These are some of the generous patrons that funded Clockwork Watch: The Arrival, our first graphic novel. One of the perks in our crowdfunding campaign was to sketch them as characters in the book.

Name The Patron & Win
Clockwork Underworld at Make Believe Festival 2013
Years since the onset of the Dark Winter, and society is finally getting to grips with living in smoke. A lifetime of burning fuels to power the big mechanical machines, coupled with diverse weather conditions created a deadly pea-souper that plunged the world into darkness. The British resolve has crumbled, ironically not through invasion, war or starvation, but by the yellow sickly smelling fog that has choked life out of 50,000 people, and closed down industry.
The battle lines are drawn. Clockwork Underworld is the only place left where many feel free; people plot against the governments new Clockwork Servant regulations, ‘backstreet skin-job’ technicians show off the new generation of Clocks Prostitutes, Victorian gentlemen & ladies visit The Den to ‘chase the dragon’, and liberated Clocks launch a crusade to free fellow automatons from servitude. It’s also where a newly formed police force set up shop to impose a new world order…
Join us in the realm of make believe at the Clockwork Underworld – your wildest dreams may just come true.
Rev Dagada in Breakaway
Surprised to see Rev Dagada sipping a green liquid in a Clockwork ‘Juice Bar’.
Another one of our patrons sketched into a scene in Clockwork Watch: Breakaway.
One of the rewards of creating a project like Clockwork Watch is being able to sketch our patrons into our story. Our objective is to inspire them to participate in the make believe we’re creating.
Our online world is a sandpit where you can interact with the narrative, contribute to an alternate history, and propose creative adjustments to the Clockwork Watch story universe.

Join us for the Clockwork Watch: Breakaway launch party at the Make Believe Festival, in London on May 3rd 2013.
Our next book features two stories and artists. Clockwork Watch: Breakaway – the continuation of The Arrival by artist Jennie Gyllblad, the other a new story called “Tick-Tock IPA” by Valia Kapadai, which is a fictional take on a series of real life events, British Industry and the surprise emergence of something that has become a global phenomenon.
Both stories are written by Yomi Ayeni, and Corey Brotherson.
We’re delighted to welcome artist Valia Kapadai (@valium_ ) to the Clockwork Watch team. She’s working on a major story arc in our transmedia story. More details soon…
We”d like to share a quote from someone who has gone through some of the turmoil we’re experiencing, yet now has four Academy Award nominations for his film “Beasts of the Southern Wild.”
“The mentality for our feature was always that we were going to make the film, no matter what. There was never this thing where we were going to write the script and then wait till someone gave us the money. It was always we’re going to make it, and here’s the starting date. If we get the money we’ll make it bigger. If we don’t get the money we’ll shoot it with our cellphones.” – Benh Zeitlin (Director, Beasts of the Southern Wild)
Thanks for your continued support.
