How I Use Trello As A Comic Book Artist

Today, I’ll show you how I use Trello to track and manage all of my comics and projects!

I have been using Trello for two years now. It has been an absolute game-changer for me and how I organize my projects. If you’ve ever wondered how I’m able to make so many comics, give this a watch.

Members of my Art Club saw this video before it became public. If you would like to get early access to tutorials (and club-only downloads), join on my Subscribe page.

Ok, more shameless plugs time: you can read my webcomics, The Legend of Jamie Roberts AND Vanita and the Demon King online. Some other things I do, though, will be on hiatus. Here’s my update schedule for May.

Oh! If you’re in Toledo, OH, I’m at Toledo Game Room tomorrow (May 6) for Free Comic Book Day! I’ll have discounted merch and other cool stuff.

That’s all for now. Thanks for bearing with me and my shameless plugs. I gotta get back to packing boxes for Free Comic Book Day and the upcoming move.

Thank you for watching and reading!

You. Are. Awesome.

LIVE STREAM – Drawing and Vibing

On Feb 5 at 1 pm EST, I’m gonna draw…stuff. Let’s just vibe while we draw.

Keep an eye on this blog for a special announcement. I made a short comic for an anthology project, and it launches for crowdfunding tomorrow! More details to come.

In the meantime, let’s just draw, vibe, and chat.

That’s all for now. Thank you for watching!

The Worst Books I Read in 2022

Today, I talk about the worst books I read in 2022. There are novels, comics, and nonfiction books, but they all have one thing in common – I REALLY did not like them. Watch to find out why. All while I draw a page for my webcomic, The Legend of Jamie Roberts.

On a lighter note, check out my chat with Columbus Cartoon Coalition, talking about my favorite comics in 2022.

To karmically balance everything, I’ll do a follow-up video talking about my favorite books from 2022. Soon…

This video was edited with Olive, an open-source video editor. I recorded the timelapse with OBS Studio, which is also an open-source program. Plus I recorded the audio with Audacity, which is (you guessed it) open-source. Check out my “Resources” page for more info.

Don’t forget that my Pin Club is now open for new members to join! You have until Feb 6 to sign up and get the February Club Pin.

And since it got mentioned in the video – Be Not Apurred is available in my shop. Get them before they’re gone forever.

That’s all for now. Thanks for watching and reading!

LIVE STREAM – Let’s Draw Comics!

Today at 2 pm EST, join me on YouTube, Twitch, or Twitter! Feel free to lurk while I work on some pages for my webcomics!

In today’s live stream, I’m drawing pages for The Legend of Jamie Roberts, my genderqueer pirate webcomic. PLUS, I’m drawing some material for my new webcomic, Vanita and the Demon King! It’s about a demon king who crashes on the couch of a trans girl.

Vanita and the Demon King is still on Crowdfundr, by the way. Back it BEFORE JAN 31 at 11:59 pm EST to get some behind-the-scenes rewards, yo!

Thanks for tuning in.

You. Are. Awesome.

24-Hour Comic Day with #ComicBookJam

Join me, starting on Jan 7, 2023, at 11 am EST – for the 24-Hour Comic Day challenge! I’m joining the fantastic folks at Comic Book Jamboree with #ComicBookJam.

As a heads up – I WILL NOT be responding to the live chat during this challenge. Why? I signed up to do 24 pages in 24 hours. This will require my total concentration.

I WILL, however, be checking in once in a while. If you comment or act in bad faith, I will put you in time out or block you.

If you would like to see the other artists – or join the challenge – check out the Eventbrite page, as well!

That’s all for now. Thank you for watching!

You. Are. Awesome.
