Minding Mama trailer





'Minding Mama' is a comic book series written by Elaine Jackson, Illustrated by Dan Schaefer and colored by Grant Kempster

Mama, her infant son and Cyril the Farmbot live on Earth several hundred years into our future. Decades of intense solar flare activity have left the surface uninhabitable. Only robots such as Farmbots Cyril and Celia can spend any time on the surface, where they attempt to cultivate UV-resistant crops. But the Farmbots are old, and starting to break down... 

Facing starvation and determined to save her son, Mama embarks on a series of dangerous journeys with Cyril the Farmbot to find other survivors, and in the course of her journey she uncovers facts about her origins which deeply trouble her.

As of September 2018, we have already successfully raised funds to create our promotional trailer featuring Kate Davies-Speak (web series 'Horizon', indie films 'Escape from Cannibal Farm', 'The Barge People') as Mama and David Learner (Marvin the Paranoid Android stage & TV versions of 'The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy') as the voice of Cyril the Farmbot.   Concept art for 'Minding Mama' was created jointly by Dan Schaefer and Amanda Fullwood .

Welcome to my latest project - 'Minding Mama' , a post-apocalyptic comic book series!



My latest project, a comic book series titled 'Minding Mama' has just gone live on Kickstarter.  Adapted from a short story I wrote a few years ago, it will be illustrated by Oregon-based artist Dan Schaefer and coloured by Grant Kempster.  Below you can see a sample of Dan and Grant's work. 


You can find out more about our project on our website, www.mindingmama.org. If you head on over the Kickstarter page, you'll see some of the rewards available to patrons, and read our very first interview with concept artist/graphic/costume and production designer Amanda Fullwood. 

I'll post more news as I have it, so please check back!
