The Future of Comicons: A Livestream Panel
SATURDAY, July 25. 1 pm to 3 pm EST. On my YouTube Channel.
Join us as my buddies Ben WH and C. Beranek and I discuss the future of comicons. All 3 of us have been a part of the comicon scene for years, as vendors and attendees. With everything that’s happening right now, we’ll be discussing our ideas of what the future could look like.
What do you think will be the future of comicons? What would you like to see happen? Let us know in the comments!
Taking A Break From Livestreaming
I’m taking a short break from livestreaming.
Right now I have a LOT of work to catch up on (including behind-the-scenes stuff for Validation, NeverEnding, and The Legend of Jamie Roberts). After that…
Well, after that I want to run these streams differently.
For one thing, I’m going to bring the schedule down to doing one new stream a month.
For another thing, I’ll be doing giveaways during these monthly livestreams – I’m still sitting on a LOT of books and art.
Also, I want to do more than just drawing live. With convention season and workshops not being things for the foreseeable future, I would like to do more tutorial livestreams.
Just to spitball some ideas, these are the sorts of workshops, panels, etc I would be participating in during convention season. Let me know which of these topics you’d like me to talk about in next month’s livestream:
- How to Make Webcomics
- LGBTQ representation in comics
- How to Make a Minicomic
- Character Design That’s Awesome
In the meantime, I’ll be taking a break from posting online (stream or otherwise) until the week of July 15. But I’ll be in the comments…lurking…
Anyway – thank you for reading!
You. Are. Awesome.
Orc Wizards and Patrons – A LiveStream
Now available as a replay! Watch me draw an orc wizard, talk up Patreon, and have a chat with surprise guest, Seeing Him co-creator Kia!
This episode does run for about 2 and a half hours. It ran extra long because a) I wanted to keep drawing, and b)…
There’s no livestream next week.
I’m getting ready to move to my new apartment June 1. So no livestream on May 30. Streams should resume on June 6. If that changes, I will make posts here and on social media to let you know.
Adventures in Moving – A Change in the Schedule
Because of my adventures in moving, I need to let you know early (and maybe often) that there will be a change in the schedule.
Here’s what’s happening:
- The Freelance Lifestyle blog post series is going to be paused until June.
- Writing for Comics 101 will be on pause until June, as well.
- The Legend of Jamie Roberts MIGHT have some scheduling hiccups. (More on this below.)
- There will be a livestream on May 23. But…
- No livestreams will happen May 30.
I’m moving to my new apartment on June 1. We’ll see how quickly things can get back on track after that.
“But wait!” You might be thinking. “You said there might be scheduling hiccups with The Legend of Jamie Roberts! I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED FOR GENDERQUEER PIRATES!”
First, thank you for being so enthusiastic for my adventure story of a genderqueer pirate and their two best friends treasure-hunting in a land of dragons and spirits.
Despite my best efforts, though, I don’t have much in the way of pages made ahead of schedule as buffer. Plus, Beefy McMuscleton – my devoted HP Officejet 7612 printer and scanner – has been forced to retire. So my workflow in making future pages of Jamie Roberts is going to get an overhaul. A decidely digital overhaul…
A bit sooner than expected, actually. I hoped I could stretch the process I’ve been using to the end of Chapter 3, and THEN go full digital in Chapter 4. But it looks like the full-digital comics-making process transition is happening sooner.
Because of this transition, and the move to the new apartment, updates on The Legend will MAYBE not happen once a week on Wednesdays. I will do my best to hold to this weekly-update promise! But I make no guarantees.
Stay tuned to the blog here for further updates.
That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!
You. Are. Awesome.
