SO, SO SORRY I’ve taken so long to check in, everybody! A couple things keeping me busy [note of additional apology: To add insult to injury, this announcement was posted way back on May 15 at Patreon, and I accidentally overlooked posting it here!):
1. my birthday (May 13!),
2. a Free Comic Book Day store appearance in Roseville CA At A-1 Comics, who has been super thoughtful about helping me promote “Diary of a Struggling Comics Artist,” and a Meadowlark comic convention appearance in Medford, OR,
3. the usual pounding tthrough, toward completion, what looks to be a 175 page Doris Danger Volume 3 (hopefully by this summer),
4. re-branding all my social media to ChrisWisniaArts and re-vamping the website (hopefully up and running by the next weekly reckoning – in a month or so) INCLUDING THIS PATREON PAGE, which has been re-named Patreon.com/ChrisWisniaArts (Hope you were able to find it!),
5. my wife being out of town on two separate four day trips (!!) leaving the boys (me included) helplessly home alone, and
6. a surprise SECRET PROJECT involving a 15 film DVD set where each film will be represented by a different artist (I’m super excited about this honor, and hopefully can announce the project soon!)…
But the big announcement TODAY is:
7. YOUTUBE. Last month, on April 9th, our Youtube channel with our documentary, “Diary of a Struggling Comics Artist,” had been trickling in one or two new subscribers a week, and was suddenly at 80 subscribers and feeling like we could hit 100 soon. It did that day, and that Friday it hit 200, Saturday 300, and Sunday 600! As I write this, a month later, we are inching up on 3,300 subscribers!
If you haven’t checked it out recently, I hope you can pop over to our official Youtube.com/DiaryOfAStrugglingComicsArtist channel and enjoy some of the public posts we’ve been diligently making for the last year. That’s right, this week I just posted our 52nd video!
Tomorrow we’ll be publicly posting a Jim Steranko video up at Youtube.com/DiaryOfAStrugglingComicsArtist. If YOU are a kind Patron of my Patreon at the $7 level, here are some OTHER videos we’ve posted just for YOU, since the last Weekly Reckoning:
48. THE FAMILY CAR (video, approx. 4:30, Public)
49. JIM STARLIN (video, approx 3:30, Public)
50. JIM STERANKO (video, approx 5:00, $7 PATREON-ONLY BONUS video)
51. MARK WAID 2 (video, ALSO approx. 3:05, Public)
52. ROY THOMAS (video, approx 3:00, $7 Patrons)
Let’s see what else YOU’VE gotten access, to here at my Patreon.com/ChrisWisniaArts so far this time around…
If you pop over to Patreon.com/ChrisWisniaArts, you can download or print these high res printables of “Ree Ree, Wingless, Pointy-Headed Falling Demon of the!” (NOT a typo!, but you’ll have to read some upcoming Doris Danger comics to find out why!), and “Horno – Not a Hoax!”, or “Ner-Nee-Nah, the Thing that was Probably Alive!”, and then download or read a PDF of Doris Danger vol. 3, Chapter One!
Meanwhile, over at the newly-launched but still in progress ChrisWisniaArts/blog, you can read the latest installments of Doris Danger web comics, beginning HERE.
I look forward to sharing more goodies with you next time, but I want to hear from you! Whaddaya think of all these shenanigans? Thanks SO MUCH for YOUR support, everyone!
Sincerely,
Chris
