Well, I'm usually not the type to introduce myself in forums, but I suppose I'll give it a try, since it's apparently the polite thing to do. I guess I always just thought I'd be wasting people's time with introductions, but I'll follow etiquette today. So hello, everyone.

Anyway (don't so many second paragraphs in forum posts start with that word?), I do, in fact draw a webcomic called Gin and the Devil. It's one of those semi-autobiographical things that seem to be leaving a bad taste in people's mouths lately. It's also all I've got to show for three and a half years of art school. Ah, well.

My hobbies include drawing, drinking, and taking long walks on the beach with that special no one.

When I was little, my mom used to tell me, "You're not cute or funny." But I try.

There's a new interview with the creator of Achewood, Chris Onstad, where he talks a little bit about adapting to fan (and detractor) interaction:

You get used to hate mail and love mail and smart mail and thoughtful mail and kid mail and all of that. You develop a crucial thick skin. I doubt Keith Richards gets pissed off when people say he's ugly, to him that's just ambient noise. I'm used to people saying that Achewood is horrible, but I'm also used to people who write in to Ray's advice column with genuinely traumatic personal problems that they shouldn't be asking a cartoon cat.

Anyone who's fielded a lot of feedback email can probably attest to the truth of that. When your inbox gets pounded every day with love, hate and just plain ham-handed pleas for attention, you have to develop a sort of detachment over time or you'll have a nervous breakdown.

Hey all,

Here is the first completed art piece for episode 4 of our online comic Green: Wicked Wicked Ways over at www.gutterflycomix.com

We are trying to post progress pieces up on our site as we go along to try and give our readers an idea of what we get done each day. All of this was done in Adobe Illustrator 9 over hand drawn art. Let us know what ya think and thanks for looking.

In a recent article, the journal Editor and Publisher highlights Comic Sherpa as a tool to getting noticed by more people and possibly publishers. The Sherpa is a listing service whereby creators can submit their works for $9.95 a month (or $99.00 a year) for the privilege on being posted alongside an established professional syndication site, uComics.com, beside such classics as Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes.

What happens when you combine aliens, high-powered ammunition, and hundreds of rubber duckies in a seriously enclosed space—with a seriously cracked crew? Miles from help, the crew of the Apollo 9 has to deal with the wackiest threat yet!
Apollo 9 is a weekly anthro comic with over 40 pages in their archives.

I found this and I can't belive this is actually true. All replies with questions/comments should be directed to the one posted at the end of the articles.

Transcripts from chats will be released shortly, if you want to add your comments and you talked to Jennifer(on aim), contact me by my e-mail.
