I created this illustration for a New Jersey ER team. Happy to work on this project in the midst of the pandemic! NYC is thankfully at a much better place now, but my heart goes out to others in the country who are suffering from COVID.
I realize I haven’t updated this blog/mailing list in awhile (since May!). In the past I used to post each time I was in an event, but comic cons and many other events aren’t happening now due to COVID. Also I got some advice recently that blogging or emailing people on your list doesn’t have to be a super big thing – it can be many smaller things more often, which I’d like to practice going forward.
Our country is going through a lot of changes right now. Social changes, safety changes, economic changes, & more. I’m changing some things up myself – I joined a MASTER MIND group! MasterMinds are great ways to brainstorm with like-minded people who are on the same path as you. It kind of feels like an independent study where I’m taking courses online, then we zoom monthly to brainstorm on problems we’re facing. Getting to know others who want to take their comic careers to the next level is inspiring.
I realized I need to take more of my sales online due to conventions being wiped out. I think I’ve mentioned Tyler James’ ComixLaunch podcast on here before – he’s leading the mastermind. This dude funded his most successful Kickstarter ever (SHE from ComixTribe) when the pandemic was gaining steam in April. I was impressed – he knows what he’s doing and seems like a great leader.
Which leads me to another change. I’m going to be making changes to my mailing list!
If you want to continue to get updates from me in these emails, simply reply and let me know!
Then I’ll make absolutely sure that your email gets entered into the new system. I’ll mention this in upcoming posts before the change too, as I know people don’t open every email. It’ll be a transition, but one for the better. I’ve struggled a lot with various tech problems over the years, and this one is a doozy – the details of which I won’t bore you with. But after each tech problem I conquered, I was SO GLAD with the results after. I look forward to having better templates, making it easier for people to sign up for my mailing list online, and keeping track of analytics.
Hope that you’re safe and well! What kind of changes are you making lately?
