Watchers

OK true believers, What Elsewhere strips do you like the most? The everyday live stuff or the big adventure comics? Looking at old strips and am amazed at how good they were at doing nothing (But being funny at the same time).

Buying Art or Commissioning Art

Journal Entry: Fri Aug 3, 2012, 12:11 PM
OK, big changes in my life cause me to NEED to bring in some extra money. So If you are enjoying please consider opening your hearts (and wallets) and getting something or making a donation. I am,

• Taking Commissions (anything you see I can do different for you, I well versed at caricature and cartooning and I can copy other styles fairly well)
• Selling print and such through Deviant Art
• Selling Elsewhere comics Issue #1 and #2 and bumper sticker.

I am also thinking of starting a Kick Start or something similar to try and get to a few comic shows. Low end rewards would be the comic issues, bumper stickers and sketches and higher up may be a Elsewhere reprint book, animation style cell or color art, maybe even a guess spot in the comic strip.

Suggestions for other ideas are welcome.

  • Mood: Gloomy
  • Listening to: Beatles, Elvis and Bowie
  • Reading: Comics and bills
  • Watching: Gotchaman, Big Bang, and Red Dwarf
  • Playing: With My Kids when I'm with them.
  • Eating: Needs to be healthier
  • Drinking: Too Much Caffeine

Oh I just got my first post banned. I'm a bad boy. I said "I'm an artist and a bad boy". I expect my door to be beaten down by a bunch of girls at any moment :)
