If you want a deluxe 20 page physical copy of my comic The Deal, it's on IndyPlanet. I printed a few from Ka-blam.com, and followed their process so it could be sold on their platform IndyPlanet. So, after several months of waiting, it's available now if you want to pick up a physical copy of The Deal, follow the link below!

Anybody sell their own creator owned physical comics? If so, where do you do it? I know I would be interested for me, because I'd like to sell my own comics, but I also like knowing where to look for other Newgrounds artists as well.

I'm so glad to see more comics here on Newgrounds. If you missed it, The Sweet Sixteen Comic Contest really encouraged a bunch of talented comic makers to put their work here on Newgrounds, and we are all better for it. I was lucky enough to win 2nd Place with my comic The Deal.

The idea for The Deal has existed for a while, but like so many projects it sat untouched for a long time without a clear direction or motivation. I owe a big debt to Kittyhawkmontrose for giving my idea for a comic a reason and a place to live. Also, what an amazing Idea to make an award ceremony comic!

As for my upcoming work, I'm working on a few different projects. The 4th issue of Pico and the Portal is coming along. I've also been working on a few new stories in the same universe as The Deal. I haven't landed on titles yet, but they will all be standalone stories that share some themes. I really like the stories I've laid out, now I just have to find the time to draw them.

I am grateful for the whole Newgrounds community. If you're reading this, tucked away into this little corner of the wide world, know that I'm grateful for you. This time of year is full if joy for many, and sorrow for some. To those in joy, may you hold it close. To those in sorrow, may light find you in your darkness. I am grateful to share this little corner of the internet with you. Merry Christmas Newgrounds!

Here are a few of my favorite comics right now on Newgrounds.

I'm so grateful to Tom and all the guys who worked hard to update the art portal. I have some new comics I'm working on and I can't wait to finish them and put them up!

Check out my ongoing comic series here on Newgrounds called Pico and the Portal!

Issue 001 Pico and the Portal

Issue 002 Pico and the Portal

Issue 003 Pico and the Portal

Right now, the issues are under the "Game" section because I've been using  Bando's Comic Wizard , which works really great. When the new Art Portal launches, I'll upload them all to the art portal and all the new issues will go there.

Mentorship

If you didn't read my last post, I'll bring you up to speed. I've attempted to try and mentor a few unscouted artists and give them whatever help / advice / training I can. So far, I'm pleased with their progress, and I look forward to continuing our work together. If you are an unscouted artist who is looking to expand their abilities or refine the ones they have already, feel free to send me a message.

Here are the ground rules if you're interested, take them or leave them:

1. Only original work. I want to help you make your stuff, not someone else's.
2. Let's keep it E - T rated.
3. Don't waste each other's time.
4. Be willing to take instruction and produce the instructed result.
5. Do your best work

Comic Books

Bando's Comic Wizard is super neat, and anybody who wants to share their comics on Newgrounds but didn't have a good method before, I encourage you to give it a shot.

I've converted a couple of mine and so far I'm pleased with the result. The ability to look at them on PC or Mobile this way is really great.

I would love to organize a Newgrounds Comic utilizing Bando's Comic Wizard if there were any interested participants. Just floating it out there to see if there is any interest.

Board / Card Games

I have a card game company called Nuked Cards, LLC that my wife and I started in 2016. I'd love to partner with a programmer to bring our card game NUKED to Newgrounds, but so far I haven't had any takers. If you're a programmer that is interested, message me and we can discuss the project.

I've been hoping to find a way to help the Newgrounds community, and I had an idea that I wanted to float out and see if there was any interest.

I'm offering to mentor maybe 2 or 3 unscouted artists and see if I could help them on their art journey. If it's something you're interested in, PM me or reply in the comments below.

Just to be clear, I'm not the best artist on this site, and I don't pretend to have the answers to all of life's questions, but I am willing to lend a hand to a few people if they are interested in learning what little I know. If it's successful, I hope other experienced artists would try and do the same.

Here are the ground rules if you're interested, take them or leave them:

1. Only original work. I want to help you make your stuff, not someone else's.
2. Let's keep it E - T rated.
3. Don't waste each other's time.
4. Be willing to take instruction and produce the instructed result.
5. Do your best work

That's it. I believe in sharing what I know with those that are willing to learn. We'll go at a pace that works for you, just don't give up. If there is equipment that you don't have, like a tablet, we'll figure it out. I hope I get some interested parties.

Edit:

I have one Mentee so far! I've got room for one or two more if anybody is interested.

Edit 2:

I have a second Mentee! Wish us all luck, I'm excited to see us all improve and sharpen each other's skills.

I've made my first Comic in the series "Goober Learns" free on Google Books for anybody who's interested in that sort of thing.

It's a learning comic where a boy learns how to make bread from his grandmother. If you follow along, you can also know how to make bread. If you already know how to make bread, you can still enjoy the pictures.
