Happy New Year from Art Geek Zoo Comics!
2011 was quite a year of creative growth for me. Even though AGZ went on a bit of a hiatus... I've been up to quite a bit elsewhere. WOW do I miss posting comics weekly here at Art Geek Zoo but in order to have the time to help launch and grow Lean Into Art, grow my interactive design consulting (user interface, user experience, and game design), it's been necessary.

I can't wait to share more news and details - I'll get to regular blogging here before I get to regular comic posting but rest assured more comics are coming. Not the least of which is the epic huge next part of Pick and Crunchy's story. Here's a preview of some notes where I'm pondering Pick Wingvey's visual design:

 

And here's a few extra doodles of pick where I'm thinking about the various styles I've used for him and what might be next:

News! Intervention, Comics Are Great, and Lean Into Art

So much news to share!

Intervention!

I'm in Rockville, Maryland for Intervention: "Your Online LIfe, In-Person" this weekend. Excited to experience the tabling, the fun events, and to be presenting. Friday night 8PM I'll be presenting the new and improved version of "Storytelling to Make Your Comic's UI Awesome".

Comics Are Great!

On Wednesday the 14th I was a guest on the Comics Are Great! show. Had a fun conversation with Jerzy Drozd and later in the episode Eli Niberger about how making comics is only the first challenge of creating them. We talked about the various options for publishing your comics online and tradeoffs to consider when choosing between options like a comic portal, wordpress, posterous, tumbler, and more.

Lean Into Art!

Last but not least - the lovely yet giant project that I've been working on with Jerzy Drozd is called Lean Into Art. It's an online art center with a focus on visual arts and storytelling. We have free content available via a new podcast we launched, our art/creative/teaching journal podcasts. We've also launched live workshops available in December... and the big kick-off event: 30 Classes in 30 Days!

Each day in November we'll feature a new live class, time shifted class, or lab/roundtable. Join us for "an ultimate kick in the learning"!
