This morning I received two new guest-star commission requests, which I’ll begin working on this weekend for impending release. As a way of showing my sincere thanks and gratitude, all PCW guest-stars will be honored on the new Featured Guest-Stars section of the site, joining our esteemed first guest-star of 2008, Victor Cajiao.
Thanks for your support!

Manager speak and marketing speak are one in the same. I think many of these ‘buzzwords’ first emerged in marketing departments, then gradually made their way through to everyone else. Wherever their origin, buzzwords and catch-phrases are the bane of my existence.
Do you cringe when you hear such buzzwords, especially coming out of those who have no clue what they mean? I hope I’m not the only one. What corporate phrases and buzzwords drive you nuts? Sound off and let me know…

Nudging ever upward on the WX-o-meter, the thermometer has moved up another $20 this week, thanks in large to my Project Wonderful ad sponsors. I’m looking for more guest-stars or sponsors to help me reach my goal of purchasing a new Wacom Cintiq 12WX. As always, thanks for your support!
New Uncubed posted this morning – check it!

3 Podcasts You MUST Listen To… (if you're trying to make it as a webcartoonist)
by Krishna on January 27, 2008 at 1:33 pmFreelance Switch – the podcast, while primarily dedicated to freelancers of all types, provides tons of valuable information and advice on how to market yourself, set up your business, and manage your productivity. If you’re serious about making your webcomic more than your hobby, you need to think of it as a business. Check out the Freelance Switch site for even more useful info.
Webcomics Weekly – this excellent podcast features a discussion on a wide-variety of webcomic related topics by a roundtable of notable webcartoonists (Scott Kurtz, Kris Straub, Dave Kellet, and Brad “Wigwam” Guigar). Always informative and entertaining, this is one I look forward to listening to, each and every week.
Photoshop Killer Tips – if you’re making a webcomic, chances are you are using Photoshop to do it. Each weekday, Matt Kloskowski provides a new 1 – 2 minute tip to make you more proficient on this amazing application. I like to think of it as “Photoshop College”.
So there you go – three fantastic resources full of excellent information that will help you make the most of your go as a webcartoonist. Have another podcast recommendation you think would fit the bill for aspiring webcartoonists everywhere? Let me know in the comments below.

Brandon McKinney, who penciled the mind-blowing “The Army of Two” graphic novel for EA (in comic shops and book stores now!) provides the pencils and inks for this poster (the only thing I drew was the head on my character) for an upcoming Sequential Arts club meeting at the Art Institute where we both teach. I added the colors and text. Brandon is an incredible penciller, and it was a blast to work with him on this piece.

The last 6 weeks have really flown by. It’s felt a bit like boot camp – Sonia insists on a strict regimen of feeds and diaper changes – and she’s been keeping us on our toes day and night.
Yesterday she was incredibly close to rolling over all by herself. It’s fascinating to watch her learn and grow. Here she is, all decked out in pink, striking a pose with her proud pappa.
