I've noticed too, that a gentle mix of drawings and picture really draws in a crowd. People seem to be more interested in the person behind the drawings than their drawings themselves at times, so it's good to give the people what they want.
I guess the reason that the reason for me not touching my camera until now is because I didn't feel comfortable with it. It's probably strange to hear a teenager say this but... I don't like Facebook. There! I said it! Maybe I do see it having some implications in the future, but for the time being, its best for me to stay away. If I want to become an artist who goes showing his face around the internet and elsewhere, I have to be careful of who people see me associating with. Some of us judge others based on their friends, do we not? So if one of my 'friends' (or just someone you've met only once in real life but have added to Facebook) goes posting a picture of themselves drunk at a party, then professionally, what will people think of you? Not too many high school students think of that when signing on. Perhaps we should.
Anyhow, the results I have gotten from including a mere two photographs in my last post really pleases me.
It seems as though viewing photos of my culture and where I come from really perks your interest, and I have to admit that I am touched by this. I have always thought of giving back to the community that raised me, so I guess that a cultural identification is a must for me as I progress into making a career out of this.
"LEN-Komix, Atlantic-Canadian artist..." that sure does have a nice ring to it.
My views for the past two weeks are the highest they've ever been! You appear to be coming from all over too. At times, I wondered if the bulk of my views were just my friends, but now I am assured that they aren't. Before when it said "3 views from Canada" there was no way of telling if the person was someone I knew or not, and I was kind of hoping that they were strangers, you know, to attract new faces to my blog. But, when all your views for one day are from outside the country, you are almost completely sure that they are part of an audience that aren't your closest friends. This is all very good.
I've been working very hard as of late in achieving a solid look to many of the characters and settings for my future comic project. I might as well call it future now, because calling it current makes it kind of misleading. Truth be told, I haven't really got anything of a finished product to show you guys yet, so it is not fair of me to get everyone hyped up for nothing. What I do have though is what I believe to be an excellent concept of a comic with charming characters and a self-absorbing story. I haven't come to set myself up with any real deadlines for this however, so it may be long after I graduate before you see this hitting store shelves or anything. Yet, (and I did tell my parents this) I plan on pouring myself into the project in the next couple of months following the school's end, and I do want to get to the main body of my comic, creating chapters and such when I'm freed from having to juggle schoolwork at the same time. I work far better when I don't have other things weighing me down.
