How to make comics?

Posted by J Chris in Comics, Events

At this year’s Heroes Convention Dustin Harbin moderated a panel on mini-comics with Andy Runton, Jim Mahfood, Rob Ullman, myself and Ben Towle and the super cool guys at The Dollar Bin recorded it. So go give it a listen. It was a pretty good discussion with some funny stuff going on and some good info.

Do you still have questions about making comics? Ask away in the comments and I’ll answer to the best of my abilities.

Minicomics Panel at Heroes

Posted by J Chris in Comics, Events

Come listen to me and some other artists chat about Mini Comics
Minicomics – Did You For Real Make That Yourself?

4.00 pm on Saturday the 16th

Minicomics are almost their own side thing, separate from regular old comics. But if you’ve been thinking of dipping your toe into the world of cartooning, there’s no better way to get some work out there without a lot of money, or a pesky old publisher. And who better to show you! A somewhat snaggle-toothed member of our staff sits down with J. Chris Campbell, Jim Mahfood, Ben Towle, and Rob Ullman–and almost certainly some surprise guests–for a discussion of how cool these little art objects are, and how you can make your own!

So Come on!

Devil computer stole my e-mail!

Posted by J Chris in 01-Illustration, JCC

Devil Computer got my e-mail

Alright, that’s not totally true. But some computer out there is at fault. Basically I’ve been having a lot of hosting problems with my website. So I switched, new server new company and all sorts of new features. But for some reason my e-mail isn’t working. So I’m sorry if you’re having trouble sending me mail to me@jchriscampbellNOMORESPAM.com.

So if you see my e-mail floating out there, tell him to come home. Because I miss him and I’ll never let that devil computer get ahold of him again. Promise.

Update! Media Temple answered my prayers.

Media Temple host rescued my e-mail!

Earlier today I put in a trouble ticket explaining my problems and to my surprise they fixed it within hours! I’m not use to that sort of service from my web hosting companies. So far I’ve loved most everything about my new web host. Who is it? Why I’ll just have to tell you all about it. But first I gots some comicing to do!
