As part of a new short video series, here’s some words of encouragement and inspiration for you for these troubling times. I turn to this poem when things go dark. I find that it helps.
Let me know your favorite poems in the comments. Maybe I’ll read them aloud as part of this short series.
Here’s where you can read Follow the Leader online by Jonas McCluggage (otherwise known as Jonas Goonface). If you really like it, go to his Patreon page.
I mention this at the end of today’s video, but I’m considering cancelling Review Day Tuesdays and/or the YouTube video series altogether to focus more on making comics and art. But then again, I could show you how I MAKE said art and comics. Let me know your thoughts in the comments:
Should I continue Review Day Tuesdays? Should I make video about my art and comics instead? Or should I just make comics?
I have a few ideas (like, making videos showing how I make work) but be honest and let me know.
Also, if you’ve read Tank Girl or Follow the Leader, leave a comment and let me know what you thought!
So in today’s video, not only do I show off some new swag I got from the Wheeling Arts Festival last weekend, but I announce that my minicomics can now be found at a new shop!
If, however, you’re not in Wheeling, WV, Saint Clairsville, OH, or Chicago, IL, you can just order comics directly from me on Storenvy.
Today’s video features not only two watercolor paintings and a Thoughtful Dinosaur comic strip I’m making, but it also features a song I made.
This is the first song I’ve ever composed and made using a program called LMMS. The program is free to download if you want to give it a try for yourself.
Keep in mind, my musical background is from my days playing Taiko. If you want an idea of the kinds of songs I performed, here’s an example from a troupe I was a part of. That’s why, for the first song, it’s pretty much exclusively drum sounds.
Why am I painting two watercolor paintings? Find out…NEXT TIME.
Today’s vlog is all about comparing House Girls to Mare Internum, and why I think House Girls succeeds on more levels.
You can read House Girls on the Stela app for iOS, where it updates weekly, and read Mare Internum online. Read both and decide for yourself which one you like.
