Jamie Tanner’s unusual comic book business model

Jamie Tanner (The Aviary, Adhouse Books) is asking people to pledge money up-front to help fund his next graphic novel. Pledges of 50 bucks or more get a page of original art. So far he’s raised over $6k.

Check out the rest of Jamie’s short comic , The Squid (above), over at the Kickstarter blog.

I love the idea of Kickstarter, but am disappointed that it is available to US Residents only.
