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!

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.
