Deviation Actions
As much as I enjoy comments on my work (of which there are none here!) I do find it annoying that people see my work here and contact me privately to offer me work drawing 120-150 pages graphic novels...and I draw them for nothing!!
I'm a professional -I can vote in the Harvey Awards fer cryin' out loud!
I also like the added "then we can work on one to submit to a publisher" -WTF??? So the 150 pager is for the writer to show off to his friends that he's written and had drawn a graphic novel? Oy.
And do not be put off contacting me because you've heard I'm some "big name artist/publisher" (as one person was told). Feel free to contact me for packaging a comic, writing or drawing comics but remember I need to eat and pay bills and I'm not getting any younger....I needs paying!

The Right to Vote
I'm going to do a poll once a month about which characters I should be focusing on. This is your chance to have a say in what's coming down the tube and let me know which stories you like best. Essentially, you get to pick what comes next. Power to the reader.

No More Journal Entries
I am stopping posting journal entries here. I decided to try writing these in 2013 and since that time not a single comment or like -in fact I doubt anyone has even read them! Cutting back on that aspect of things means I have more free time so....hang on....no one will read this anyway""

Comics -The Creators ALWAYS Get The Bad Deal
The one thing I have learnt in publishing, particularly comics, is that the creator is the person who always gets screwed over. Did I start out thinking that I was going to be the new Kirby? John Buscema or Sal Buscema? Of course not. I am not that good. I just loved comics and my intention back in the late 1970s was to be a publisher of Independent comics. I bought rights to characters and got royally screwed with that in some cases but things were going fairly well until I found myself writing scripts and having people ask if I could draw a 3-4pp strip to fill in a Small Press publication. That was how it worked up until the mid 1990s and Small Pressers kept in touch by letter or phone. I once put the word out that I needed a 4pp strip to complete an issue and within two weeks I had 20pp sent in. We all helped each other out and only ever expected a "Thanks" and copy of the zine in question. The one thing the internet did was not just destroy real comic fandom but it killed the
1st August and...Book prices increase 'wonderful'
Rheumatoid arthritis crippling the hands, fibromyalgia racking the old bod (I said "racking the old bod" not "rocking"), eyes fecked and online tech problems then I get this in my email: Dear Lulu User, Effective 1 August 2021, there will be an update to our pricing. This affects any new projects created and printed after the effective date. An overview of these updates is below: Our print facilities have experienced an increase in all areas of the supply chain over the last 12 months and we’ve done our best to absorb as much of them as we can. Manufacture rates across all product types have been updated, which represents an average price increase of 8.5%. Existing projects will not experience the pricing update unless a revision is made or the price is edited by you. Thank you for your continued support as we help your books reach customers across the globe! In case this is all new to you it isn't to me or people who use print on demand (POD). Irt has happened five times
