3,000 Posts

This is the 3,001st post on this site, which is something that I’m very happy about. It’s great to be able to look back and say you’ve done 3,000 of something (like having 2,000 comics). Tried to do some post finagling to make this the 3,000th post, but that didn’t work out. So this post will replace my article for the week and there will be no mid-week review.

I’m very glad to have reached such a large amount of content on this site, and I hope everyone who has been reading, watching, or listening has enjoyed it. I’ve been having a little trouble getting videos and written things out as evidenced by the past weeks. But my new schedule is settling in and allowing me to get more done.

I hope that the previous 3,000 posts have been enjoyable, and that the next 3,000 will be just as much so.

Blog 9-13-14 – Schedule + Updates for Today and the Last Month

So I haven’t had much reason to update the site in a while, but I figured that now enough little changes have piled up that they warrant some talking about.

The first thing that is noticeable is the Menu Bar: the “Store” is now gone. This is because I wasn’t selling anything at the moment, and the store had a primitive design. Therefore, it has been temporarily removed until some better products and formatting are available.

Also in the Menu Bar, you might notice that several tabs have been condensed into the “Text” and “Audio” tabs. These tabs currently take you to blank pages, but will at some point have multiple organized lists of each post in the category. Hopefully the “Comics” page will be updated at some point as well.

Next thing next: I’ve actually made a schedule of all of the things that I post on a weekly basis. This schedule can be seen on the “Schedule” page and is also listed below. It will be updated whenever something is added or removed from the weekly rotation. There are also several things that are posted on the site, whether frequently or not, that are not on the schedule as they are not weekly. Most if not all of these will be mentioned on the “Schedule” page.

Speaking of things that are coming out weekly, there are some slight changes coming to “Panzerkampfwagen” and “One Off Beat”. These changes won’t be enough to cause a major update (which I usually do on the first of January). Starting in a few weeks “Panzerkampfwagen” will expand to deal with more wars, and differing sides in the same war. The schedule will alternate between one main comic of Germans in WWII, one of another side in WWII, back to the Germans, and then one of another war entirely. There will likely be an update in the future if this changes. “One Off Beat” will be moving more toward what I had originally envisioned and become more likely a weekly feature page, where I explore different characters and possibly storylines (instead of simply exploring visual ways to tell stories, as it is now). Neither of these updates will affect the comic as much as Dice Comics was affected several months ago when it was rebooted (sorry about not making an update for that, but it didn’t seem entirely necessary…)

Speaking of a weekly feature, there is a possible new comic set that will be just that, with a new page appearing every week in a larger format. Some might just be one offs, but many will have continuing storyline that will be updated every few weeks or so. That would be kinda like a comic book where you only get a page every month (that makes it sound lame, but I’m already doing a lot, so bear with me). I will have to see if I am able to get such a project up and running, but I’m trying.

A project I did get up and running, though, is my “Editorial Cartoons”, which should be appearing every week. These might be political, so be warned if you are a sensitive reader. They won’t be appearing on the front page, so you will have to look for them, but they are on the Comics Page and Menu.

Several other things, such as the “Errata” and “Affiliates” pages, are also being updated. Hopefully, in the coming weeks some much-needed housekeeping will be done and the site will have all of its content looking much better. Until then, thank you for reading, and looking, and watching!

Reasons for Lateness

Hello followers! As you have no doubt seen if you are indeed following, things have been late all of this week. That is because I have been moving. Things will hopefully be back on track by the end of this week or the beginning of next week. And this week there will definitely be an art supply review. Thank you for taking the time to view this site and for your patience in this matter.

Updates – 7-12-14

There are going to be a few changes to the Dragon Company blog and connected sites in the near future, though nothing major.

The first thing is that while I was going to shut down the Art Supply Critic Blog, I have decided that it should remain up as it is with a new URL. Both the main Dragoncompany.org site and the Art Supply Critic Blog will receive future art supply reviews indefinitely.

Secondly, the Dragoncompany.wordpress.com blog has been shut down and will no longer be receiving any updates. Anything that would have gone to that site will now be posted on the main site.

And thirdly, Tumblr has now been linked up to the main site, so Tumblr will now receive some if not all blog and article posts from the main site. The communication box and the art supply reviews will be linked back to Dragoncompany.org instead of Communicationbox.wordpress.com and Artsupplycritic.com respectively.

So the Dragon Company active site network as it is now is: Dragoncompany.org, Dragonfunnies.com, Artsupplycritic.com, and Communicationbox.wordpress.com with most if not all material appearing on Dragoncompany.tumblr.com. Various other third-party platforms are still being used to host some material but anything created by Dragon Company will appear on any of these sites for the foreseeable future.

Thank you for reading both this post and anything else we have done.

Blog 11-25-13 – ArtWalk Thank You

Today is Monday, November 25th. And that means that it is the Monday after ArtWalk in Alpine TX. I was there with my books this year and had a wonderful time. It was cold and snowy (rainy, sleety, haily, all the weathery) but I met some great people and had some wonderful conversations.

I just wanted to thank everyone who came out, and those who took the time to talk with me and buy one or a few of my books. It’s great to actually see how people react to my work in person.  You simply don’t get that in an online environment. I hope everyone enjoyed (enjoys) reading them, and had a great time at the rest of ArtWalk. I intend to be back next year, and I’ll even be at a few other local shows here and there.

Best wishes to all over the holiday season. Good luck!
