A little play on words about the study and practice of art.
I love seeing an artist's doodles and sketches! It can tell you a lot about how they were looking at their subject, how they constructed the piece and the overall movement the artist was looking to create. Sometimes, there are details that might have gone into a work but, for some reason or other, did not make the cut. Since I look for sketches when I visit an artist's site, I've included mine here.

Promote Your Webcomic
All webcomic artists want to promote their work. That's a given. What we have been lacking is an online place to learn how to promote. How much should you spend on advertising? What else can you do to get a bigger audience? What resources exist for us to take advantage of?
It's new, but there is now such a place. Its' mission is to collect all these resources together so we can all benefit. So, go. Check out how to promote your webcomic and then suggest a resource in the appropriate heading.

Lord of the Trees
Things may have finally just gotten better.
Well, of course, the boys are in full scale retreat and Dark Jay has declared himself Lord of the Trees. None of that is good, per se.
The good part is that DJ is finally done monologing.

Madscottby S.R. Gallatin
Madscott starts out as black and white line drawings but switches over to color in early 2008. A month later it switches back and for a good reason. Even though it looks good, the artist doesn't want to rely on color to carry the comic. The line drawings are not especially detailed but that's not the charm of the strip. I'll come back to that after I talk about some of the details that support it. See the rest of the review right here.
