Greetings, followers. ‘Doc’ Vaughn here, creator of AUTUMN MOON and ROUGH STUFF comics, as well as other zines, comic books, novels, and art via my self-published Brain-Child Entertainment. I am in the process of designing a Campaign for ROUGH STUFF issue #3, but unfortunately Kickstarter has not yet approved the final page. I had already made significant changes to the images shown to advertise and entice backers (basically censoring almost EVERYTHING with black boxes) but they have asked for changes before going forward AGAIN.
Here is the latest response I was forced to send to Kickstarter regarding the changes they asked for on the in-progress ROUGH STUFF #3 Comic Campaign: https://docredfield.wixsite.com/kickstarterlink
We are at a crossroads; I ask both interested backers and other KS Creatives to read my letter above with the understanding that A) this is after 3 rounds of changes thus far where I have been fully cooperative regardless of my feelings on censorship, be it in America or abroad… and B) that you all understand that I do this knowing full well that it might get my campaign denied or even get me removed from the platform entirely. I believe that censorship is wrong, that art and creative expression is an inalienable right, and that hypocritical politicians, corporations, and banking institutions have become entirely too controlling and that these changes must be fought.
I also ask that – if you’re interested in ROUGH STUFF #3, AUTUMN MOON #4 and other campaigns and products I plan to bring to the public on a Crowdfunding Platform, that you join my email list at Brain-Child and/or otherwise follow my websites listed above. With luck (and perhaps arguments such as the one I am presenting) I will be announcing the launch of said campaign here soon, but at the moment I do not have faith in the bodies behind the decisions of Kickstarter.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I hope to see you all soon.
STATE OF AFFAIRS 2026
This US Independence Day I would just like to remind you all that CENSORSHIP SUCKS, the sitting Government here needs major change for the better, and we all could be doing a lot more to improve this country and the world in general. On a personal and professional note, I am currently at Day 7 of waiting for a decision from Kickstarter regarding my latest, ready-to-launch campaign, Rough Stuff #3. That's 6 days more (so far) than its ever taken thanks to hypocritical banks and politicians that have forced platforms like Kickstarter to enforce new rules regarding 'Adult Material' (meanwhile, the Epstein Files are a good example of how they like it while telling the rest of us 'porn bad').
Such is also the case for sales of back issues of AUTUMN MOON Comics, as I've been kicked off Etsy and now StorEnvy (after just one sale), which means I have to start looking AGAIN for someplace to sell the comics from online to you guys. I'm open to suggestions if you guys know how/where I can set up a store that doesn't get...redeacted.
Anyway, stay safe - new art coming soon.
AI 'Art' is NOT ART, children. In my groups and faves I do not allow ai generated slop scraped illegally and stolen from others' work by prompts and corporate data centers. You don't want to know why your post wasn't allowed, that's fine by me, but don't be an insulting prick just because you think ai's theft of art is somehow actually art. @deviantart does not actually protect, support, or help artists, and their allowance of ai is indicative of that fact.
I love how 'moral high ground' is enough to have my art removed (when it did NOT, in fact, break any rules) without discussion or ability to appeal... meanwhile this site is rampant with stolen art, Ai, and work that breaks the rules but doesn't get taken down. @deviantart Its time to do better. PS - Fuck whoever reported my art. Just fuck right off this backwards-ass platform.
