Hi All,

I’m going to come right out and say it: this post is a hodge-podge. Whats that mean? It means your brain will literally be assaulted by interesting and varying news bits. But don’t be alarmed! Just take it slow, read it through twice and after you’re done, close your eyes a while and just ponder these jewels of data.

Last time I briefly touched on Kameleo.com and their online comic tutorials. Thanks to a link in Caleb Monroe’s blog I found another website for the other half of comic creating: AKA publishing. Indy Comic News is a brand new website designed to help comic creators and indy publishers get their work out into the public eye. Yup, I’m talking about marketing. The site offers pre-sale listings, press release information, publisher listings and a section dedicated to “New this Month” as well as a comic of the month. Its a great idea and strives to get the word out about our trade.

A couple of Parabler’s have stuff that needs voted on as well. Sally Thompson has two sets up on Don’t Panic that, if successful, will be turned into little Momiji dolls. (they’re message dolls) I don’t think I can describe them very well, you’ll have to check them out yourself. Find her sets here and here.

Mike Laughead has a shirt (which I hope needs no explanation) up on Threadless. It’s pretty amazing so anyone who hasn’t voted, should. check it out here and in the preview below.

This is also awesome. I can’t help myself, I have to post a link to it here. Just… well, who doesn’t like Spiderman? And… popsicle sticks? Don’t worry, follow the link, you’ll see. Created by Josh Alves
