News and such.


I updated Munki's Tales again today and now that I'm on the new schedule I'm actually getting somewhere. This makes me happy as compaired to before. Errant Apprentice continues and will update in the morning. It seems like everytime I think about switching it to color I do a page that makes me change my mind. I'm happy with it right now.
Also, I'm starting to draw the majority of my comics at home. I don't know why this change has happened but I'm liking it more this way. Maybe it's the fact that I'm sitting at my own desk. It feels right. I added a tray and clamp to it so I can hold my crap somewhere while it's tilted and I can keep a page held up so I can work on the bottom of it without a problem.
Scott McCloud has a new book out. It's called "Making Comics" and unlike his last one this is funny, educational, and not full of crack pot ideas and ego. This one is a lot more like "Understanding Comics". I got it last night and I'm about half-way through all ready. Good stuff. I recommend it.
For those wondering, the image to the left is Cassi. I did this one for my DA account and decided I needed to share. I think it turned out pretty good. It's part of a wallpaper I'm working on and I'll put a link up when I get it done.

The new site.

Well, this is the new look for now. I tried to do something slick like what HPK had over at Studio Blu before the current version went up. Unfortunitely things kept turning up in random spots around the table, which is odd because I've never had those sorts of problems dealing with tables. Ah well. This will do for now until I figure out what I was doing wrong. Also, for those who don't read the forums, the new update schedule is as follows: Monday - The Errant Apprenctice Wednesday - Munki's Tales Sunday - Geebo You got that? Good. Now don't forget it. Once again, huge thanks to HPK for getting this thing set up in the first place. Till later! - Kev

Geebo: Featuring Cosmic Dash

Today's comic, and the next four or so pages of Geebo are special. They feature Dave Davis' Cosmic Dash characters. Let me just say how much fun it is to draw someone else's characters sometimes. It's a challenge and it let's me stretch my muscles so to speak. Not to mention I get to write someone with different reactions and such. Other than that there isn't a lot going on I guess. The new schedule is working out better than I expected andI have a few projects on the side. I have a guest spot for Tao of Geek I have to get done today and one for Cosmic Dash that I still need to finish drawing. I have to get a banner for Delirium done and some form of Nightgig banner. Mind you, I need dimensions for both of those, so JT and HPK, just let me know the sizes and I'll hope on it as quick as possible. I'm also working on an image for a DVD menu were doing. It's a compilation of short films we've shot over the last eight or so years and I'm putting...

State of Sweatshop Address 8/26/06

Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Kevin Hayman. I'd like to thank you all for coming, and now we will get down to business. As some of you are aware, here at Sweatshop Studios our biggest export is entertainment in the form of the "web cartoons" that the kids seem to be so into these days. We currently provide one completed comic known as "Kota's World" and are producing three series concurrently. They are Geebo, The Errant Apprentice, and Munki's Tales. Did you see that? "Tales"? That's a pun! I understand that humor can be very effective in these sorts of things. Now, as of our last check with the traffic department, we are currently pulling in around 800 visitors a month. My advisors tell me that ranks just above several websites about Martians invading Newark, New Jersey and below several "My Little Pony" fan sites. To attempt to draw more traffic we are actively searching for sites to advertise on that will actually respond to...
