Sticker Contest & Updates

Submitted by Prog on Fri, 06/06/2008 - 18:27.

So the sticker contest is finally "here"... I say that because I have the first batch of stickers. creating the idea/infrastructure behind this has been a little interesting, but i'm hoping its going to turn out. I think it will be a pretty fun time if we get some people doing it.

I think my over-all art is improving the comic art is coming up a bit, but in general too. http://work-n-prog.com/wings.gif is a new style for a clothing company that is about to launch.

Happy Memorial Day

So this blog was posted a bit late today for a couple reasons, first I wanted to sleep in :). Second I'm working with a new version of comic life and I could not get my images to become un-fuzzy... After an hour of cussing at it and trying everything I posted the comic... Newer version has neat things, but I need to figure out how to un-fuzzify my images.

I was going to camtasia the making of the comic today, but camtasia decided it didn't like me, so maybe some other day :).

New art(ish)

Submitted by Prog on Wed, 05/21/2008 - 14:55.

The original idea for WnP was to be very simple from an artistic standpoint, I took that originally as 12 year old Ms paint simple... hehe and i turned out a lot of quick comics that really lack in the art department.
Over the past couple of months though I've been making the transition to simple but artistic. Today being another foot forward in that direction. "Prog" today was completely different and I think it made him feel more of a character and not just a drawing.

Happy Friday

Going to keep this short and sweet... figuring out how traffic is flowing to a site and why is a full time task lol, so i needed to take a wee break enjoy:

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

1. IF YOU'RE CHOKING ON AN ICE CUBE, SIMPLY POUR A CUP OF BOILING WATER DOWN YOUR THROAT. PRESTO! THE BLOCKAGE WILL INSTANTLY REMOVE ITSELF.

2. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.

3. AVOID ARGUMENTS ABOUT THE TOILET SEAT - USE THE SINK.

This is awesome -- its a personal helicopter for 58k... fly's at 31 mph, but 31 mph in a straight line will kill driving in traffic anyday...just watch out for bird droppings.

Frustration & Excitement

Submitted by Prog on Tue, 05/13/2008 - 14:41.

The site was receiving a great deal of traffic from Stumbleupon for a good little run. All of a sudden it ceased, right around the same time that I found their campaign page and registered... So what because they found out i'd be willing to pay money for a little traffic they cut off traffic to the site?

Another Milestone

Submitted by Prog on Wed, 05/07/2008 - 06:00.

This has been an exciting experience thus far and as we passed 1k unique hits yesterday I was pretty thrilled (1137 was the final count). So first of all a big thank you to the people who are reading. I've got a lot of great feedback and I appreciate that! I know my art style... um well bites from time to time :) I will improve i promise!

Random Musings

I've been inherently lazy in setting up a dual blog (well mainly because ryan is supposed to do that).

Just a quick update -- welcome and thank you too all the stumblers and diggers (if you ever make it this far :)).

So continuing the Inside comic feel of the blog. Last time i talked about the tools I use. I think I will delve more into the day to day.

Tools: Photoshop CS3 & Comic Life

Milestone #1

Submitted by Prog on Wed, 04/23/2008 - 14:54.

So on the onset of this little endeavor (that i talked about for years) The first milestone was getting to 20 comics. Well that day is today! My excitement extends to no one beyond myself really.

The site is about ready to change -- switching to a 2 column layout so their is more space for the comic and not just meaningless space on the left... The banner will be getting more involved and fun, and products will be up in the store.

A couple of things: A t-shirt giveaway will be happening as soon as the daily visitors avg is 100.
