hahaha, well, the way Barrow deals with the funding thing is by charging a small amount to attend, like £2.50 each. It's not a lot of money, but if 15 people attend, it pays over half of the cost of the workshop. If 25-30 attended, paying that much each, the workshop would actually pay for itself.

That's a good idea ^.^
I asked about a workshop at the Ulverston library, they seem to be thinking about planning something by the sounds of things. Not sure beyond that, really... ^^"

Hey, no problem! It's a lot easier to get around when you have a few table members, I know how limiting it can be with one or two! See you around! ^_^

I could have sworn I gave you a solid reccomendation on another artist on this site did it get removed with the update or did you just decide to delete it?

If you want to recommend an artist, send me a Note, and explain why you think I will like that artist, based on what I already like (ie. the sort of thing I have faved). If you link on my front page to an artist with a gallery full of explicit content without any explanation, I'll will delete it. That gallery is neither to my tastes, nor anything I want to be seen endorsing or having linked to from my page, particularly as a number of my followers are under 18.

There's an error on DD with new pages today. I'm waiting on them fixing it. I'm afraid that there's not a whole lot I can do. I've edited the news post to tell people there's a problem.
I am extremely annoyed about it. The loss of hits cause by this is a loss of advertising revenue for me. It's literally costing me money -_-;

Not bad. Just looking around. After all the drama has cleared, it's nice to just have a look at gashu group's art. I hadn't really seen what comics you guys make, and your profile was the easiest way to link through to have a look.

Thaylien In reply to darthmongoose [2010-02-26 00:24:22 +0000 UTC]
Heh, I'm not sure whether that's something to be proud of, or a little depressed about; that I'm the easiest way to find the Group artists, but thanks
Thinking of art though, it's getting to the point where I should really start uploading the odd page or two of Haven, although I'm not sure whether I'm going to add colour to it or not... it's basically line-art right now, shading and black-fill where necessary. Colour would do the job a ton better, but I'm just not sure I have time before my deadline.
Ugh... deadlines are nasty things, I thought I was rid of them. Anyway, must sleep, thanks again for your time ^^

Yes, you should upload more art. And why not join this group?

You guys need to plug yourselves more! Get out there and show your work off a little. ^_-
Feel free to visit any time. Oh, and it's Kate. I've given up on trying to get people to call me by my full name now, hahaha.

Thaylien In reply to darthmongoose [2010-02-26 15:10:34 +0000 UTC]
Heh, if I had a couple of extra hours in the day... I might be able to upload more stuff, join a couple more groups...
Unfortunately the comic book is my hobby, I haven't got the ability to make it into a career yet, so it takes a sideline to my work and home life all too often.
But you're absolutely right about the plugging more of our stuff. We've been discussing just that between the seniors (and me, I'm not sure where I stand as yet, I'm kinda new, but they gave me a title...). A combo between advertising and attempting to get some external support through community groups IRL and so on.
Our failing is that we're so new, and so small. Without bolstering the ranks with publications and media (hence things like the podcasts, a magazine and releasing tutorials). But we're still small, even with ideas like that.
Sort out our infrastructure, and then we'll be able to go for it. But we can't run before we can walk.
Incidentally, Katherine, I prefer full names, or initials like AJ or D, which are easy to remember ^^ It's to compensate for my own name being mono-syllabic. That, and I like Katherine, it's not as harsh as Kate, almost a susurrus... you could murmur it, under your breath...
Uh, sorry I digress.
I'll give the group a look through at least, I see you've been mentioned on the front page, no less, so they have to have some taste at least

Well, I'm one of the people helping to run the group. I'm very active in the UK small press scene. IndieManga has been running about the same amount of time as you guys. We don't have podcasts or paid ads, but we get attention by participating in community groups and discussions and stuff. It makes a huge difference.

Thaylien In reply to darthmongoose [2010-02-26 17:34:30 +0000 UTC]
I'll have to find time to get out there then. We need a person to do what you do.
I'm active in the background, I help fund things like the table and electrical hookup at the Expo, design t-shirts and media, put together the magazine when we have enough material for it, that kind of thing.
I also deal with the text based elements, proof reading, phrase-ology and help with the odd sketch from a text-picture of a character.
We really do need somebody who's like that, but foreground, like yourself ^^
You never know, though, if Haven takes off (pun intended, the thing's about people who can fly), then I might be able to cut my work hours a little and let myself ease into a more social role with Gashu. Here's hoping ^^
