What's in store for LazyComix.....

Every so often I email my website around to various web comic site and magazines that pay attention to the comic book world.... last week, on a whim, I took a trip to craigslist.com to see if anyone was selling a nice bike and wound up taking a look in the job section.... you never know when you might find a neat comic book or illustration job opportunity.... so I found a call for comic book reviewers on a website I've never heard of. So I went to check it out, knowing that I'd never take a job reviewing comics. I'd love to, but I could never be honest with my reviews in fear of upsetting an editor or creator that I may have worked with or may work with in the future.... and if you can’t be honest as a reviewer, you shouldn't even bother.

When I got to the site, I saw that it was a pretty neat site that reviews music, art, movies (there's something I'd love to review) and comics.... so I emailed the editor asking him to take a look at NYComix.... turns out he really dug the work and wanted to run it on the site.... after a few emails we decided to run NYComix Episode 1 in the next issue. Next month, I'm hoping to run a new story that will really be fitting for September.... we'll see how that goes.

Anyway, the site is called www.NorthEastInTune.com... go check it out, it's a cool site and I'm excited about NYComix being a part of it in the near future.

That same day I took a trip over to DigitalWebbing.com... as most comic creators know, it's a place to find other creators looking to start a comic.... if you're a writer looking for a penciler, or a colorist looking for a letterer, anything... it's the place to look. As I clicked around the site I found a call for submissions to a subscription web comic site… being a big fan of web comics, I checked it out and it was a neat looking site with some good looking web comics already on board… so I send the NYComix link on over and got accepted… that’s when the panic set in… I’d have to post a new comic once a week. Wow. I’m pretty much on a once a month schedule now… once a week is a lot of work, especially with all my lettering work. But after talking to my girlfriend, who found the opportunity not as a reason to panic but as a way to force myself to write and draw every day… and to build up my portfolio of NYComix… so now I have to get my first strip rolling by September 1st… I’m hoping to get ahead of schedule so that I can take a week off every once in a while. I felt a little better after I flipped through a copy of Calvin and Hobbes 10th Anniversary Book… Watterson was creating amazing work on a daily basis… made my weekly problem seem a little less daunting.

Anyway, the web comic site is www.PixelStrips.com its still in the early stages now, but I think it’s going to be a great web comic site…

So that’s the big announcement… Now it’s off to letter Runaways and jot down ideas for web comic strips…
