as this, etc. are the fruits of community done right, the proofs that it's not all for nothing.
And for certain hive is going to be mentioned wherever this book or the Otagburuagu character takes us. There are endless possibilities to where we can go from here: movies (Netflix's interest in Nigerian content is huge, plus my future movie ambitions.), animation, comics, etc. wherever it takes us, hive would be mentioned.
So please support Hive's Own!
