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.
As I’m writing this, I have three online storefronts – one on Storenvy, one on Gumroad, and one on Society6. Storenvy is where I list my convention swag, like books, prints, and minicomics. Gumroad is for digital downloads, and Society6 is for print-on-demand things like T-shirts. These are not including Patreon, a platform that lets folks pledge monthly in exchange for rewards.
I’ve been thinking, planning, plotting, scheming, and stroking my cats in my not-evil lair, thinking of ways to simplify things so I have only one storefront and a Patreon page.
Here’s what I’ve concluded – after watching how well the shops are doing, I’m going to transition more and more things over… to Storenvy.
