Fulfillment Update! 50% Shipped!
27 days ago – Tue, Jul 21, 2026 at 10:55:42 AM

Hello! Just wanted to drop in to give everyone a little update. I've been working hard to fulfil as quickly as I can. I brought in extra help, and I've had my team working several days a week getting packages sent out. Keep in mind that when I say "team" I mean two adults I hired to help out sometimes, my teenager who sometimes assembles bags and boards for me, and my baby who mainly just wants me to stop packing orders and play with him. So we are doing the best we can!

In any case, I've got about 50% of the orders packed and ready to ship out, and I hope to finish the remainder by the end of this coming weekend.

Stay tuned for news about issue #2!

Also, while I have you, Nick OG (artist and creator of Antigone Filigree) just launched his latest Kickstarter, a 10th Anniversary Edition of his classic comic book The Athenian.

Thanks!

Fulfilment has begun! A look at the books!
about 1 month ago – Mon, Jul 13, 2026 at 06:12:48 AM

Hello! The books arrived late last week, and I was able to get them unpacked this weekend. Here's a look:

The only item I'm still waiting on is the sketchbooks, and tracking says they should be arriving today!

I have already begun packing a few orders, but the majority of fulfilment will begin in earnest next weekend when my team will come by for a long shift of packing and shipping. Over the past two weeks I have recieved five campaigns worth of books - so there will be a lot of packages going out!

Thank you for your support, and I can't wait to get these into your hands. Let me know if you have any questions!

15 Hours Left//SKETCHBOOK PREVIEW!
3 months ago – Fri, May 22, 2026 at 03:51:52 AM

Hey everyone, Nick here. If you’re enjoying the art you’ve seen throughout the Antigone Filligree campaign, I really recommend checking out the Antigone Sketchbook Add-On before the campaign closes in the next 15 hours.

Mock-up of wraparound cover; NOT FINAL


 

This is a 24-page companion book packed with sketches, concept art, process work, and behind-the-scenes material from the creation of Antigone Filigree. Four pages are presented in full colour, with the remaining pages in rich black & white. It will push past the panels and borders of Antigone Filigree #1 and let you glimpse the spectacular world that's been slowly been developed for the last decade. It's a real trip. 

I always love seeing how comics evolve from rough ideas into finished pages, and this sketchbook pulls back the curtain on the world, characters, and visual development of the book in a really personal way. The 4 colour pages contain a detailed map of the expansive lands of the realm, a double page spread design dossier and more! This ashcan on display here in nowhere near the quality colors and rich blacks of the final product. The cover will most likely be silk screened, and all books are hand assembled by me, as well as being signed and numbered.

Cover Design

If you want a deeper look into the making of Antigone Filligree, this is the perfect companion piece to add onto your pledge before the campaign wraps up!

Thanks for all the support, Caleb and I are excited to continue on this epic story, it's going to be jawdropping.

All the best,
Nick OG
