Tomorrow around 7:00 PM EST, I will begin a 24 Hour Comic at Locovore Bot, the OSU Art & Technology quarterly student exhibition. I’ll either be on the first floor in the lobby-ish area, or at the landing on the second floor by the backdoor entrance to the Sound Stage.
I’ll be doing a live video stream with Ustream, so either visit my channel, or keep an eye here to check out what I’m doing!
Saturday, October 3th is 24 Hour Comic Day 2009! I will be doing a 24HC once again, and I’ll be screencasting and live video blogging for probably a large portion of it on my Livestream Channel. I’m going to set a tentative start time of 12 PM EDT.
Some might remember that I took a hiatus from September to December last year, since it was my last quarter of college, and my big project for my studio time class was completing four 24 Hour Comics, which you can check out here! I was totally drained of ideas after those four comics, but after another year I think I’m ready to tackle another short form comic!
I’ll post again later in the week to remind anyone who wishes to follow my progress. ^_^ The Webcomic Beacon is also having a 24 Hour Podcast with some awesome-sounding programming, so you should check them out, too!
Tomorrow is 24 Hour Comic Day! I will be starting my day at noon EDT (which is -4 GMT for all the international folks). I think what I’m going to do is steal Scott Kurtz’s idea and do a buffer for Garanos. My goal will be two weeks of updates, or 6 pages.
I’d really like to do another true 24HC, but I also don’t want Garanos to fall by the wayside! Perhaps this winter I’ll hunker down and do a new 24HC to make up for this year. ^_^
I’m going to be streaming my work on Livestream as much as I can. I fiddled with my camera last night and found a pretty good way to point it so I can record the pencil-and-paper drawings of the comic pages before I scan them into Photoshop. I hope all of you can spare a moment or two to stop by and cheer me on!

24 Hour Comic Day
To recap, this year I did a two-week buffer for Garanos instead of a true 24 Hour Comic, and I finished 5 out of the tartgeted 6 pages completely! I tried Livestreaming the whole time, but unfortunately when I got to the coloring stage, Photoshop and the Procaster software wouldn’t play nice, and it was making Photoshop too slow to get anything done at all, so I completed the rest of the pages without screencasting them. (If I hadn’t lost 2-3 hours futzing with the Procaster, I probably could’ve finished all 6.) I did get some footage of me drawing comic pages with my webcam, though, so that’s good. ^_^
I’ll post a more in-depth account of 24HCD over on my blog later.
Tsubasacon
I’m afraid I’m backing out of Tsubasacon this year. It’s simply not cost-effectice at the moment, so for anyone who was going to come say hello, I apologize. Maybe next year!
ISCA Caricature Convention
As of a few days ago, I’m officially a member of the International Society of Caricature Artists, and I’ll be going to their week-long convention at the beginning of November! This convention is back-to-back with Youmacon, which will be an interesting experience.
