Hey there, I hope you’re doing well. This is just a brief reminder that you can follow the progress of the new comic Cursiveon Patreon, until it’s finished and posted here. It’s available on the free tier, so you can get updates via app if you want, or on email. Also available there, are the series of Hourly Comics I did this year.
I added a link to my new RedBubble shop. You can find stickers, tote bags, posters, dress-shirts and more, with art from the comics, including this new “Give me Targeted Ads” sticker for your laptop:
This from a new comic in progress, called, by now, “How to step out of the picture”. It’s slightly longer than other “bullet list” comics I’ve made, but still a short comic. There are a few more panels on Patreon, that I’m sharing as they’re finished.
With Halloween on the horizon, I want to let you know in advance about the portraits I do of Patreon subscribers, during October.
As every year, instead of Inktober, I’ll be doing this: illustrating my kind supporters (or their friends) as some kind of creature of the night. Subscribers of any tier can get a portrait! This means you can ask for a drawing for as low as a pledge of $1/month
I try to have a different theme each time.
The theme for this year will be put to vote soon. When you join my Patreon, even if it’s for just a few months, you are helping me make more of my weird comics of The Secret Knots series, free for all to read. Your support is highly treasured in these uncertain times! Thanks a lot.
The comic collection I’ve been calling (mostly in my mind) the Lydia Ray Magazineis out now on DriveThru comics! And it’s doing good so far. It includes 3 comics with this character, that I’ve shared on this very website before, but they have been reformatted and re-lettered to look nice in the comic book format of this PDF. It also features a section with extras: sketches and inspiration notes, that have only been posted on Patreon exclusive posts so far. Here’s a direct link to buy this comic; all sales (and reviews) help me get visibility in this comic market, and get to new readers. Thanks a lot!
Hello! I’m setting up a small newsletter for notifications of new comics and other blog updates. This is my first attempt at integrating a newsletter for this site, so apologies in advance if something doesn’t work out right immediately. Also, feel free to let me know about any issues. Thanks! Here’s the signup form:
Work notes: A full Dossier for the Basil Hallward comic is publicly available on Patreon, with sketches, concepts, photo references and more. If you enjoy taking a look at the odd and always unpredictable process of ideas taking form, as I do,it’s now free to access.
The comic has been doing well on Tumblr and here in the web version. The Tumblr version is modified to fit better most mobile formats, although I had to split it in two parts due to native restrictions there, and also because you don’t want to put an endless scroll in followers’ dahsboard (and then expect them to reblog said scroll). It’s slightly webtoonised it order to fit that format, but that’s nothing new here. It’s been several years since I’ve had to find a middle ground between traditional page format characteristics and scrolling format for my comics, and some stories benefit even further from passing progressively in front of the reader’s eyes. I guess a full conversion for this comic could have implied separating the shots of the actress Dita Lanner passing one by one on the screen for a cool motion pictures trick, but that’s an afterthought, and sounds like a full immersion exercise in webtoon format. Which is not to say that I shouldn’t try something like that some time…
