Thanks for the link. Looks like he's been working on some of the same problems.... (Actually working on them too. Most people talk about infinite canvasses, but only a few people actually do something :P )

Web design and infinite canvases.

I am (gulp) redesigning my website in preparation for big things ahead. And I have been looking around for ideas to steal. My (fairly modest IMO) design goals are: reasonable ease of navigation, have a front page that always has whatever is new, and it shouldn't look like it was designed by a two ye...

I bring this thread back from the dead! Back, I say!

I too have been waiting all day for the forum to be live again so I could post this :)

I did a little one hour comic. As always, it can be found here: www.contretemps.net

Fanboy moment.

Please excuse me while I rave about Finder . Um. It's really good. In fact, it keeps getting better. I just bought the Talisman trade... Boy howdy. While I was bingeing on print comics, I picked up Dumped , by Andi Watson (a small one which shares some characters with Breakfast Afternoon). I'd kill ...

Cool. I was expecting a different endiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing. :D I just finished my so-called one-hour comic too. It's "so-called" because while I drew it between 3:30 and 4:00AM (pencil) and 7:00 and 7:30 AM (ink), I still have to scan it, and I'm going to spend probably a couple of hours coloring an...

Robot!!! ARRR!!!

My latest: http://www.contretemps.net/archives/200 ... 11202.html

I think that I am finding it increasingly difficult to stick to the one-hour limitation. I'm not really sure I much care, though, since the point for me is to get me drawing comics... Anyway, this one is about a robot.

Nah, they wouldn't own the copyright on my art...
