Art by Noel Arthur

Hey!  Our winter heating bills sucked our savings dry, and I really need some money so that I can register for AA tables for the conventions I’m going to this year.

As the images clearly show, I will draw anything and everything (I do, of course, have my limits like anyone else, which include rape and gore, sorry!)  But shipping is INCLUDED and I work fast!

2.5 x 3.5 in. Sketchcards $5 (1 chara. each)

8.5 x 5.5 in Commissions:

• Pencil 1 character: $10
• Pencil 2 characters: $15
• Inked (1 or 2 chara.): $25
• Watercolor (1 or 2 chara.): $35

Totally reasonable prices, right?  My other caveat is that keyblades, animals, excessively detailed Final Fantasy outfits, and anything else that would reasonably take me extra time to draw count as characters.  Just ask, though!

Email me at korimichele@gmail.com (or note me!)

I take paypal only right now!

Thank you so much!  Reblogs appreciated!

Kori is a wonderful person and a great artist! Go go go commissions!!!

feganfloop asked: Hello there! I just wanted to say that my Ignition Zero kickstarter rewards came in the post today & they are gorgeous!! I was so excited when I saw they had arrived. I especially loved the bonus booklet with the info on the faeries, it's very interesting & they're all so pretty!! Thank you so much for making such a great comic! 0u0

You’re welcome!! Thank you so much for reading & supporting the kickstarter :D! Your excitement gets me excited about making more of the comic. I can’t wait until after graduation when I can start up again.

My first-ever color intaglio print (etching & aquatint on this one) came out amazing! Dunno if you can tell in this cell phone shot.

I was so worried about this print, which uses three copper plates (etched with acid), one each with red, yellow, and blue ink. They’re printed one after another on the same paper to create the final image, which I’ll scan & post once the paper is dry & I’ve turned in what’s needed to my professor.

I didn’t know you did printmaking!  This is so beautiful!  I make prints and stuff too [mostly woodcuts and screen prints, but yeah], so whenever I see other people doing it just makes me really happy.  I’m just.  Guh.  This is lovely!

(reblogged to wrong blog first, whoops!) Thank you very much, and yes! Printmaking is actually part of my major, but I haven’t been able to take my print courses until this year—I’m gonna be so sad if I can’t find facilities to continue doing this once I graduate. I’d love to make some IgZ related prints in the future to sell.

I get excited when I find other printmakers, too, of all the things they call “a dying art,” some of these processes really are. I’ve never done a woodcut before, but I’ve seen some really amazing ones!

 The most important thing about creating art is to create# If you want to be at ease with creativity, you have to immerse yourself in it, and do a little bit every day# Even if that little bit is only to take five minutes while waiting for the bus to come and do a gesture drawing of a man reading his book across the street from you# Or to take the moment to scribble down a thumbnail rough sketch of a concept that occurs to you# Do a little bit each day# Train your brain to think visually#

It can be difficult at first, accustoming yourself to make this small bit of time, because you’ll think:
“I don’t have enough time for it

Take the time to read this; it’s a GREAT point and short as well…so you won’t be taking up more of that precious time :P. More than one professor has talked to me about this as well.

These are our people. This is holy ground. Lend a hand if you can.

Hey everyone! A lot of you may have heard about this already, but DOMINO is losing our headquarters, 282 Broadway/Cartoon House (also the place that I and many other people in the arts/comics community live out of). It’s a sad situation—-so much work has been made in this apartment, and many artists/cartoonists/people-involved-in-art have called it their home over the last decade, including Lizz Hickey, Jon Vermilyea, Jesse McManus, Clara Bessijelle, Bald Eagles/Victor Cayro, Christopher Ortiz, Becca Kacanda, Jeff Ladoceur, Dave Nuss, Bill Kartalopoulos, Aidan Koch and myself, Austin English. The apartment has also been a ‘safe-house’ for cartoonists and artists visiting New York—-it would be hard to list all the people who have crashed here for a day or a week or months while working on their art.

The space also serves as the headquarters for 3 small publishers—-DOMINO, Rebus Books and Revival House. For small businesses like ours, the move will be involved and cut into our already razor-thin-margins operations. Make no mistake, we will survive and continue to thrive after this move! BUT—-DOMINO is asking for your help today by asking for one simple thing: if you’ve been considering ordering any of our books——especially the 6 books we publish, DARK TOMATO, SPIDER MONKEY, FACE MAN, DIFFICULT LOVES, SPACE BASKET or TUSEN HJARTAN STARK—-now would be a wonderful time for you to go ahead and buy them! We offer all six books together for $26 (you get TUSEN for free, plus pay no shipping). But, really, any order today helps us out with this move and lightens our load (less books, less to move)!

Thanks you guys! Link to the store below—-check it out and feel free to share this!

if you can purchase something from Domino Books or can at least reblog this. They are an incredible selfpublishing energy!

The first time I met Austin I got mad at him for eating my carrots…but he is a real sweetheart and could really use your help.  Plus his books are FANTASTIC.

Austin’s a good guy and you probably need these books.

282 Broadway.

Wow that was the spot if comics ever had a The_Spot. This is unfortunate, if you’ve ever been there, you know. But time marches on, right?

Help the fellows out! Get some of their books if artcomics are your bag.
