MSCA GCT Art Show Info Update
Okay, good news/bad news…
Bad news first– since there’s been an increase of COVID the art show at the Germantown Community Theatre has been delayed a bit.
The good news– that gives anyone who wanted to participate but ran out of time a chance for a few more weeks to get their art completed and turned in.
“Priced To Sell- Or Sit..?” – New Drawing Funny Podcast Episode
New “Drawing Funny” episode is available- listen online here or most anywhere you like to download podcasts.
“How much is that art in the window?” In this solo episode I discuss pricing and selling– or not selling my art, and what some folks have thought about the prices I charge and if my work is worth the cost. I’ve talked before about how I got into drawing funny for a living and how I’ve set up at conventions and art shows, but really haven’t mentioned why I charge what I do for my sketchcards, sketchcovers, paintings, prints, tees and more. I also talk a bit more on how I create my own art, where I’ve sold it over the years, and what expenses I’ve experienced. Plus if you’ve wondered what exactly is a sketchcard and/or a sketchcover, wanted to know how to get into doing them, or how much they pay- I talk about that as well. Continue reading

“It’s Showtime!” – New Strange and Unusual Drawing Funny podcast episode
Show Notes: This episode is our 1 year anniversary show, and man what a strange trip and unusual year the first season has been- pandemic, snowpocalypse, layoffs, new job at Area 51, new equipment, learning curves, and lots of comic conversations! For the first episode of our second season I share some MSCA member news, what art projects I’ve been working on recently (RRParks Cards Halloween sketchcards and Grogu/”Baby Yoda” sketchcover), some of the podcasts I listen to, and my thoughts on self-publishing and some of the comics industry publisher news I’ve heard about on the interwebs. Continue reading

From MSCA member and “The Good, The Bad, and the Sketchy” editor/publisher, Dale Martin…
Greetings, comic readers & art fans! I hope your fall (or your “autumn”, as the case may be) has gotten off to a good start! And not as busy as the start of mine… Continue reading
New Drawing Funny Episode- “Play It Forward”
New “Drawing Funny” podcast episode is available to listen to.
This episode is about “paying it forward” and some of the posts I recently ran across in the “I CREATE COMIC BOOKS” Facebook group and my responses to them. I’ve gotten a lot of help from others over the years, and I hope that this podcast helps anyone wanting to learn more about creating comics, and the business of promoting them. I mention some of the folks who helped me out along my art journey and touch on some of my art-anxiety, drawing-depression, professional-jealousy, and impostor-syndrome experiences. Continue reading
