ComicWhore.com has been updated with a new blog on self-publishing comics.

If you’d like to know more about doing comics yourself, or the story behind how we published Bushi Tales be sure to check it out.

A new blog on how to use the internet to promote yourself will be by our webmaster Nicki and updated every Wednesday.

Don’t forget that this Friday, Oct.2nd is the annual Broad Avenue Art Walk. Paula Cravens will have a photography show called “Standing Stones” at West Memorials, and the Midsouth Cartoonists Association will have “Nightmare on Broad Avenue” at Adam Shaw’s studio. The event is open to the public and free.

Paula and Greg hung her photos today and they are amazing!

The weather is looking great this week. Should be a great night to stretch your legs and enjoy some art.

The next MSCA dinner meeting is the night before (Oct.1st) from 7-9pm at Garibaldi’s Pizza off Walker and Highland in the U of M area across from Tiger Bookstore (3530 Walker Ave. – 901.327.6111).  This is also free and open to the public, but bring a few bucks to order off the menu- you’ll be glad you did!

Our webmaster Nicki has been at it again-
The MSCA site has a new look for users with touch-based smartphones like the iPhone and Google Android.  All of the MSCA features remain the same, but the site will run smoother and faster for these users.

- Nicki

The MSCA website, the ComicWhore.com site, and my LinWorkman.com site are all iPhone friendly now. How cool is that?! Thanks, Nicki- you’re awesome.

I wonder if that means I now need to buy an iPhone..?

Comic Whore Schedule

I’ll be updating the new ComicWhore.com site 3 times a week now. Mondays will be my blog on self-publishing and promotion, Fridays will be my “Pimp It!” days where I will spotlight a few things in the comic industry that I think need a bit more exposure (comics, cons/shows/creators/movies/art/podcasts, etc), and Wednesdays will now have a guest columnist- Nicki! Our webmaster will be discussing how to use the web to promote yourself. Really looking forward to that, and to having a few more guest writers in the future share their knowledge about comics. I also will be adding a few interviews here and there from pros I know and meet. If you’d like to know more about self-publishing and/or how to “pimp” yourself and your work check out Comic Whore.

Thanks to my webmaster Nicki for making it happen, and Charlito and Mr. Phil from the Indie Spinner Rack podcast and my former art teacher for the name inspiration! Check it out and let me know what you think.

Hey gang-

Greg “The Buckets” Cravens’ wife Paula will have her art show Standing Stones: photos of forgotten memories on display in the gallery here at my day job- West Memorials (2481 Broad Ave.) on October 2nd as part of the Broad Avenue Art Walk.

Her  show will be photography of cemeteries, mausoleums, statues and tombstones as art. You can see one of her photos above.

The art walk happens twice a year and is a lot of fun. You get to go from one studio or gallery to another up and down Broad Avenue checking out art, eating some cheese and crackers, and having a little wine at each stop.

Down the street at Adam Shaw’s studio the MSCA (including Paula’s hubby Greg) will be hosting another art show- A Nightmare On Broad Avenue.
