There will only ever be as many of these T-shirts as there are people ordering them. The more people order, the more money we make per T-shirt that can go towards the festival. This design is the cover of the anthology, as designed by Kevin Threlfall.

We will get them printed after the end of the campaign, so they should be available by 1st Dec 2020

Unisex, short sleeves, sizes tend to be a bit small, so you might want to order a size larger than normal.

Select reward £25 or more

Tshirt design for websiteThere will only ever be as many of these T-shirts as there are people ordering them. The more people order, the more money we make per T-shirt that can go towards the festival. This design is unique to these shirts, we don’t use it for the official merchandise for the festival, so when you wear it, you will be instantly identifiable as the special, generous person that you are! We are aiming at 20, but will definitely not make more than 50. We will get them printed after the end of the campaign, so they should be available by 1st Dec 2020

Kevin Threlfall Prints for Tymes Goe by Turnes Crowd Fund

One of the lovely things about running a tiny publishing house is that you get involved in all the decisions and every element of the process, including the covers, which leads on to getting to know, however slightly, a lot of artists and designers. One such artist is Kevin Threlfall, who has done several covers for us now, starting with the cover for our award-winning anthology Weird Lies, and is currently working on the cover for Tymes Goe by Turnes

Happy Ending Not Guaranteed
With Paper for Feet
Weird Lies
Departures

Kevin exhibited with us at our first ever Cover Artists’ show in September 2014, and kindly said that we could keep whatever did not sell, and use it however we saw fit.

How we saw fit is to offer the remaining prints as rewards for the crowd fund for  Solstice Shorts Festival. There are only two left.

These are they:

Each print is approximately 400mm wide by 500mm high and printed on canvas.

Estimated delivery: 2nd Nov 2020

Select reward £40 or more

At the present rate, we will only make aobut half the money we need, so if this partivular reward doesnt take your fancy, please head over to the crowdfund and pick another one!

If we hit the target, we can get match funding, which will go towards our next three books.

Solstice Shorts Dusk: Crowd Fund reward 2: Original Art

Posted on by

We try to make our Crowd fund rewards varied and desirable, (as desirable as the projects we are trying to fund!) and we are helped in that by the generosity of our authors and artists.

Here’s a spectacular reward:

An original oil painting from cover artist Kevin Threlfall. About 30cm square (12″ for those of my vintage) Mist Descending, is painted on canvas board and unframed to make posting it affordable.(Someone has pledged for this one, but the prints are still available, see below!)

Kevin did the covers for Weird Lies, Happy Ending NOT Guaranteed and With Paper for Feet.

A versatile artist happy in many media, and also a generous one. If you can’t stretch to original art we have prints available too. Find these and other epic rewards on our Crowd fund

#Arachne5 thank you Artists

Over the years (five of them!) we’ve published books (16 of them!) and that’s meant we’ve needed covers.

Some of them I’ve done myself either due to lack of funds or because I had a good idea and a photo that would work, others we’ve had competitions to find artists, and yet more we’ve gone back to artists we’ve worked with because we LOVE their designs. (Some we would like to have gone back to but they aren’t doing book covers any more.)

Mostly they are shy folk and don’t much show their faces, but we still want to give them all a thank you.

Thank you to:

Annie Rickard Straus (Lovers’ Lies)

 

 

 

 

 

Zoe Lee (The Other Side of Sleep)

Stretching the #Outcome Crowd Fund target

6 days to go and already we’ve reached our crowd fund target. Tom (our photographer) and I have had a conversation about what we can reasonably stretch to.

SO feeling rather cheeky, but we’ve costed out printing up and mounting A1 copies of 80  for the launch exhibition, many of which would be reused in the touring exhibition.

Shockingly wide variation depending on how we approach it, but we are confident we can do it to the quality we need for £840.

Rather than just sit back we would like go all out to see if we can reach this additional target in the next 6 days!

If you would like to help us reach this further target the crowdfund is here.

Lots of treats available.
