ShortBox is proud to present ‘Out of Style’ a stunning new artbook from the brilliant Devi Putri Megwati aka @winchestermegg (Twitter / Instagram)! ‘Out of Style’ follows 3 young Muslim women: Mila, Yul, and Hana, giving us glimpses into their lives as they go to school, work, spend time with family and friends, shop, and more! As well as being a showcase for Meg’s gorgeous art, ‘Out of Style’ is also an unfettered celebration of young Muslim women simply being themselves -goofy, passionate, sporty, anxious, lazy, stylish (the list goes on) – beyond the boundaries of othering perceptions. With over 100 pages of illustrations and 40 pages of comics, this really is an unmissable affirming debut from a rising superstar artist.
With this Kickstarter, we’re looking to cover the costs of printing the book, shipping, fulfilment, project management, production, plus Kickstarter and payment processing fees.
**Most importantly: this Kickstarter is currently the ONLY WAY to get this book. Our focus is to get this book made, and so this funding goal reflects a small print run in order to do that. **
Meg’s finishing up the final few pages of the book, and then we’ll move on to working on the layout and design, with the aim of having that completed within the next two months. After that we’ll be sending the book to print (around mid-September), before beginning shipping and fulfilment in October, inshallah.
As of July 24th, this project has raised $30,000 of their $19,286 goal. This project has 2 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $12, you will get one digital book. For a pledge of $22, you will get one print book. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shortbox/out-of-style-a-gorgeous-all-new-winchestermegg-artbook?
