Found this in my Mom’s attic. A comic from my student newspaper in high school. In case anyone questions my comix cred.
It’s grown quite apparent to me that indie comics needs a distribution network.
I’m not saying I’m that guy, cuz I’m not. BUT, maybe the reason why these indie shows keep filling up, growing out their space, and sometimes collapsing due to the growth of the shows is because now there is an actual demand for this material, and there are actual “micro publishers” supplying to that demand. Their venues are crowded hotel conference centers or church halls or libraries. People want to sell these books, people want to buy these books. How come no one has stepped up to the plate to figure this out? Is it even possible? We all know the direct market is fucked and wants nothing to do with small press creators, but there has to be a way. Right?
Sketches
drawn with a Carbon Pen, brush pens, watercolors, and a red Pilot Precisesold at TCAF, thanks guys!
Aww man, I never saw that Jet Moto-ish drawing before, I woulda bought that shit up immediately.
RIP BCGF. It’s a sad day.
Who’s going to pick up the slack?
Guh! Bummer, I only had a chance to go to that show once, it was a pleasure. They left on a good note at least.
