  • On Writing

    So to continue my pulling tips from my favorite books on creativity I am going to look back on “On Writing” by Stephen King.  One of my favorites.  I have read most of Mr. King’s books (certainly those in the last 20 years), and I have gone back to some of the older classics.  I…

  • Artist Outings

    So a few years ago, I read “The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creative” by Julia Cameron.  It was one of the many books I have read and try to take bits and pieces of, to improve my art and creativity. One thing I have been focusing on more is the “artist outings”.…

  • The End of a Kickstarter, a moment to relax, then back to making comics!

    So today is the first day in 31 days I don’t have to look at funding, or work to get funding for our kickstarter.  It’s a moment to relax, but not to stop, making comics for me never stops. I was able to hit my funding goal a day before the kickstarter closed.  And that…

  • The Last Few Crazy Days of Running a Kickstarter!

    So I am in my last few days of my kickstarter, hang on one second I need to refresh my kickstarter page. (Joking)  I feel like I survived the dead zone in the middle, and things are picking up.  I am closing in on 75 percent funded and 130 backers. And feeling pretty good, this…

  • The Ups and Downs of Running a Kickstarter

    5 day’s ago I launched my 3rd Kickstarter for “The Reset” There is excitement of the launch and the joy of that notification you have a new backer. But there is also the dread and panic when it seems to stall out. I am going to be a little honest here in this post, I…

  • Writing Dialogue

    My Comics Experience course on writing a one shot is nearly at it’s last session.  Our assignment is to add dialogue to our 20 page stories.  I have most of it done, but I few pages to go.  And I planing on doing a lot editing (another thing I need to improve on,  I love…

  • Using Different Panels for Contrast

    Continuing my class with Comics Experience we had a more of an art focused session, as a writing course you might feel that this was a bit strange.  But it was two fold, one to allow us as writers a better understanding of the terms, so we can communicate what we hope to tell with…

  • Subtext
