Computer fundraising project

As suggested by others I have decided to start a fund raising project to help buy a replacement computer. At first I wanted to use a website like kickstarter.com (US only) but then I found out about a few others that are internationl fundraising sites, such as indiegogo.com. which is the one I ended up going with.

I now have my own project set up there which is running for a month and a half and will try to raise $1500 to replace my old computer that died last week unexpectedly. In exchange for donations you will receive various levels of rewards.
Check out the project page for all the details

Which is not suitable when you need real screen tones for something like screen printing. Creating greys First open the artwork you want to add screen tones to; Be sure that this a

Make your Comic into an ePub

Last year I started experimenting with making ePubs in Pages. I had previously dabbled in hand coding epubs in 2015 using open source software like Calibre and Sigil. Sometime in 2018 Apple announced that their software Apple Pages can now export not only into a fixed layout  epub. Perfect for comics and other forms of picture based books.

New beginning

Now that things are starting to settle down in the household with Zoey (our 3 month old), I am starting to think of some ways that I can start up my drawing habit again. I have a few projects that I would like to get up and running again, the most pressing being the third installment of my four issue subscription series. The break has been a good time to reflect of new directions and thoughts on my comic work. There are two new developments I am looking forward to getting started on, My composition writing book I made a decision to keep a separate book for writing, which includes both my notes and comics. I used to have a Mead composition book that I picked up in Canada on my first trip in 2001! The thing I like about these books (other than their pop culture significance) is the they have a hard card cover and the binding is sewn which make them durable. I also like anything that you know will remain consistent. If I start using these books for writing I can line them up evenl
