ANCIENT FUTURES GRAPHIC NOVEL
Ancient Futures’ Kickstarter campaign
Murmur Ring joined the creative team launching this graphic novel series to develop a communications strategy, produce the Kickstarter campaign video, capture imagery and video vignettes for social media promotion, and lead partnership development across publications and organizations. The Kickstarter was fully funded within three days of the launch.
"People are losing faith in all the structures, systems, beliefs and securities - the “realities” that held them up for so long. The subtle message in this book is there is no reality."
Steven White, aka “Seven”, Ancient Futures Creator & Author
Informed by creator & author Seven's curiosity and design research background and illustrated by Aaron McConnell, Ancient Futures takes readers on a mind-bending journey through conspiracy theories, global conflict, quantum physics, ancient mysticism, Afropunk, Jungian psychology, and metacognition.
Dope Your Life with the Chicago Graphic Design Club
"Afropunk, for me, describes the reality of growing up marginalized in a culture… You find yourself the only Black person at a heavy metal show, or mixing in places that aren’t traditionally Black… But you come back and you bring your own spin to that. "
