No comic post maybe later in the week or re-solicit in the coming weeks. Pardon for the delay, but in place of our regular schedule comic is a bit of dialogue from my first issue of The Amazing Spider-Man. I just dove in and became avid reader of comics. It worked and I am still hook on this storytelling medium 🙂

I saw a similar format with IMDb.com when their site was down and post some dialogue from some wonderful films.  I will try to not make this a regular thing because we want new comics 🙂 Hopefully this was nice post for the week.

Local(ly) NC Snow meme: Attack on Glenwood Ave, Raleigh NC

This really happen last Wednesday.

“Raleigh, N.C. — Of the thousands of snow photos taken in North Carolina on Wednesday, one of the most talked about and shared shots came from a Raleigh woman who captured the chaos on Glenwood Avenue.” WRAL

I had a spontaneous sketch session with Justin Yang during the session he mention the picture above, so I had to share. It seems North Carolina was just as unprepared as Georgia was several weeks ago.

 Patreon: Support the creators you love

I mention before how Kickstarter is ban-na-nas, well here is alternative method for funding ongoing creative work instead of big project campaigns in Kickstarter. In some cases some participants are trying to avoid using any advertising on their sites.

“Here’s how Patreon works. Fans can elect to donate as little as $1 for every song or video an artist produces. If the artist creates 6 videos a year, a fan donating $1 per work would give $6 a year. Fans pay nothing if the artist does not release any works.”

“The idea is to provide a revenue stream for musicians who aren’t creating large, flashy projects for Kickstarter campaigns, but are slowly cranking out one video or song on a regular basis.”

Some comic creators I found so far on Patreon: Meridith Gran, Gordon McAlpin, Erika Moen, Paul Taylor, Zach Weinersmith. I will be sure to cite more. Best of luck to everyone.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy (release date 8/2014)
