Odori Park at One Year Old
Submitted by Chris Watkins on March 11, 2010
On Saturday, March 13th, I'll be celebrating the first anniversary of my webcomic Odori Park. I've managed to keep the comic updating three days a week (M/W/F) since March 13, 2009, at my site www.odoripark.com. For the uninitiated: Odori Park chronicles the gaffes and romance of Colin and Arisa Easton, an "east marries west" international couple with a toddler son named Sprout, and a small used bookshop to look after.
Tim Demeter leaving Clickwheel and GraphicSmash and so is Reckless Life
Submitted by Tim Demeter on February 26, 2010
As of the end of today I am resigning as editor of Clickwheel.net and GraphicSmash.com and removing my comic, Reckless Life from both sites.
I’m not so narcissistic as to assume this is interesting news to anyone but I would like to clarify that this is not a commentary on either site or the brilliant creators doing great work in both places. I’d like to thank the folks behind these sites, Rebellion LTD, Will Simons and Joey Manley for the opportunities they provided me and T Campbell for making those opportunities possible. Extra special thanks to all of you who kept up on my various webcomic projects over the years.
In the coming days I’m going to be writing an ongoing blog series on my experiences in the comic industry both pro and amateur, print and web. If anyone can profit from my triumphs and tragedies in the business of the business I will be offering my experiences for anyone who wishes to hear them. All of this will be happening at: timwagon.com
And if you liked my comic, Reckless Life you’ll be able to find out how to get access to the archives there as well as learn a little about my new creative projects.
I’m Tim Demeter. You stay classy internet.

Webcomic Beacon #108 – IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUUUUUUUU!
Jillyfoo (Demon Eater) and Nate (Jazz and Jess) joins Fes, Tanya, and Mark to discuss Self-Insertion, Mary Sues, Canon Sues, and Anti-Sues. Some debate rages on about what characters may fall prey to which category, as well as bringing up the flaws in writing things as such. We also put a bit of hate into Twilight… because it’s so deserving of our disrespect.
Nobody else is going to draw your comics.

To all comic artists and graphic designers:
For many years, I've got a very tight grip on my pens. A very, very tight grip, as I thought it was the most precise way to have absolute control over the drawing.
Plus I used to draw for hours and hours, ocasionally stopping to take a glance 'round and realize I'm still in 'this' world and not the one I created. I've spent many, many hours not only drawing characters but illustrating backgrounds and populating them with subtle, almost obsessive textures, all proudly hand-drawn, panel after panel, page after page.
And for many years, I've heard people suggesting me to ease my style of drawing. That I could end hurting my tendons and muscles. But, in spite of those suggestions by people who have been on the business for much longer than me (actually, I've never been 'in the business') I kept with my bad habits, and continued strangling my drawing pens as if I was -squeezing- the ink out of them. You know, kinda like when your parents keep telling you to sit straight and you nevertheless prefer to get a loosier pose on the chair when they're not around.

Pronto Comics: the new face in Illustrated stories.
Submitted by DumokDuvalles on January 10, 2010
So where do I start?
as my fans well know I have been working with a group of guys who took a course in writting and illustrating comics, I met a couple of them in early 09 during the NY Comic Con and Shortly I joined with them to help illustrate a story for their anthology "For a Price, Bounty Hunters and Other Scum". After the Anthology was finished, we were hooked on seeing our work in print and online. I then figured, "Hey, why not publish my own comics with these guys?"
So I am officially stating that Monster Lover: Destiny's Path, A Call to Destiny: Reloaded, Warmage: Rebirth, and Shadow-Root will now be under the pronto comics Label and will be featured on our new site on Ning.com; along with the work of Artists like Dominic Sporano, David Curtis and Many Others...
