Last but not least: Advertisers launch the "other" children's book
Ludek Martschini (illustrations) and Andreas Troxler (text), both of whom run their own advertising agencies in Lucerne, want to launch a «different» children’s book. They are looking for 150 supporters for this project.
The story revolves around a clumsy horndog. He leaves home when he accidentally knocks over a bucket of water. There is a shortage of water in the village. So his mishap is all the worse. Not his first. After another incident, he decides not to be a burden to anyone and leaves home. In the nearby forest, he encounters the cheeky little fellow, who sets a trap for him. They become friends and set out to solve the mysterious riddle of the great drought in the village.
The book is to be financed via crowdfunding and supporters who each support the project with 50 francs. They need 150 supporters, i.e. 7,500 francs for an initial print run of 300 copies. Anyone who would like to support the two can do so on their website, among other places, and will receive an invitation to the vernissage with a culinary feast and live drawing by Ludek Martschini, as well as a limited edition of the children's book "Hornochs & Frechdachs" when the project is realized. Potential printing and publishing partners are currently being evaluated.
The project is also linked to Facebook. Interested parties can also support the children's book by purchasing a Hornochs supporter T-shirt. The exact design will follow. But if you've always wanted to stroll through the Christmas shopping zones with a newly created design on your clothes, it will look something like this:
has here the opportunity to do so.
