Back Up Soon

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

If anyone new is checking out this site after having talked to me at the Stumptown Comics Fest, I thought I should put this post here so you don’t get scared off by the last post. This site will be updated again starting next week, so please check back.

Sorry, I’m Out

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Those of you regularly checking the site may have noticed that there was no print last week, and hasn’t been one this week. I haven’t had the time to post about it, but I’ve made the difficult decision to end the Weekly Print challenge (something my prideful and incredibly stubborn personality feels horrible about), but the site will go on.

Currently, I am a full-time student, and work as a freelance illustrator/designer, comic book artist, and printmaker on top of the work I was doing for this site. I was doing a bit of personal assessment last week and amongst a few other smaller things, the biggest issue that made me decide to end the challenge was that the time restraints were, on occasion, making me release prints of a quality that I has not 100% proud of. It’s also interesting to note that those same prints seem to be the ones that y’all don’t care for either, just in terms of sales (or lack thereof).

So, what does this mean for the site? Before I started the site, I was printing something nearly every week anyways, so I’m going to start covering all the different things I print, whether it be art prints, t-shirts, comic book covers, product packaging, what have you, and I will go into the process of planning and printing those things more frequently. I also want to keep doing the DIY informational posts, and am in the middle of getting one together right now. So, in short, the site will be a lot more coverage into the life and methods of someone that does a lot of screenprinting, not merely a vehicle for art prints.

So, I hope you keep coming back to the site, the prints that have been completed will stay up for sale, as will any future art prints released through the site. Thanks for all the positive support regarding the Weekly Print challenge, I’m sorry I could not complete it as planned, but I hope that you will enjoy the prints I release from here on out even more.
