Icarus never fell. He rose.

Two years ago, my lovely [livejournal.com profile] belgatherial wrote a short story called "Icarus," a lyrical and moving retelling of the Greek myth that shapes the old tale into something new. It was deservedly well-received, and she's been plotting over what to do with it ever since. That "what to do" is finally taking shape, and it's going to be stunning: she is teaming up with Josh, an artist from her town of Dunedin, New Zealand, to create an illustrated book for the piece, applying his gorgeous illustration style to give the whole thing a modern/Steampunk vibe. They're crowdfunding this project through Indiegogo, with incentives for bidders ranging from autographed copies of the final book in two sizes to the original artworks themselves.

In short, click here and get in on this. It's too beautiful not to happen.

As the next month is leaving me with very little spare monies, I signal boosted this. It looks too pretty to not! I hope it's funded. :)
