Storycomic Weekly Newsletter: March 20th

ALWAYS POSTED A WEEK EARLIER ON PATREON


Podcast Updates

Another three-show week!  This past Saturday on Nerd Stock Talk we talked about the differences between Mutual funds, index funds, and ETFs.

On Tuesday, I was excited to have with us is the internationally acclaimed artist and illustrator Tadeo Phillips.

Then on Thursday, we had back with us is the award-winning, artist, historian, cartoonist, and educator Robert Brunelle Jr.

We spent the entire hour talking about the history of political cartoons.


Project Updates

We also hit 1000 downloads!

I basically finished putting my new comic book on a beat sheet and will be teaching myself more about how to use the Save the Cat program.   I also have been drawing more with procreate.  I’ll be sharing the time-lapse videos of these drawings as an exclusive for my Patreon page.


What I’m reading

This past week I read the graphic novel, ‘Cardboard’ by Doug TenNapel with my 6-year-old.  We had a great time reading this book about a boy who received a magical cardboard box.  It was so imaginative and relatable to any child or adult that plays with empty cardboard boxes. 

Highly recommend this book and would not be surprised to see it turned into a movie someday.


Personal Updates

Even though I live smack dab in the middle of Dunkin’ and Green Mountain Coffee land, I wanted to see what my northern neighbors enjoy drinking.

This was a pretty normal week, work-wise. Here in Vermont, we had the famous ‘fools spring’ where the weather gets really warm but only for a few days.  It was great to crack open the windows and get some fresh air in the house. 

More good news: we now have 2:57 minutes of extra daylight!
