Change is (Always) Afoot
Times are tough amid media chaos & tech madness, but together we can do this...
In this cartoon update:
Tough biz, but excited for change!
Experimenting with a new style cartooning.
The Big Change…
Between the chaotic world of online news, tech mayhem and a possible “extinction event,” change has been on my mind lately.
My world of political animation used to revolve around selling my weekly cartoon to online news sites. That world appears to be long gone as more of the big outlets I’d always hoped would become clients (Vice News, Buzzfeed News, etc.) have recently gone “poof!”
But do you want to know what I really think?
I would much rather be here with YOU than emailing my animation to a grumpy editor who gets nervous around satire. At the risk of sounding sales-y . . .
What we’ve got going here is the ideal: I create my cartoons for you, and those of you who can afford to chip in and keep the cartoons coming!
This has the potential to be a wonderful change that builds a stable foundation for creating political animation and fostering new and exciting work.
If more of you pitch in a little financial support, we’ll be able to keep this thing going! And if you love my work, consider a paid subscription. (Really, it’s up to us to keep political animation/cartoons alive.)
Okay, thanks for bearing with my business seminar and humble request :-)
Now, A Different Sort of Animation…
This week I’m creating the animation in a slightly different way. (Okay, maybe more than “slightly.”)
After yet another right-wing consumer freakout, I wanted to imagine what type of merchandise they would sell at America’s retailers.
So I started with some single panel cartoons…
My plan is to then roll these cartoons into an animation — likely hosted by a new right-winger cretin.
Keep your eyes peeled for the animation and more cartoons!
If you are sharp-eyed, you may be able to decipher more products from the cretins in this page of my sketchbook.
Thanks so much for being here and supporting my work!
