Oops... I Arted!

On this weblog I will post cartoon strips, drawings, one panel cartoons, sketches, and updates on the Lubbock comics community. I hope to get feedback, increase my artistic skills, and get 'those' ideas out of my head. Feel free to critique me.

There I sat all broken hearted,
tried to draw but only Arted.
Now I choose not to sweat it,
I can Art and not regret it.

Small Comic, Big Hit at West Texas Comic Con!



Quite the unexpected and amazing thing happened, I didn't get to finish the comic I originally wanted to do for the Con.

Instead, I had 4 days, half finished pencils and a basic idea about how I was going to proceed. I printed about 40 and sold out within 4 hours! And better yet, people heard about the comic from others and wanted more. Just amazing.

A super-mini comic is what I call it, one of the world's smallest comics produced. The idea itself was a selling point, but I hope the content is what ends up being the thing people like the most about it.

It's a tiny inspirational title that can be bought for half a dollar. A full 24-page comic, 1 inch by 1 inch. With readable text and recognizable art.

There are a few bugs to work out, but I like the results so far. There is even the idea of selling them via a vending machine, in those little bubble containers. Cool possibilities.

I'm not sure what the next one will be, or when it will be produced. But I do know that this has been a great learning experience for me. Not only the convention experience itself, but also the month leading up to it.

Priorities are making themselves clear. More to come.

I hope you are well.

24 hour comic, complete...well sort of.

I organized a 24 hour comic event for Lubbock and the Sketch Club. It was tiring and a lot of fun.

I can really see where this group is headed, and I'm looking forward to seeing the results of all our efforts.

I finished 8 pages of my 24 hour comic, which is 3 hours per page. Not bad considering I haven't made a comics page in like, forever.

I plan on finishing the story and publishing it for our upcoming convention. The Lubbock Comic Book Expo is gonna be so cool.

If you don't know anything about it check out the Sketch Club website:

There will be far more info about it in the coming weeks.
