updated 10/5/2013 1) Make a standee. A standee on your table can do lots in increasing your visibility, as opposed to just having your comics lying flat in front of you. Not only can a well-designed standee attract more attention, it can also help your fans find you in the sea of geek humanity. You can either use the cover of the comic book you're selling, or create an original "poster." Print one that's big enough to mount on a 1/4 or 1/2-sized illustration board. (For the larger board, be sure to secure the back so the standee won't bend.) But if you can find a way to place your standee higher, then the better. 2) Make a flyer. In comics conventions, many visitors are first-timers. Not only are they surprised by the number of people in attendance, but they usually have no idea what most of the comics on sale are about. The simple act of giving out one-page flyers to passersby is a good first step in connecting visitors to what you have to offer. The flyer...

Something's not right about this album cover. The stylist shouldn't have made her wear mostly black. And what's with the crossed legs? As a debut, this cover's a tad weak. I'm still buying this one, though. Exciting!

...do check out my dear friend Tobie Abad's super super short film "Sweetie," which is his entry to the Victoria Court Director's Cut Challenge. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My Holy Week vacay wasn't exactly relaxing. I haven't been feeling in top shape lately. Went to the doctor yesterday, and she said I may be overstressed. Such is old news to me, really. I need zen training. March wasn't the best month. Oh, the challenges of adulthood. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thanks to those who took the time to view pages 15 to 18 of the Zaturnnah sequel. I'll be posting additional pages this Friday. If some of you are expecting a complete book soon, please don't. I still have a ways to go. But at least it's moving.

I've always wanted to go into some kind of business but, unfortunately, business savvy is something I sorely lack in. I'm the kind of guy who'll readily give discounts to most any friend or family member (if not for free), unless of course I get the biting feeling that some kind of abuse is going on. But I still dream of having my own business, something not directly related to making comics. I've entertained ideas for food cart businesses. While there are a lot of cheap franchises out there in which I can get my feet wet, I still have hesitations over running something that isn't an idea I can fall in love with. Unless, of course, I fall in love with the basic need to earn more money and experience. Business ideas are a dime a dozen, and a lot of them are deceptively simple. King of Balls comes to mind, with their oh-s0-deliciously-sweet red gulaman, the closest to a cheap and addicting sugar bomb I'll ever get. But here are a few of business ideas I've run...

So far, I've over 20 images in my Color Kiddies website, where nice people can download free coloring pages and free clip art. 20 images isn't a lot, but we all have to start somewhere, right? Anyway, I'm thoroughly enjoying this little distraction, since it gives me a chance to practice my drawing and coloring skills. I was supposed to upload these updates last weekend, but I ran into major tech trouble. Now with that being water under the bridge (crossing fingers as I type this), I present to you three more fantasy-themed coloring pages for free download. Click on each image to go to their respective download pages! As always, you can also download free drawing pages and clipart! Enjoy!
