My Target Tattoo

Artists dream of having their work discussed, debated, interpreted... and I realized, for better or worse, this might be one of the most successful cartoons I've ever made in that regard. Some additional thoughts in the link

Perhaps you have seen some of my cartoon essays and gag strips floating around online, but did you know that I also maintain a Monthly Minicomic Club? That's right, every single month I mail a brand-new self-published minicomic or 'zine out to my members, each copy is signed, and arrive with additional extras and bonuses available only to members at the print level. I've been doing it for almost three years now, so feel confident claiming that you can sign up and rest-assured you are going to get your comics every month, guaranteed. There's a single flat-fee, no additional shipping charges, and international members are welcome.

"Self-Publishing is a power, it's a gift. You can put whatever you want into your own 'zines and minicomics, absolutely nobody can tell you no. Tell your story, don't worry that it's not "good" enough, make it anyway. Self-Publishing is a power."

I believe in the power of self-publishing and D.I.Y. now more than ever.
