Y’all, May is the month of Nib and Ink Fest – an online festival organized and run by the Cartoonist Co-op to celebrate comics!
We had the opening ceremony and the Minicomic Awards. There are tons of other programming happening now, from portfolio reviews to panels.
In fact, I ran a panel on Sunday, called “Tabling At Conventions for Beginners”! The panel is available on YouTube for replay:
Are you an artist who just got accepted in an artist alley? Have no idea what you’re doing? Then check out this video! There is also a very robust Q&A session afterward included in the recording.
This Saturday I’m running another panel, called “How To Make a Newsletter Your Fans Love to Read.” I’ll make a separate blog post for that one later this week.
I’m not the only one running panels, either – topics include Supporting Creatives With Jobs You’ve Never Heard About, What Art School Didn’t Teach You (all about the business side of art), and (I’m I’m excited to tune in for) Having Fun with Backgrounds and RSS & You.
Be sure to tune in for these workshops! They will all be livestreamed on YouTube and Zoom. If you want to participate in livechats, you have to watch on Zoom. All Zoom links and panels – and shops and more! – are on the official Nib & Ink Fest website.
That’s all for now. Thank you for watching and reading!
You. Are. Awesome.
