Heroes Sketch Cards

The sketch cards during Heroes Con were all about experimentation. First was the use of color markers. In playing with it, I discovered that the color needed to be put down before the black or they would smear together. Second was working with Bristol board (the last card on the right). It held a sharper line than the card stock I usually use and may try to use it more, if it can get shoved through the printer!

The Ninja Turtle was Angela’s idea. I could think of what to start with, so she suggested him!

Free! We don’t know why they did it, but we’ll take it!

Graphicly.com

I really can’t articulate how much Graphicly has meant to us. Their support for an unknown, tiny comic has been unflagging and we are eternally grateful. If you are starting out and want to get digital distribution without all the hassle and for a VERY reasonable price, please talk to Graphicly. They will rock your face off!

You can find all three collections (the first is FREE) in these fine establishments: Kindle/Amazon, Nook and you can search “think weasel” on iTunes!

If you woud be so kind to download the first one for free and give us some reviews, we’ll send you a signed hard copy if you want one. We are so stoked, we’ll send you one just for ASKING! :) Drop us a line or comment here if you’d like a first collection sent to you.
