Next Business Basics for Freelancers Class: Sunday 7/15

I've had a growing interest in my Business Basics for Freelancers Class!  The next one will be held once again at Anyone Comics in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.  It's coming up soon - Sunday July 15, from 2-5p.  Register here at Eventbrite:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/business-basics-for-freelancers-tickets-47556957139 Tickets are $50 if you get them online or $55 at the door.

As for everyone I met at Motor City Comic Con who's interested in the class, I am going to make an online course in the future.  Thank you for your patience!  I've already accomplished a lot since going FULL FREELANCE a week ago, but I'm still only one person.  New to this & future courses is that I'll talk about different forms of scheduling & prioritizing as a part-time freelancer VS full-time freelancer.  I'm amazed at the changes I've been able to make in only one week... like checking off things on my TO DO list that have been on there for months. 

I don't know why I geek out about stuff like this... it's really bizarre... but I'm glad to be helping people get better at freelancing!  Hope you can make it to the next class, and have a happy 4th of July!

Class Now Only $50 for Business Basics for Freelancers!

Life is pretty good when people pay you real money to draw their pets at Batman characters.  But customers don't just walk around waiting to give you money for random stuff.  You have to start with a solid product and venue to sell your work, part of which we'll cover in Business Basics for Freelancers!  There is a special right now for $50 per ticket (a $75 value)!  The class is TOMORROW May 9th, so if you're on the edge wondering if you should take it or not, GO FOR IT!  Register here:

The class is at Anyone Comics in Crown Heights:  1216 Union St, Brooklyn, NY 11225.  It's from 6p-9p.  The closest subway is the President St. 2/5.  We'll also go over stuff like banking, taxes, and one of my favorite subjects - productivity!  No matter if you've been freelancing for awhile or are considering taking the plunge from your day job, there are always new things to learn.  Please spread the word as well, and hope to see you there!

Free Comic Book Day THIS SATURDAY at Anyone Comics!

Did you know there's a day called Free Comic Book Day?  It's always the first Saturday in May, and you can go to ANY comic shop all over America and they will have a certain selection of comics for FREE!  No, it doesn't mean that all the comics in the store are free... they'd go out of business.  Note that the above image is meant to read May 5th, 12pm - 8pm (it is NOT May 12).

Some stores, like Anyone Comics in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, are also making it into a party/ Indie Art Fair!  I'm one of 15+ local cartoonists selling comics, zines, toys, games, prints, clothing & more from NOON to 8pm - all day!  My friend Patrick McEvoy will take over the later half of the day, selling our new comic "Other Realms," so if you want to see me, please get there before 4pm.  Even though it's supposed to rain this Saturday, all the festivities are inside.  At least it's going to be warm - almost 70°!  It's at 1216 Union Street - take the 2/5 to President Street and it's right around the corner.

Hope you can make it out to get some free comics, discover a new favorite artist, and enjoy just hanging out at a comic shop - the peeps at Anyone Comics are very friendly :)

Next Business Basics For Freelancers Class!

If you missed my last Business Basics for Freelancers class, I'm having another one in 2 weeks on Wednesday May 9, from 6p-9p!  With the arrival of spring, we tend to find the energy to get out there and DO things we've been putting off all winter.  Now's a great time to sharpen your business skills to become a more successful freelancer! 

This time, the class will be at Anyone Comics in Crown Heights, Brooklyn (1216 Union St).  They have a very nice downstairs area where they've held lots of fun events I've been to before (and they have not only one, but TWO bathrooms!  I'm probably the only one who gets excited about the bathrooms, but really... it's LUXURIOUS for NYC & you'll be comfortable being in the class for 3 hours).  This class is open to ALL freelancers, from musicians to painters to event planners & more.

And PLEASE spread the word!  Even if you think the class isn't for you, do you know someone it WOULD be good for?  The more I talk with other freelancers, the more I realize just how much the topics I cover (keeping track of projects, banking, taxes, productivity) are needed in our communities.  Hope to see you and some of your friends there!
