Just a reminder: There will be a new Sequential Artists’ Pub show this Friday at 10PM EST on Talkshoe. There’s been some good conversation happening in the SAP message board, if you want to get some insight into our panel discussions.

Sequential Artists’ Pub #8 now available
This episode was all kinds of awesome. I particularly liked the speech that Jerzy Drozd made about how the art and writing in comics are inseparable.
Sequential Artists’ Pub Tonight
This month’s album art is courtesy of DungeonWarden. Bring your favorite beverage and see you this evening at 10PM EST on Talkshoe.com.
Here are some of the topics of interest we’ll be talking about in our 8th episode:
- Our Favorite Tools / Tips / Tricks (aka What’s in YOUR arsenal?)
- Starting a strip ( should one start with random gags and progress towards story arcs? i.e. what’s the best approach? )
- The Artist / Writer Balance (does excelling in one detract from the other?)
- Marketing
Art and Story’s Big Contest
About a week or so ago, I entered a comic for Art and Story’s Big Contest. Art and Story is a weekly podcast in which two comics creators discuss their craft and try to wrap their brains around the larger issues of their chosen artform. They are published creators. They also self-publish, and they make webcomics. One is Mark Rudolf, and the other is Jerzy Drozd.
I didn’t win anything in the contest (winners were chosen at random), but you can see my submission on the Big Contest Page.
Fruits of the Week’s Social Labors
You can see the Jam I participated in on Thursday at http://www.cartoonistconspiracy.com/conspire/?p=702
.
And you can listen to the Sequential Artist’s pub (recordered on Friday night) at http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/20378. I pretty much have one question for our special guest, Steve Hamaker. I asked him about image file backups because working in IT has made me paranoid about system failures and data loss.
