Collaboration is one of the biggest thing that drew me into working with comics. When I first started down this path, I thought to myself, "It will be nice not to work alone all the time." See, when I was in college, working on writing short stories, and one day a full novel, I learned… Continue reading Comic Book Collaboration

Recently, I turned 25. In the weeks that followed, I've had some pretty long reflection sessions and a few changes in attitude. I guess once you get smack into the middle of your 20s, things start to look different. Well, this prompted a longer than usual Facebook post from myself about time. That is, my… Continue reading Time to Succeed

Last blog post saw me talking about comics that went beyond the genre of super hero. The whole time I was writing that, I found myself wanting to delve into each series that popped into my head, and it almost got me off topic frequently. So, I decided that this time I would specifically take… Continue reading More Than Capes Pt. II

Let me start by saying that I have nothing against super hero comics. In fact, I still enjoy quite a few. I'm only writing this entry to highlight to readers that there are other genres to choose from. As Scott McCloud once said, people often confuse the genre for the medium. That is, they think… Continue reading More Than Capes

I have lived in central Ohio my entire life, and it was only just this last weekend that I went to the Billy Ireland Cartoon Museum. If you're not from Ohio, it's a museum dedicated to comics and cartoonists. And, for anyone wondering, it's my new favorite museum. During my trip I got to see… Continue reading Billy Ireland Cartoon Museum

Tabling at conventions is one of my favorite things to do. For a day or two I can finally settle into my true environment: the comic book scene. Conventions bring together creators big and small, and for a small press creator, gets your work out there to the almighty reader. Now, all of this being… Continue reading On Tabling

So, as you might recall, last blog post I mentioned that I'd talk about the benefits of web comics sometime. Well, that time has come. Phew, didn't have to wait to long. I remember last time I caught myself veering off into the topic of making web comics, but it's better if I can give… Continue reading Web Comics

Well, you've done it! You've made a comic. You wrote it, drew it, inked it, colored it, and lettered it! Woo, I'm out of breath now. Anyway, I'm proud of you, it's a tough process, I know. So, what happens when you're done with all of that? You publish it! I understand, it sounds pretty… Continue reading Making Comics Epilogue

So, we have continued the odyssey that is making comics, and here we are: coloring. I will tell you up front that coloring is probably what I have the least experience with (coloring comics, anyway), so I'm still working it all out, even as I write this. The first thing you have to think about… Continue reading Making Comics Part 4-Coloring

Boy howdy. Since you're reading this, it means that I'm still alive. For a while, it didn't feel like I would be. See, I recently put together a mini comic con. You might think to yourself, "A mini comic con? That's easy." But you would be wrong! It kept me up at night! Anyway, I'm… Continue reading Putting Together a Con
