Is a pen name worth it?
Pen names are useful to counteract social biases. Someone might not buy a fantasy book by Joanne Rowlking, but would from an author named J.K. Rowlking. So if you’re trying to sell a book and trying to avoid as much social stigma as possible (whether intentional biased or subconscious) then a Pen name works well to the goal. But if it’s to distinguish between your adult work and kids work, a pen name implies your ashamed of one of the bodies of works (either the kids or adult), and you do not wish to be associated with this certain part of your art. Stan Lee for instance took on the pen name Stan Lee because he was ashamed to work on comics (at the time he started) and didn’t want it to tarnish his dreamed profession of writing. (obviously not knowing at the time what his comics would turn into.) Neil Gaiman on the other hand writes children’s books, adult novels, and movies. He puts his name on everything because he’s proud of his creations and wants to be associated to all of them. Naturally this is my opinion as a comic creator, not necessarily right or wrong, but certainly valid food for thought.

When I get stressed I have to try things in my drawing that I’ve always wanted to try. Today I’m using gray paper, brush pens, and correction pens… I need to practice but I like the potential! #drawing #practice #experiment #brush #pen #whiteout #correction #gray #paper

Sketch Cover at Animazement
I know a small hand full of you are going to Animazement So i figured I’d make a special offer to you guys. If you’re going to Animazement and you’re planning to buy a sketch cover from me at the con, let me know in advance! Send me a private note or email. In that note give me your name and what you’d like me to sketch on your cover. I’ll do my best to get as many of these sketches done before the con. All you’ll have to do is step up, pay for it and I’ll hand it to you! Note however, that If you do not pick up your sketch cover by Sunday I will sell it to someone else. Also note, if you ask for a sketch cover and realize you cannot pick it up at the con, I will not sell it to someone else if you pay for it via PayPal before Sunday. How does that sound? Let me know if you have any questions. Send me a note if you want to take advantage of the deal! See you all this weekend!!

I'm an Indie Comic book artist. I've freelanced for mostly small companies as well as self publish my own comic. I get asked alot of questions on how I got into comics, how to draw, and/or how I started creating my own self published comic. As I'm answering these questions I'm finding most peoples create excuses for themselves. Something to justify the fact that they're not trying very hard. The truth is if you want to do something, ANYTHING, whether it's making comic books or being in the circus, there is no excuse for not perusing your dream. This blog will show work in progress, and tutorials on drawing and making comics in general, as well as feature some motivation to pursue your dreams and stop making excuses. I'll also be posting pages from my own self published comic to prove that I'm not a hypocrite and I practice what I preach. So lets Stop making excuses and start making comics!
