Portland-based illustrators Jolby are working on their first childrens' book entitled The King's Sixth Finger, a whimsical story about a king named Mortimer who is obsessed with the number 5.  Using the recently popular Kickstarter.com, Josh and Colby are hoping to publish the book with funds from pre-ordered copies and other donations.  During the three month funding period, backers will be sent exclusive sneak peaks and behind the scenes insight into their creative process.  Here's a sneak peak of King Mortimer himself (pre sixth finger).

Josh and Colby are co-writing the book with Rachel Roellke.  Knowing how talented these two are, I can't wait to receive my copy in the mail..!  If you'd like to pre-order the book, or just support the cause, visit their Kickstarter page here.
