I've been doing a bit of sorting and have decided to move Oddewulf, my 12th century werewolf comic, over to the main RLF site. It used to be on Smackjeeves, but that version long ago fell into disrepair. &nbs > read more

Pernicious Penography

Published on 2011-01-11 19:59:00

Think I've got this ACEO thing down! Caran D'ache was the answer. The funny thing is that I've had a set of Caran D'ache sitting here for literally twenty years....and yet when I go to use them, they work just fine! Now that is a quality art supply. > read more

I took the plunge and got a copy of Cash for Cartoonists. It's an ebook by DJ Coffman...well, more like an epamphlet. It's an interesting read. He takes a look at ways he's used to make money as an artist. Currently I do not > read more
